Blue Oyster Cult: Super Hits, has all the classics. Godzilla, Don't Fear The Reaper (YOU MUST GET THIS LIVE), Burnin' For You, etc... It should get you a good feel of what they're like.

My favorite studio album by them is Secret Treaties. Agents of Fortune is probably their most popular studio album, since it has "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" on it.

You may want to go with a compilation of some sort first though. I have The Essential Blue Oyster Cult along with a few of their studio albums.

For serious? Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Cream are three of the most talented bands EVAR at both playing their instruments and writing music. The other seven are some of the greatest bands ever as well (Sex Pistols are the least 'talented' of all those, but they made punk big and changed music forever).

All of those are good except DragonForce. I'm gonna be less of a dick than I usually am about musical opinions and just say I dislike their music. All their songs sound the same and their lyrics suck, A LOT. I used to like them but they got annoying.

Herman Li is a great guitarist. But he feels insecure in how good he is at guitar, so he uses computers to make his solos better. Big disappointment to people who used to think it was real.

as far as bands go, excluding single artists and other stuff like that (which rules out most electronica olol)

The Mars Volta (they are probably the best rock band that was formed after 2000.)
Daft Punk (hmm...yeah they're kind of a band...)
Pendulum (probably one of the most well-known DnB bands.  Famous for "Hold your Colour")
The Beatles (you can't have a top ten bands list without 'em)
The Rolling Stones (same)
The Black Mages (awesomeness.)
Sigur Rós (I normally don't like slow, dreamy stuff, but these guys pull it off amazingly)
Eurythmics (just for making one of the most virally catchy songs ever olol.)
Pink Floyd (inventive, all around good group to listen to if you're in the mood for some 80's rock)
DragonForce (Look, their songs sound awesome, I don't care if they're electronically enhanced.)

This doesn't mean just bands, I meant bands as in 'top ten artists'. Like, some people put David Bowie on their list and he's not a band, he's a person.

Oh and Floyd is actually more of a 70s band.

Yeah, considering Waters was out of the band completely by 1985, and their last famous album, The Wall, was released in 1982.

Yes, almost all of their greatest work was recorded during the 70s, though The Wall has at least a few good tunes despite being a relatively annoying album overall (so much filler, and Waters sounds like a baby the whole god darn time), and a little bit of the stuff from more recent Gilmour-led albums is actually pretty cool.

And of course, Pink Floyd in the 60s was pretty bland. Not necessarily bad, but just sort of boring. A few weird tunes here and there to speak of, but everything else was skip-worthy.
Title: Re: ITT top ten bands
Post by: major tom on January 26, 2008, 08:32:37 AM
The Wall came out in 1979, the movie came in '82.

I just finished torrenting the Piper at the Gates of Dawn (Been meaning to for a while) and I intercourse ing love it so far. Also, listen to the songs 'The Nile Song' and 'Ibiza Bar' from 1969's More. Pink Floyd doing hard rock. Awesome.

Yeah, but it's mostly metal. Floyd is one of the few rock bands.

It kinda does fit in because you like progressive. Not as weird as seeing a chart with SOAD, Radiohead, Nirvana, Nickelback, Mudvayne, and A7X... and then, BAM! The Beatles, right there at number eight on the charts.

But it's true. I have an e-homie (haven't spoken to him forever though) who loves metal, especially extreme metal. He also totally loves the Beatles. Besides the Beatles, he only likes a couple of other rock bands.
