In terms of rock, I'd say The Rolling Stones,Led Zeppelin,The Who, and AC/DC. There are a ton of great rock bands, but those would be on my list as the top.

Actually the majority of Velvet Revolver was spawned from Guns 'N' Roses and only the singer is from Soundgarden (Scott Weiland I believe.Plus I think he has been kicked out and went back to Soundgarden).No one from RATM that I know of.Also note the usage of the word "new".

I don't see how AC DC is great....Sweet, same album 17 times.

Anyways, I would pick someone like King Crimson or Frank Zappa just due to the amount of progression there.

Guns N' Roses would be my favorite. Greatest in terms of influence it would be Chuck Berry, The Beatles, The Stones, and Zeppelin.

They were great up until Bon Scott died, his sense of humor really made the band IMO.

Yeah I kinda agree with ya. Thats why I dont listen to anything metallica after the black album. I dont really care for mega deth although there best song imo is peace sells which is an excellent song. I still think metallica are better than megadeth. Although I wonder how metallica would have been with dave instead of kirk. Oh well. I guess we would have never had megadeth if dave dident get kicked out.

Just saying that this may lead to a long winded argument or discussion according to the way he has worded it.I'm all for hearing opinions.

I could never get into the Who. There's a couple of songs on Tommy, Who's Next and The Who Sell Out that I like but the albums are pretty hit and miss for me. They're a band I respect for their influence but I don't particualrly like.

Fair enough. I actually think The Who Sell Out is their greatest along with Who's Next, strangely overlooked album...

BTW, is your name taken from the Love album Forever Changes? I really need to get that album...

Yeah, it's from the Love album. You should get it by the way - you'll be a better peson for it.:)

Although I'm not a Who fan, I have to agree with you on "The Who Sell Out".
