I like way too many types of "rock" (by your definition) music, "It's Hard" to pick a top 10. A lot of this stuff I don't listen to much any more but when you've been around 48+ years and love music; life experiences get associated the music you were listening to at the time...from childhood (The Beatles, Neil Diamond, Eagles, Carpenters, Simon and Garfunkel), teen (Foreigner, Prince, U2, Petty, hair metal), college (Zeppelin, Doors, Cure, Smiths), old man status (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Bon Iver) etc....it burns an indelible mark on your psyche. With that said, that's a good desert island rock playlist.
HM: The Cure, Springsteen, Paul Simon (and Garfunkel), The Police, Father John Misty, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, RHCP, The Doors, The Who, Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Bowie, Neil Young, Alice In Chains, STP, Sublime, Depeche Mode, Foreigner, Journey, Boston, The Carpenters, The Smiths, Guns N Roses, Tom Petty, Weezer, Ratt, Def Lepard, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Queensryche, Queen, Bee Gees, REM, etc.
I think we all have HM lists that are a mile long, but it's a fun experiment to get a large number of people do their desert isle top 10 favorite rock bands. "Either way, it will be interesting" TM.
Harv (RIP) and I went round and round on The Who v. Led Zeppelin back in the Pit (RIP) era.
Zeppelin had the greatest pieces together in one band.
Plant = Daltry; Daltry was a more excited performer but didn't really write any songs; I think Plant was a decent songwriter. Vocals is a tie for me.
Page = Townshend; Page better guitar player although I love Townshend style; Townshend better songwriter by a mile.
Entwistle > JPJ - Not even close here.
Bonham = Moon; Moon is my all time favorite drummer, but this is pretty much a tie.
I'd argue Zeppelin is a more "important" band in rock history, but I could have seen any of them live in the their prime (wasn't born until late 70's), I'd go with the Who every time. Actually saw the Who in 2000 at the Gorge before Entwistle died from hookers and blow. They weren't too bad for being old geezers.
Saw them both live. Jimmy Page made Zep far superior
Watch The Song Remains the Same and imagine your ears bleeding hearing that live
Page more virtuoso. But loudest rock concert on record was The Who. Plus i love windmills and guitar smashing.
Saw The Who six times....
Plant>> Daltry. Vocals and composing Page>>>Townsend JPJ>>>>Entwhislte Moon slight edge over Bonham
I like The Who but Plant is better than Daltry. Pete Townsend is overrated. If he didn't windmill and smash his guitars he'd be JAG. Plant is a wizard and a brilliant composer.
Keith Moon was a fucking octopus and could hit the toms. he's the best drummer of all time IMO. Sorry Bonham and Neil Pert.
Bonham was a bad mother fucker too. Nobody hit the drums harder than him. He, like Moon, was a crazy fucker.
When Zeppelin used to come to Seattle they liked to stay in the Edgewater hotel. The band liked fish out their hotel room windows.
One time Bonham and Zeppelins manager, Peter Cole, had some skanks up in their room when Bonham caught a fish. After he reeled it on he looked at one of the girls who was already naked and told her to spread her legs.
"Here's a snapper for your snapper," Bonham said. When he put the fish in, the girl went wild.
Mud shark, shark, shark. Dude look at my Avatar. I know the history of the aforementioned hotel quite well and about being able to stick your little pole out the window and actually catch something. I met this old red headed broad out sailing once who was quite the groupie back in the early 70s. Claimed to have blown Rod Stewart. Afterwards I thought she might have been the mud shark chick.

For me Moon, Bonham, and Ginger Baker are the greatest classic rock drummers of all time. I get the brilliance of Neil Peart but if only Rush could have gotten better lead singer and just let Geddy Lee play bass.
But, I think a case can be made that Buddy Rich is the greatest drummer of all time across any genres. Blakey is amazing. I am big into later stages of the 2nd Miles Quintet and thus partial to Tony Williams.
Disturbing lack of Metallica on many of these lists. This place is getting really gay.
Last I checked Metallica is actually tied for 3rd place right now. I thought given our demographic they would be about top 3 or 4 with an outside chance of winning.

