Band Ratings for TopTenners #1
I love seeing people's opinions on bands. So here are 10 bands, rate them out of 10 stars. I might do more depending on the amount of input. And please don't take offense at my opinions.
Led Zeppelin was an English hard rock band formed in London in 1968 as the New Yardbirds. The group consisted of Robert Plant (Vocal), Jimmy Page (Guitar), John Paul Jones (Bass, Keyboard) and John Bonham (Drums) and was very much the child of Jimmy Page who even financed their first tour. He had tasted some previous success with The [original] Yardbirds and was friendly with some big names in rock... read more 9/10. They're just so consistent in making songs that I enjoy.
3/10 - Immigrant Song and Stairway To Heaven are decent enough, but their other songs are pretty lame and cringy. I don't like the singing or the guitar work that much either.
7.5-8 out of 10 (?)
They are quite overhated (and overpraised), not gonna lie.
Queen are an English rock band formed in London in 1970. The original lineup was Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, vocals), and John Deacon (bass guitar, vocals). Before forming into Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor had played together in a band named Smile. Freddie Mercury was a fan of Smile and encouraged them to experiment with more elaborate... read more 10/10. My favourite classic rock band.
7.5/10 - to be honest, their music isn't my style, but they were VERY talented and awesome musicians.
10/10. Amazing band with very talented musicians and memorable songs
The Beatles were an English pop rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. The members consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They were soon known as the foremost and most influential act of rock era. Rooted in skiffle, beat, and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several genres, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard... read more 6/10. Intensely overrated, but still good.
9/10. I’ll admit that they are pretty overrated, but they made many catchy and memorable songs. The members also were pretty talented. Plus, they were very influential
8/10 - they have some nice songs. They're quite overrated though and get way too much credit.
Pink Floyd are an English progressive rock band formed in 1965 in London, England. They achieved international acclaim with their progressive and psychedelic music. The band consisted of 5 members - David Gilmour (Vocals and Guitar), Syd Barrett (Vocals and Guitar), Nick Mason (Drums), Roger Waters (Vocals and Bass), and Richard Wright (Vocals and Keyboard). Barrett was replaced by Gilmour in 1968... read more 6/10. Like their music, but not a big fan.
7.5/10 - eh, their songs are kinda boring but I still like them and enjoy listening to them from time to time.
10/10. Still the best prog rock band ever in my opinion
Guns N' Roses is an American hard rock band from Los Angeles formed in 1985.

Apart from hard rock they are also associated with heavy metal... read more 7/10. TBH they're just overplayed in my opinion.
10/10. Best Hard Rock band of all time. Couldn't stop listening to their songs when I was in highschool.
10/10 - what can I say? They're an awesome band and one of my favourites.
AC/DC are a Australian hard rock band, formed in November 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, who continued as members until Malcolm's illness and departure in 2014 . They were fronted by Bon Scott until his untimely death due to alcohol poisoning in 1979, after which they hired Brian Johnson to front the band.
Commonly referred to as a hard rock or blues rock band. 3/10. I very much dislike their style of music, that's just my opinion.
4/10 - I don't like the weird yelping vocal style that both of their singers used. It reminds me of a cat getting run over by a car. Also, a lot of their songs have the exact same guitar riffs (ex. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and TNT). Angus Young is a good guitarist and they have a couple of okay songs, but that's about the most positive thing I can say about them.
Sorry not giving an out of ten rating but they are OK although I am certainly not a fan.
Nirvana was an American grunge band that was formed in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987. Nirvana disbanded after Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994. The drummer of the band, David Grohl, went on to start the Foo-Fighters, an alternative rock band.The band was comprised of Kurt Cobain (Vocals, Guitar), Dave Grohl (Drums) and Krist Novoselic (Bass).

6.5/10. Have some very great songs.
5.5/10 - I like some of their songs, but they don't deserve to be called one of the greatest bands of all time because as musicians and songwriters, they were quite average (Dave Grohl is a very talented man though).
6/10. I respect this grunge band, but they aren’t the best. Nevermind is an alright album, but not even close to their best. Smells Like Teen Spirit is way too overrated
Metallica is an American Heavy/Thrash Metal band formed in 1981. The original lineup was James Hetfield (Vocalist and Rhythm guitarist), Dave Mustaine (Lead Guitar), Lars Ulrich (Drums), Ron McGovney (Bassist). The group came into mainstream from their Self-Titled album and the hit single "Enter Sandman"... read more 4/10. I'm not a heavy rock fan.
5/10. Not a metal fan to be honest, but I'm not saying they're bad. Very influential to many
9.5/10. Still my favorite metal band of all time. Not all of their discography is great, but they made lots great songs.
Creedence Clearwater Revival, often shortened to Creedence and abbreviated as CCR, was an American rock band active in the late 1960s and early 1970s. 9/10. They've got such a original sound to them, I love it.
8/10. Pretty good band. Bad Moon Rising and Have You Ever Seen The Rain are good songs by this band
8.5/10. These guys made heaps of great songs!
8/10 Good band.

5/10. Nothing great, nothing bad.
7.5/10. The Beatles are way better, but the Stones still have a few good songs.
5/10 - I only like Paint It Black, the rest of their songs don't appeal to me.
