Van Halen and
AC/DC were my favorite party bands up until the mid 80's, but they both went downhill after that.
Metallica are the gods of heavy metal.
Pink Floyd was the best of psychedelic rock.
You have to give
The Rolling Stones credit just for being around as long as they have been and still going strong. Seriously, it's a miracle Keith Richards is even alive!
Needless to say, we wouldn't even have 'Rock n Roll' if it wasn't for
Elvis or
The Beatles, but they were before my time. (
Imagine if John Lennon wasn't assassinated? They killed him because he was trying to teach us,
'All You Need Is Love'. Who knows, maybe we'd be living in a completely different kind of society today.)
