Top Ten: rock,blues and metal bands


This is just a ranking of my favourite bands and information and this will top 10/11 month. If you agree please comment and share.These are just the bands I listen to.

10. Jimi Hendrix and the Experience. 
Even though Hendrix is THE best guitarist there ever was.I think this was just a bit of a showman thing that produced some of the best songs ever but most of its was just Hendrix playing inhumanly fast only creating noise.

9. Dire Straits
They're good but I just find they're a bit inconsistent, by that I mean that if a song is 10 minutes long only 4 of those minutes will be good and 3 and half of that will be the solo and the other 30 seconds will be leading up to the solo on most of their song.The best song they produced with out a doubt is Sultans of Swing but their other songs don't live up to that standard.

8. Linkin Park 
To be honest their just a bit soft, to much "nu" in the "metal". They have some half descent songs and some brilliant ones. Like the Beatles you get their songs stuck in your head at the wrong time and the wrong place, like in the middle of your GSCE's.They're also a bit to modern for my liking.

7.Creed 
I generally think post-grunge sounds the same, so you really can't tell who copied who.They're a good band but just not good enough for the top 5.Atleast they didn't turn into a pop group (well maybe a little bit)  like maroon 5.

6. Nickelback
 Pretty close between them and Creed, I just feel that they have a better quality of music and consistency.What knocked them down a few levels was that they cared more about marketing (like pop groups) and less about their own music, they just down graded over the years.


5.Dorje 
A pretty small metal band, they would be No1 if it was top ten metal bands but its not, so it is what it is. Search them up on Youtube.Type in Dorje Aeromancy.

4.Derek and the Dominos 
The brilliant blues group they could be no3 but i just don't think their songs influenced many people and had a catchy tune like other blues songs.

3.Nirvana
The icon of grunge without doubt but in my opinion grunge is covered up by distortion which just hides the players mistakes which is a shame, so there really is no way to put them any higher.


2.Guns 'n' Roses
Great band but some are just more original.



1.ONE DIRECTION
Only joking.


1. Cream/Led Zeppelin 
Its a joint first. They're both as inspiring as each other.Cream influenced the blues rock and psychedelic rock side of things and Led Zeppelin the folk rock and hard rock side.



Other respectable bands

The Rolling Stones (an good band and would but them inbetween Nirvana and Guns 'n' Roses but its not top 11)
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Metallica (would have made it on the list but only have a few good songs)
Bob Marley and the Wailers (good songs but they are the only good reggae band which would make it unfair)
Pink Floyd (just not a fan)