A lot of this stuff I don't listen to much any more but when you've been around 48+ years and love music; life experiences get associated the music you were listening to at the time...from childhood (The Beatles, Neil Diamond, Eagles, Carpenters, Simon and Garfunkel), teen (Foreigner, Prince, U2, Petty, hair metal), college (Zeppelin, Doors, Cure, Smiths), old man status (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Bon Iver) etc....it burns an indelible mark on your psyche. With that said, that's a good desert island rock playlist.
HM: The Cure, Springsteen, Paul Simon (and Garfunkel), The Police, Father John Misty, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, RHCP, The Doors, The Who, Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Bowie, Neil Young, Alice In Chains, STP, Sublime, Depeche Mode, Foreigner, Journey, Boston, The Carpenters, The Smiths, Guns N Roses, Tom Petty, Weezer, Ratt, Def Lepard, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Queensryche, Queen, Bee Gees, REM, etc.
I think we all have HM lists that are a mile long, but it's a fun experiment to get a large number of people do their desert isle top 10 favorite rock bands. "Either way, it will be interesting" TM.
Harv (RIP) and I went round and round on The Who v. Led Zeppelin back in the Pit (RIP) era.
Zeppelin had the greatest pieces together in one band.
Plant = Daltry; Daltry was a more excited performer but didn't really write any songs; I think Plant was a decent songwriter. Vocals is a tie for me.
Page = Townshend; Page better guitar player although I love Townshend style; Townshend better songwriter by a mile.
Entwistle > JPJ - Not even close here.
Bonham = Moon; Moon is my all time favorite drummer, but this is pretty much a tie.
I'd argue Zeppelin is a more "important" band in rock history, but I could have seen any of them live in the their prime (wasn't born until late 70's), I'd go with the Who every time. Actually saw the Who in 2000 at the Gorge before Entwistle died from hookers and blow. They weren't too bad for being old geezers.
Saw them both live. Jimmy Page made Zep far superior
Watch The Song Remains the Same and imagine your ears bleeding hearing that live
Page more virtuoso. But loudest rock concert on record was The Who. Plus i love windmills and guitar smashing.
Saw The Who six times....
Plant>> Daltry. Vocals and composing Page>>>Townsend JPJ>>>>Entwhislte Moon slight edge over Bonham
I like The Who but Plant is better than Daltry. Pete Townsend is overrated. If he didn't windmill and smash his guitars he'd be JAG. Plant is a wizard and a brilliant composer.
Keith Moon was a fucking octopus and could hit the toms. he's the best drummer of all time IMO. Sorry Bonham and Neil Pert.
Bonham was a bad mother fucker too. Nobody hit the drums harder than him. He, like Moon, was a crazy fucker.
When Zeppelin used to come to Seattle they liked to stay in the Edgewater hotel. The band liked fish out their hotel room windows.
One time Bonham and Zeppelins manager, Peter Cole, had some skanks up in their room when Bonham caught a fish. After he reeled it on he looked at one of the girls who was already naked and told her to spread her legs.
"Here's a snapper for your snapper," Bonham said. When he put the fish in, the girl went wild.
Hey, hey I want to be a rockstar.
If we are limited to just classic rock, you might have a case, but the best drummer of all time does not live in the rock genre.

The ventures
Beatles
Pearl Jam
Queen
Boston
Rob zombie
Apocalyptica
System of a Down
Disturbed
HTH
Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, and Brian Blade would be in the top 5.
Thanks for the tip (seriously)
LOL.
But, I think a case can be made that Buddy Rich is the greatest drummer of all time across any genres. Blakey is amazing. I am big into later stages of the 2nd Miles Quintet and thus partial to Tony Williams.
Stones
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Hendrix
Alice Cooper
Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Neil Young
Modest Mouse
Tool
Bowie
311
Incubus
Smashing Pumpkins
Back when a dual CD album cost double I had to mow a fuck ton of lawns to buy Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness.
