Final Results - All time top 10 rock recording artists poll
Each vote = number of times a particular artist/band made it onto a poster’s list.
1) Led Zeppelin (16 votes) – No surprises here
2) Metallica (10 votes) – Too many of us are fags according to @Swaye because Metallica didn’t win.
3A) Rolling Stones (9 votes) – Tough loss for me here as a “Stones better than Zep” guy, but I will respect the results of this election.
3B) Pink Floyd (9 votes)
5) The Who (8 votes) – Was really pleased by a competitive showing here by one of my all time favorites.
6) The Beatles (7 votes) – I was worried they might not make the cut.
7A) Tool (6 votes)
7B) AC DC (6 votes)
8) 5 Way Tie with 5 votes each: Bowie, Hendrix, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and (not the fucking) Eagles.

Poppies too low

I voted for Zeppelin but really they shouldn't be number 1. They aren't the best, but the most popular.

I don't like a single band on that list. I do like Bieber though.

There's a boy band in the honorable mention section of the list.allpurpleallgold said:I don't like a single band on that list. I do like Bieber though.

Why no jam bands?

The neo hippie jam bands suck mostly but I had the Dead in my top 10. Apparently only one other person agreed with me.pawz said:Why no jam bands?

@GrandpaSankey help out this blind man. -
I can kinda see Boob's point here- i.e., Zep was very capable of extended, self indulgent jamming live-e.g., as seen in the Song Remains the Same. Who stretched out a bit on some tracks on Live and Leeds but nothing along the line of Zep. Can't speak to Tool as not too knowledgeable here.BennyBeaver said:

Tool wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too low

Jesus - who counted the votes? The King County Board of Elections?
Tool?!? For fuck sakes, I don't care if you're the biggest hater in the world but no fucking way Tool deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as The Police, Queen, U2, or, hell, even the fucking Eagles.

I can assure you all of the integrity of the vote counting. Queen and U2 just missed the 4 vote cut-off for honorable mention.PurpleThrobber said:Jesus - who counted the votes? The King County Board of Elections?

I left the Eagles off my list but they are all over my play list. Saw them at @Swaye northern plains home at the Muckleshoot early this century. Still a great show

You seem like the sort of old timey Dawg fan that would like the peaceful, easy, feeling of the eagles and a fresh bowl.RaceBannon said:I left the Eagles off my list but they are all over my play list. Saw them at @Swaye northern plains home at the Muckleshoot early this century. Still a great show

Black sabbath crushes everyone on that list. I regret never opening that thread now.
-
If AC/DC came in behind Nirvana, I was going to set fire to the whole fucking place.
Tool really doesn't belong tied with the bad boys, either. Picking scabs again can't really compare to movin' down the motorway with a whole lotta booze. Not a huge complaint, though, as Tool does rock and I like them.
Definitely a stronger than expected showing by Metallica. Fine with me.
This pole wasn't entirely gay. Props to YellowSnow for tabulating the results. -

I didn't pick them, rather, just referring to their getting some votes. Personally I think U2 is one of the most overrated bands ever despite my owning a few of their albums. I was kind of surprised with the utter lack of Pearl Jam support. I thought some early 90s Doogs would be pulling for them.2001400ex said:

I thought about Pearl jam but not enough good music. They have a ton of albums and I don't care about most of them. Ten is solid tho.YellowSnow said:

I just think U2 is awful. I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a pencil than listen to U2 or Hootie. -
As stated previously, most of you have shit taste in music.
Metallica @ #2 is proof.
