i want to pointout that this is a list of ROCK AND ROLL bands not METAL ok? so no crap about the obvious leaving out of bands like Black Sabbath or Ozzy Osbourne or Metallica. I'm aware of their existence and will get around to them eventually. I'm also aware I probably left out alot of people but i made this in 3 minutes and 1 in the morning, probably will make another, updated one eventually. But I still think the top ten is great and am only afraid i left out an honorable mention, which i will fix the minute i realize it, or am pointed out to it.

Also i believe that some bands can be rock and metal. Prime example is Scorpions or Kiss or Alice Cooper. Just because a band has a metal song doesn't make them a metal band *coughheylin_princecough* ok?

*EDIT*i had this cool thing where each band (honorable mentions and all) had a link to one of their songs but stupid TV.com won't let me post them so, what are you gonna do? :)
