The gods of Rock/Metal....
 

I want you to make a list of the gods of Rock/Metal. Each list should contain certain levels. The artists should be leveled based on talent/influence.

Universal Echleons:

1. The Beatles
2. Led Zeppelin

Galaxy Echelons:

3. Black Sabbath
4. Pink Floyd
5. Iron Maiden
6. Genesis

Solar System Echelons:

7. Yes
8. Rush
9. Iron Maiden
10. The Who

Earth:

11. Metallica
12. Slayer
13. Judas Priest


The list is incomplete....but whatever.

Abandon your false idols! There is only one true god: Lemmy.

mmmmmmdiommmmmm :D

upper echelon:
the beatles
the stones
kim kardashian
the who
the clash

primordial demons of hell :- Slayer

Yeah!!!

And we need rock Gods too, starting with Bon Jovi.

Maybe blues gods too?

BB. King
Eric Clapton
Blind Lemon Jefferson!!!

Marc Bolan (T.Rex) is the true and only, God Of Rock and Metal.

Europe, Tommy Tutone, The Knack, Norman Greenbuam and Chumbawamba are forever tied to their only productive output in life...

Thus I dub them the Feudal Serfs of Rock.

We'll have that. No one can deny the ROCK. I've been listening to "Children of the Revolution" way too much in the last couple of years.

Enjoy!

The influence of this particular single influenced everything from Glam Rock..to 90s Grunge (Metal).

Marc Bolan did just as much with this single video and song, than David Bowie ever achieved with one song.

Another of my faves! I love that riff so much!

Click on the button which looks like a world with a paperclip below it. It will insert a hyperlink. And now you have 15 posts, you can do that.

Shame he died four years before MTV even existed. Then people might not ask "WHO?" every time Marc Bolan comes up in conversational context.

Odd to see Stones, Hendrix and Cream/Clapton missing. What about Van Halen? No one may like the flamboyant sunset striprock that ensued ... But they certainly popped it open.

As for Metallica, I might be biased, but I'm not sure they should be so low.

GnR?

Kuddos to Marc Bolan ref ... 20th Century Boy is an all time riff classic.

Universal Echleons:

1. Roxy Music
2. The Who
3. Pink Floyd

Galaxy Echelons:

3. Radiohead
4. The Rolling Stones
5. The Beatles
6. ELP

Solar System Echelons:

7. David Bowie
8. The Smiths
9. Led Zeppelin
10. Yes
11. The Arctic Monkeys

Earth:

11. Muse
12. Elvis Costello
13. Genesis
14. The Jam

Muse? Easily the best band ever to come out of Teignmouth, and better than any from nearby Exeter, so they can certainly be granted the status of "Devon Echelons", but earth? I think that's a bit like saying Hamilton Academical are one of the world's best football clubs. They bash up in Glasgow, but won't really be in the same sort of league as Barcelona.
