The Doors were active from 1965 to 1973, a short eight-year run, but quickly became one of the most influential bands of the counter-culture era and a largely controversial band due to Jim Morrison’s erratic behavior. Every decade has had a revival in interest in the band and new fans added, due to cover songs becoming popular, usage of their songs in hit movies, movies about them, etc. Their first album The Doors re-entered the Billboard charts 14 years after its initial release as did their...

We can’t really put into words the impact Metallica has had on metal and hard rock since their formation in 1981 in Los Angeles. Founding members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich have kept the band relevant, and, along with current members Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo (and previous members Jason Newsted, Cliff Burton, Ron McGovney, and David Mustaine) have crafted a sound that is both aggressive and melodic. It is no wonder they have attracted legions of dedicated fans across the globe. You...

U2 formed as a crew of friends in secondary school in Dublin, Ireland before any of them had any real proficiencies with music. Within four years they scored a record deal. By their fifth album, they became a global sensation. At the present, they’ve won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band, period. Part of their success is every time they run into controversy or boredom from their fan base, they evolve and revolutionize their sound. They’re huge experimenters, and The Edge really exemp...

The Eagles had a 9-year run starting in 1971 (though they recently made a return!) and made a lasting impact in that time. Like Pink Floyd, their album singles all did “okay” but never great, but they were so consistently good that they now hold the 1st and 3rd spots on the list for most albums sold, with the big one being their greatest hits record. In 1994, the band got back together and quickly dropped an album of new material and live music, released a documentary, and embarked on an exte...

Queen already earned their slot on this list but lately, they’re gaining even more ground. Since 1970 they’ve not stopped touring and creating new music, albeit with new vocalists since Freddie Mercury passed. They may be Queen but they’re the kings of arena rock, with songs that are as overplayed today as they were immediately following their release! (We kid because we love!) If you’ve been to a sporting event, you’ve undoubtedly heard their anthems chanted by those in attendance to intimid...

The Beach Boys rode the wave of the California Sound of surf rock and then evolved into more personal themes as their fan base also matured. Their music’s orchestrations and arrangements became so complex that, like the Moody Blues, they couldn’t perform it faithfully live onstage. Their vocal harmonies were recorded in one take early on and are absolute perfection that few achieve today. They’re one of the few bands that found success before the British Invasion and maintained it during and...

Part of reaching a wide audience is having a wide appeal. Led Zeppelin played music in the blues-rock and folk-rock genres but are also thought of as progenitors of heavy metal, too. Possibly the most influential and popular song in rock history is their single Stairway to Heaven. These guys did it big, every time. The concerts broke records for people in attendance. Their albums rank among the top-selling ever. Each of their nine total albums reached the top 10 and six reached the number-one...

Even with their early releases led by Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd was already making their mark on the British rock scene. Later, when David Gilmour joined the band and took over the creative direction they gained international recognition. Four of their albums topped both the US and UK charts, though only two of their singles ever reached the top 10 in either region. In a six-decade career, they’ve released 15 albums and toured to support each release. They even composed film scores for some les...

The Rolling Stones are such a big deal that even the members’ solo careers, like that of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, are just as big. They got started in 1962 and were at the forefront of the British Invasion. Of the top 5 highest-grossing tours, four of them belong to this band. Part of their success is attributed to them staying true to the safe foundational genres like R&B, soul, and rock. They even recently won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album. Consistency is key when p...

The Beatles had a short run of only 10 years from 1960 to 1970, but they’re still the best-selling artists of all timeby far. If you were to add in their solo albums and side groups, they’ll hold that record forever. They started young and led the British Invasion of pop and rock into the USA, and their fans grew up alongside them, purchasing each album as time went on. These guys won all the awards, starred in and produced movies, and even hold records like having the most covered song of al...
