All time greats:- [:)] how would you name the greatest 5 or 10 for each of these categories: Hard, Soft, Metal?? (or they overlap?)

Soft Rock (including lots of alternative and progressive bands here for want of a better category):

 

Bonnie Tyler

The Pretenders

The Cranberries

U2

REM

Radiohead

Kansas (could be classified as Hard Rock depending on the song. e.g. Dust in the Wind is definitely soft rock, Carry on Wayward Son is def. Hard Rock)

Pink Floyd

Lynyrd Skynyrd (again could be considered Hard Rock depending on the song)

 

Hard Rock (lots of them overlap with Metal):

 

Led Zeppelin

Deep Purple

Guns N Roses

Def Leppard

Bon Jovi

AC/DC

Skid Row

Nirvana

Soundgarden

Pearl Jam

Alice In Chains

A Perfect Circle

 

Metal:

 

Metallica

Iron Maiden

Black Sabbath

Slayer

Megadeth

Anthrax

Testament

Motley Crue

Opeth

Dream Theater

Sepultura

Tool

Nine Inch Nails

 

I'm sure I'm forgetting lots.

I didn't know we could add categories, otherwise I would've added Power Metal (like you did), Progressive Metal, Technical Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal and Black Metal. But I think most people on MCF won't know or won't care about such music anyway. [laugh]

[:p] Metal has a very wide category. So i will always split them up (since most ppl thought metal = heavy metal) coz the music they play are rather distinct from one another. Ya, guess only hard rock is the max most ppl can accept. Metal is not really friendly to the ears (or brains) of most listeners here.

For lao uncle like me, I find it more meaningful to classify them by era rather than genre. I listen mostly classical music from the late 60's and early 70's, hence the greatest all time rockers are from this era

 

Late 60's-early 70's era, greatest all time rock for me

Led Zeppelin,

Jimi Hendrix,

Deep Purple,

Black Sabbath

Beatles,

Rolling Stones

 

 

Stretch a little to late 70's to early 80's

Pink floyd,

AC/DC (til 90's)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Metallica (til 90's)
