I am a commie bastard only according to mr.

You guys in Poland were happy to have at least SOME Western music. The first Beatles LPs were released in USSR in 1986, and I, a 13 years old boy, spent 3 hours in a cold March rain in a line to buy them... I am still proud that I have a Yugoslavian "Meddle" LP by Pink Floyd. It costed me enormous ammount of money in a black market.

I listened to Metallica in the early 80's when they weren't a household name.   They sold out starting with and Justice for all....after that I stopped cold turkey listening to them.   I only have pre And Justice stuff by them.

My fav. by them is Kill em all.

My fav is "Apeman"...

I don't wanna die in a nuclear war
I wanna sail away to a distant shore
And make like an apeman."

I love Zep...  but how on earth can you put them at the top of the vocals list AND leave the Beatles off (and Queen for that matter?)  Lennon/McCartney is probably the best vocal matching of any band, IMO.   Add into that the fact that George and Ringo could sing pretty damn well, and you've got the best vocals.

Vocals (in order)
Beatles
Queen
Beach Boys/The Mamas and The Papas (tie)
Simon and Garfunkel

Honorable Mention: Styx, Floyd, Who, Elvis, Jim Morrison

Now..... Neil Diamond !  He could have been a Beatle ! :)



 Ok normaly I wouldn't yell at a police officer, but since you're in Australia :D


 OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Metalica was the best band of the 80's period!!!!!  They inovated metal the same way the Beatles inovated rock n roll.  Though I agree about compairing them to the Beatles.  They really should be compaired to Bethoven or Mozart or the like.  As my proof I give you "Anesthesia", "Call of Katulu"  or "Orion"   that's just 3 instrumentals!  That doesn't include songs with words like "Master of Puppets", "Ride the Lightning","Fade to black", "Creeping Death" or "Four Horsemen" or any of their songs!    

 These guys actually took time to compose thier music!  Most of thier songs in the 80's were well over 5 minutes long which is why they never really got much radio play back then.   Yes,  they were "alcoholica's" and yes they partied and had long hair.  But they were NOT hippies!  They thought about every note they recorded back then!  Then Cliff died :(    Still a fan though :D

 Nobody mentioned Chicago!

 didn't see Rush

 also didn't see Primus

 I'd defenately have to add Glenn Miller

 my 2 favorites right now are POD and Puddle of Mud followed by Nickleback...


 You are all communist nazi's!!!!!

I seriously thought about mentioning Glenn Miller and Louis Armstrong.  (miles davis too).  Actually, they do influence some popular music, I mean swing was back in for a year or so.  ;)

Chicago is fantastic, but not in the top 5 of any category (except maybe best trombonist in a rock band!)

Rush is good too, but only should be in the top 5 for the best rhythm.  ;)

And send most of the rest to BB King (invented lead guitar as played in rock) and Robert Johnson.
