Van Halen has been mentioned,,but we owe Eddy a great deal,,,he saved us from disco and brought us back to guitar oriented music,,,
Agree with JourneyBear in post 5: longevity, legacy should certainly count. Also agree with post 6 that these lists may often be subjective.

What the - ? How did a five-year-old thread get resurrected? Someone's got some 'splainin' to do!

Hi this is in my rock post. Not sure how. So sorry if my remark is out of place. It shows in a e-mail for Rock music and here is the thread.

Oh, I'm not tweaking you. I see now it's someone new, Dan99999, who bumped up this thread and also a couple others. Well, a discussion often has a second or third life (or more) as new participants join in. Actually, one other, The Greatest, has one of my favorite personal posts, in which I channeled Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner. I'd forgotten that. A good bit of fun, there. Nice to revisit.

Well, of course! What intelligent person with good taste doesn't?

Oh, I'm kidding! (Mostly.) Ah, the brain cells donated to the ether while listening to Yes and Gentle Giant during college. Wish I had some of them back ...

Yes is a band well ahead of their time..I saw them in 1978 , incredible show,,with Ted Nugent opening ....
Yes is my all time favorite band (other than the Beatles, in a class by themselves).
Yes played "the music of the future" - unfortunately THAT particular future never arrived.
They also did not fit the cynical materialism and pseudo-blues orthodoxy Rolling Stone mag loves.
David,,,do remember a jam they always used to do? Called 'wurm'..Howes playing was awesome....
David,,,super thanks! ..the live version is great also.....
Thanks JourneyBear for not tweaking me. As for this discussion, it's fun. Agree with posts on Yes, now I am going to go and put some Yes on my pod and play. Then it's practice for Monday's performance, obviously no rock for the seniors.

As a good SA citizen I have to mention Trevor Raven, the SA connection to the band Yes. Played owner of a lonely heart loudly on my earphones, probably not the wisest thing to do. So did not subject my ears to the music for too long. The version I have of that song is live. It has a wonderful arpeggio section starting on a minor then d minor before the bass kicks back in with the drums. A little solo I think may be performed pretty well on mandola. Perhaps playing near the bridge? Well that's my final two cents worth.

Me again, as this is an old thread that was bumped up: is there a more recent list of the top 50 bands of all time. In cases where opinions may prove subjective, does this list change, or is it a static thing that only bands beyond a certain age and level of experience make this list? Just interested in other criteria. In previous posts some of us mentioned legacy, influence on the rock genre, etc.

I don't have time to read the whole thread. Did Husker Du and Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs make the top 50? If not, I'm cancelling my subscription!

No and no. FYI, the "Search Thread" function is very useful for settling such inquiries. Quick, too.
BTW, I have a lifetime subscription - they were selling those for $99 a dozen years ago. I've got no plans for cancelling that subscription.
