Subject: Top Ten Bands
Without incorporating sentimentalism into the equation, the top ten list of all time greatest bands would look like this (but I am loath to rank them):
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
The Who
The Kinks
The Guess Who
Led Zeppelin
Dire Straits
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Cream
The Beach Boys
ANyone inclined to include Guns and Roses should be checked for mental disability, and the Airplane are a noise.

Finally someone with the good sense to include Cream, CCR & The Beach Boys. If you drop Dire Straits and substitute Steely Dan or the Eagles, your work would appear to be done.

Dire Straits? I like them but maybe the top 100 would be more appropriate. I never cared much for the Kinks. Although I'm not a fan, the Velvet Underground have been very influential from a pure aesthetic viewpoint. Personally my favorites are mostly individuals as opposed to bands.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned The Doors. They're definitely top ten. Dire Straits would be about #29, tops. The Dans of Steely deserve high accolades & honoUr (I'll let ya'll know if the new CD's any good). Begrudgingly would I give the Beach Boys top ten, gotta give Brian Wilson, Pet Sounds, Good Vibs their due, even if they ripped off Chuck Berry's Sweet Little 16 to make Surfin' USA. I was going to argue that Cream didn't belong because they didn't stay together that long, but when I think of all their songs that have become staples of Classic Rock stations, they seem like viable candidates. The Airplane had Somebody To Love, White Rabbit, & Lather. Volenteers of America is pretty nauseating.
Suppose I'd blow my credibility to put Badfinger in there?
nevermind.

Writer's credit for Surfin' USA has always been given to Chuck Berry

Thanks for straightening me out on that. Glad I didn't totally trash the boys.

what about Boston? Allman Brothers? Nice to see those who ranked Steely Dan.
Peace In

Replace Dire Straits with Queen, and add the Doors and you've got my top ten. (Doesn't BC also include these two as faves?)
I know it makes 11, and I almost deleted the Kinks, but Low Budget was playing in the background, and I just couldn't.
I'm glad you chose not to rank them. Each of the bands are unique and the best in their realm.

I figured one of the Canadians around here would want Rush thrown into the list.

Rush has got to be one of the most over-rated Canadian bands ever. Maybe it was their timing on the scene, but I find them very repetitive and an example of generic arena rock.
