The Rolling Stones

Whenever someone thinks about rock, this group comes to mind. One of the few acts to survive such a long time and still be awesome. They started in the 60's, and were viewed as a tougher counterpart to the Beatles during the 'British Invasion'. Eventually they moved away from covers and pop to a more bluesy style of their own.

Their best albums were made between 1968 and 1972 (from Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main St.), which was when the band was more focused. After that they started to relax. They still release some good songs from time to time, but their average dropped. However, how dare you complain? It's the Rolling Stones! Their live shows are great too.





My Top 5:
-Sympathy for the Devil
-Gimme Shelter
-Paint it, Black
-Shine a Light
-Can't You Hear Me Knocking

Happiness Is a Warm Gun

I'll just leave this here...

Two Top 10s

Led Zeppelin and Queen. I don't think there's anything I need to say about these classic bands. I know that this can apply to most of the bands I talk about here, but it is specifically truer for these two.

Now, if you asked me which one I prefer then I would be in trouble because it's very difficult to pick one, considering they have different styles. All I can say is that Led Zeppelin came first and that they were an influence on early Queen.

Since a Top 5 wouldn't be enough, I'm doing a Top 10. I haven't included Stairway to Heaven or Bohemian Rhapsody since they would unfairly occupy the number one spot, being the classics that they are.

Led Zeppelin Top 10:
-Immigrant Song
-Whole Lotta Love
-The Ocean
-Dazed and Confused
-Heartbreaker
-Tangerine
-Ramble On
-Ten Years Gone
-Good Times Bad Times
-Black Dog

Queen Top 10:
-Killer Queen
-We Will Rock You
-We Are the Champions
-Hammer to Fall
-Don't Stop Me Now
-Seven Seas of Rhye
-I Want to Break Free
-Now I'm Here
-Another One Bites the Dust
-The Millionaire Waltz

Death Note AMV

Red Hot Chili Peppers

An alternative rock band formed in the 80's. Their style began as a fusion of rock, funk and rap, with elements from other genres too, but they have evolved into a finer, more polished style throughout the years.

Their early material is just ok for me, but nothing special. It wasn't until they had a steady lineup in 1989 that they took off. Blood Sugar Sex Magik is their greatest album, and a must for any fan of alternative rock. They're currently working on their new album.

My Top 5:
-Storm in a Teacup
-Give it Away
-Under the Bridge
-Otherside
-Higher Ground (cover)

In case you haven't listened to Storm in a Teacup, here it is:
