Top Ten Favorite Bands


Mr. Not

Recommended Posts

The Beatles

Rush

Van Halen (but not the Cherone era)

Black Sabbath (the Ozzy and Dio eras)

The Rolling Stones

The Police

UFO (the Schenker era)

Soundgarden

Led Zeppelin

Guns N Roses (the 1980s and 1990s versions)

 

The exact placement shifts constantly.

 

I would drop Zeppelin for AC/DC or Def Leppard.

No Aerosmith?

 

RNB's been hacked!

 

10 is a pretty tight number. Aerosmith gets hurt by the Get A Grip forward catalog.

Get A Grip was excellent IMO

 

I think about half of Get A Grip is excellent, the other half is average. Not anything I don't like, but a few songs I feel no need to revisit. Definitely some killer tracks on there though.

This is an old thread. Goobs was still here.

 

I was only here a year and I didn't post. Probably still too afraid of all of you and still trying to figure Treeduck and Earl out. :lol:

I too was scrolling through this thread and saw Goobs post and was reminiscing (thinking about several of our Grateful Dead conversations).

Still wondering when he will make that 30,000th post.
