This is an argument that has been waged in bars, garages, and living rooms since rock 'n roll began: Who is the greatest rock band of all time?
Everyone has their opinions, but a group of experts has come together to determine the Top 5 rock bands of all time, and this list is according to science, y'all.
First, the list, we'll just get it out of the way.
Study Finds visited ten expert websites to determine that the Top 5 rock bands (according to science) are:
1 – The Beatles 2 – The Rolling Stones 3 – Queen 4 – Led Zeppelin 5 – Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Guitar Junky states: With voices like John Lennon and Paul McCartney, The Beatles captured the heart of many, but wouldn't have been able to do so had it not been for the presence of the equally-renowned George Harrison and Ringo Starr, two of the best instrumentalists who knew exactly what to do to bring out the best in the voices of Lennon and McCartney.
The Rolling Stones
Music Influence says: The fact that they remain one of the highest grossing concerts draws in existence, even with their members now well past the age of collecting social security checks, is a testament to more than just will power.
Queen
Freddie Mercury is probably the best singer of all time. His vocals are the perfect blend of operatic and rocking, and when it comes to his command of the stage and the crowd, well, nobody did it better, says Guitar Lobby, with The Top Tens adding, Queen reinvented music. There is no other way to put it.
Led Zeppelin
Guitar Lobby says: No band ever has had such a fanatical following, not even The Beatles. There was so much mystique, so many myths and anecdotes surrounding the band that they almost seemed like they were from another planet.
Pink Floyd One of the pioneers and most influential bands on ambient music, also commonly known as 'psychedelic' music, Pink Floyd remains as one of the greatest rock bands the 20th century has given us, says Guitar Junky.
