Howard, I would rank The Who and The Rolling Stones ahead of Aerosmith on your scale. As for the all time greatest rock band? Nirvana? Metallica? Amatuers. The only right answer is Led Zepplin.

Like rifle cartridges, the have been lots of great bands over the years. And like the 30-06, there is one band that stands above them all: The Rolling Stones.

As a product of the 80's and still a headbanger at heart, I have to go with Metallica too.
I love all music too much to really feel happy about having one fave though. All the suggestions so far are great bands (excluding Air Supply and Bay City Rollers )

You guys are all wrong..My vote goes to the only rock star that has his own hunting show on tuesday nights...High up in the NRA and a out spoken defender of our cause..
Ted's The Man
After all this is the "BIG GAME" conferance isn't it ??
One other side note about Metallica (since Ted was mentioned)....their lead singer James Hetfield is an avid hunter, and publicly supports gun ownership and hunting. Not to the extreme that Ted does of course, but it is nice to know he ain't an anti, like god only knows how many other entertainers!

Cool Guy, You needn't bother stalking Britney, I am way ahead of you in line. I was stalking her long before she dumped Justin. Nothing sounds better to me than taking ol' Britney hunting in Zimbabwe for a couple of weeks. Tough to hunt when you haven't been getting enough sleep though!

I can't believe that I screwed up this badly! My first response was a vote for The Who, but to my eternal shame I completely forgot about the greatest of the great Brit bands.
How many monster albums did this band produce over the years? Who doesn't have "Shark Sandwich" or "Intravenous DeMilo" in their collection? And has there ever been an album quite like "Break Like the Wind?"
Yes, I can only be talking about the often imitated but never duplicated,
SPINAL TAP!!!!!!!!!

Yep. That's right. And the greatest movie about rock music ever made is the Maysles Brothers' and Charlotte Zwerin's Gimme Shelter.

The origanal Allman Brothers Band,from when Brother Duane was still alive.This was pre-"Rambling Man",when they were a pedal to the metal rock band.Their epic live album,Live At Fillmore East,has such fantastic guitar playing on it by Duane Allman and Dickey Betts,one wonders why they never surpassed Jimi Hendrix in popularity.
Ok,my pics are- 1)The Allman Brothers Band 2)Derek&The Dominos (Clapton and Duane Allman) 3)Cream

"Ace of spades" by MoterHead "Cat scratch fever" by Ted Nugent "Talk dirty to me" by Poison "Panama" by Van Halen "You shook me all night long" by AC/DC "Slipping away" by Dokken (my favorite 80's band) "Love hurts" by Nazereth "Metal health" by Quiet Riot "Crazy train" by Ozzie Osbourne
And plenty of other 80's hard rock/heavy metal ~~~Suluuq
