Top 100 Rock-N-Roll Bands of all Time
All right, the guy dropped the ball, so we are going to take over for him. I'm going to do 80-90, each person do a set of 10, so everyone can make a contribution to this list. This way, we at least made an input before we criticize!
The cannabis.com top 100 of all time. from 80-89. In this section, I'm going to put the artists everyone tend to forget, or don't even know about, but their impact to music has been huge, not necessarily commercially, but critically.
89. Cedric & Omar (of At The Drive-In, and The Mars Volta) - These two are the catalyst of great works that has been produced in the last decade and a half. From their post-hardcore sound with At The Drive-In, to the progressive rock with The Mars Volta, this pair still show rock'n'roll is not dead, it's merely has begun.
88. Neutral Milk Hotel - Led by songwriter Jeff Magnum, he made the most intricate album of the 90s. The album so well constructed, and immaculate, he chose never to make another album again. I don't blame him. That album "In An Aeroplane Over The Sea" is also known as the tribute to Anne Frank. If you never heard it, and you claim to be a big music fan, you are lost. I suggest the first thing download it, get stoned, and listen to it. Don't change tracks, otherwise you'll destroy the impact.
87. Operation Ivy - To disagree with Deadhead, Bad Brains is nowhere near the label ska-punk. Bad Brains started as Jazz Fusion, before going hardcore with some dub reggae influence. However the first to bring ska-punk to wider audiences is this band above, Operation Ivy. The single album they produced is one of the most important works of the ska-punk genre. This album has inspired the works of many bands, including Sublime, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Green Day and many more.
86. The Kinks - This is the forgotten band of the British invasion. Overshadowed by The Beatles, Stones, and The Who, they produced beautiful melodies, and their albums more intricate than their peers. Their bluesy, psychedelic sound was the blueprint for influencing bands that many consider the godfathers of heavy metal.
85. The Beach Boys - They credit Sgt Pepper as the first "concept" album, but really this title belongs to the Beach Boys. They beat the Beatles by a year with "Pet Sounds." Their impact on pop music is still felt today. All pop artists are indirectly influenced by them.
84. My Bloody Valentine - Founders of Shoegaze, which involve creative distortion and reverb techniques, they produced a number of great albums no one bothered to pick up and listen to. They are the inspiration of many bands in the indie scene, and their sound has influenced a vast amount of lesser known genres in rock, dream pop and post-punk most notably.
83. Mahavishnu Orchestra - You probably wonder, who the hell are these guys? They were one of the pioneers of jazz fusion. Many credit The Grateful Dead for influencing the jam band movement. They are right, but not completely. Much of the jam sound today comes from the influence of jazz fusion, which these guys founded. No band has ever blended eastern and western influences as well as them.
82. The Clash - London Calling. That's all I need to say. Every album they produced is a classic, one of the first punk bands to become famous, however they were so much more than that. They incorporated many genres of music into their sound.
81. Brian Eno - Not one man has done more for music than this guy. Not only did he have a deep impact on Rock'N'Roll but electronica. He spawned countless genres: New Wave, Glam, Art , Ambient, and Electronica.
80. The Velvet Underground - This band influenced many bands, and artists including Brian Eno, who made this famous quote: "While only a few thousand people bought a Velvet Underground record upon their initial release almost every single one of them was inspired to start a band." Lou Reed is a god in his craft, blissful songwriting that their influences are still heard today.
Now I pass the torch.....
