My take

Beatles
Stones
Zep
Floyd
Nirvana or Sabbath

These 5 bands inspired the multitudes of musicians after them.

Just my .02.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and all but no.

I can't even find a place for them top 20. Not that they are bad but you're taking about all time greats.

You're going to sell me on Radiohead being better than The Beatles, Led Zepplin, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Hendrix, Elvis? What about Tom Petty, ACDC, Rush, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Van Halen, The Eagles, U2....C'mon Top 5 of ALL Time? I'm not convinced they crack top 5 of their era.

have heard several of their records, my favorite is Moon Shaped Pool. They are a great band, but they are very derivative. Sometimes they sound like Beatles, sometime Oasis, sometimes they mimic U2 really well. My point is that they put out a lot of records but none are unique or anything "new" IMHO.


I'm not even a big Radiohead fan, but this is a terrible and/or troll take.

U2 at Slane Castle is one of the coolest live shows you'll ever see if you like their music. Even if you don't, it's a quality show. U2 "Go Home" DVD Live Slane Castle 2001 (Full Concert)

Edit: People either love or hate U2, there seems to be no in between. But there's no debating they're one of the best live performing bands of all time.

Not necessarily in order, but this is the Top 5.



THIS with one exception. Take out The Who and replace them with Queen and you have a Top 5 that's very difficult to argue with

Awful


This proves you know nothing about music. You need to start all over again.

Van Halen, with Dave or Sammy, is rock and roll royalty. Radiohead are mere village peasants. (Though I don't dislike their music.)
