10. Pink Floyd

One of the most predominant and celebrated rock bands of all time, prog- and space-rock legends, known for superlative musicianship.

Highly acclaimed hard rockers from the California desert who update old-school riff rock without slavish imitation or overloaded irony.

Trail-blazing college rock band from Athens, Georgia who were instrumental in bringing alternative rock into the mainstream in the '80s and '90s.

7. The Beatles

The most popular and influential rock act of all time, a band that blazed several new trails for popular music.

Giants of the '90s grunge scene who epitomized the heavy Seattle sound and distinguished themselves via their roots in uncompromising heavy metal.

Hive mindery was enshrined in the rules from the start!

At least the fucking Beatles aren't number one this time.

The 6th greatest band of all time - Alice in Chains.

I think we can all agree they’re more prolific, game-changing, creative, and just an overall better band than the Beatles.

Duh.

holy christ

Soundgarden's popularity on this board is lost on me, but whatever.

I can't imagine there are any other posters here that works have them in their top 25.

I thought maybe Stip

Does Stip like The Mynabirds? Huh. But did he fill out a list for this, though?

Also, Ms Harmless was a big fan of their second record back in the day. Don't know if that's still true or whether that extends beyond the one record.

I wouldn't be surprised if RHCP dropped completely from the list. My guess is Metallica.
