The Top Ten
1 AC/DC - "All their songs sound the same" 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... read more

Most of the people who say this can't even name five AC/DC songs that sound similar.

This is true. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. While it is true, that doesn't mean it's bad.

2 Led Zeppelin - "They ripped off so many songs" 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... read more
3 Pink Floyd - "Music for stoners" 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... read more

This is truer for the band Sleep.

4 Freddie Mercury - "The greatest singer of all time" Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara, 5th September 1946 - 24th November 1991) was a Zanzibari-born British singer of Indian descent, songwriter and record producer, known as the lead vocalist and songwriter of the British rock band Queen. He also became known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave... read more

Except for Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Frank Sinatra, and at least a dozen classical singers, from Pavarotti to Bocelli.

He's one of them. But what I love about Queen the most is Brian May.

"Greatest singer of all time"? Who said that, Freddie Mercury?

5 The Beatles - "They created rock music" 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... read more

No. But they were instrumental (no pun intended) in its development. As for Chuck Berry, rock is not interchangeable with rock 'n' roll, which is an offshoot of blues. And Chuck invented neither.

If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'. - John Lennon

To us, he was a magician, making music that was exotic yet normal at the same time. We learned so many things from him, which led us into a dream world of rock 'n' roll music. About Chuck Berry - Paul McCartney

I like the Beatles, but they didn't create it. The people who say this should tell Chuck Berry.

6 Bob Dylan - "His singing is crap. But his song writing is amazing" Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter, author, and artist who has been an influential figure in popular music and culture for more than five decades.

Yeah, I hold my hands up and admit that I have said this. I do like Dylan. His songwriting is amazing. But his voice... he sounds like an inebriated something slurring to a dog peeing against a tree. It's like having a fantastically written novel read out loud by someone who is illiterate. It dilutes the genius.

Not in his early career, but in the 80s his voice was terrible. Especially on Empire Burlesque.

He sounds like Lou Reed but a bit older and trying harder.

7 The Rolling Stones - "They were only good in the 60's and early 70's" The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. The first settled line-up consisted of Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica), Ian Stewart (piano), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica), Keith Richards (guitar), Bill Wyman (bass) and Charlie Watts (drums)... read more

Still around and still making great music. Their current song, Living in a Ghost Town, has the ability to sound both current and yesteryear. How many bands are able to do that?

I agree with this one. But their last album was amazing.

8 Black Sabbath - "They Invented Metal"
9 Tame Impala - "They're like a mixture of Beatles and Pink Floyd" Tame Impala is an Australian psychedelic rock band founded by Kevin Parker in 2007. The group began as a home recording project for Parker, who writes, records, performs, and produces the music.
10 Chuck Berry - "The real king of Rock n Roll" Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter, and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. He died on 18 March 2017.

This is really arguable. He and a few other mentionables were largely responsible for the popularization of rock 'n' roll, but the "king" title is wholly symbolic and representative neither of talent nor uniqueness nor of true pioneer status.

The Contenders
11 Metallica - "They sold out"
12 Deep Purple - "They invented metal" Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in Hertford in 1968. They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, although their musical approach changed over the years. Originally formed as a progressive rock band, the band shifted to a heavier sound in 1970. Deep Purple,... read more
13 Justin Bieber - "The worst singer ever" Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette... read more

He can be the worst male singer, but the worst singer ever goes to Taylor Swift.

14 Korn - "Poser Metal"
15 Greta Van Fleet - "are a poor man's Led Zeppelin"
16 Megadeth - "Megadeth is better than Metallica"
17 Arctic Monkeys - "Alex is hot" The Arctic Monkeys, otherwise known as the Death Ramps, are a British indie rock band formed in 2002 in Sheffield, England. The band consists of Alex Turner (lead vocalist, songwriter, electric and rhythm guitarist), Jamie Cook (electric and rhythm guitarist, songwriter), Matt Helders (percussionist,... read more

No one seems to care about their music or other band members. Everyone is in love with their lead singer, Alex Turner. If you go to their YouTube comment section, you will most likely see a bunch of comments about Alex. It's like the other band members don't even exist. AM is not Alex Music. Believe it or not, it actually stands for Arctic Monkeys (plural).

18 Steppenwolf - "They made the first heavy metal song" Steppenwolf is a Canadian-American rock group that was prominent from 1968 to 1972. The group was formed in late 1961 in Toronto by vocalist John Kay, keyboardist Goldy McJohn, and drummer Jerry Edmonton.

The band consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboards, other instruments), Colin Greenwoood (bass guitar), Phil Selway (drums), and Ed O'Brien (guitar).
20 Testament - "Testament should be in the big five of thrash metal"
21 Primus - "Hillbilly Tool"
22 Linkin Park: “Chester's voice is the best."
