Definitely!! Some of them could have been higher like Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young or Yes or Black Sabbath etc. But really, they are all great! And Pink Floyd is second which is fantastic. There’s no arguing that The Beatles, Zeppelin, and Floyd should be in the top three.

yep that looks great to me

No Doors? Boo that.

Any list where the Beatles aren’t #1 is wrong. It’s the Beatles, then the Stones and then Zeppelin. The rest of the list is up for debate.
And I’m not sure how Weezer, Rage, Motorhead and numerous others on your list can be considered Classic Rock. And if you are gonna include singer song writers, Bob Dylan shoots to the top 5.

This is an excelent list. I actually recognize every band here and agree 95% of the time with the order, but you have to REMOVE Nickleback! The other guy’s right about it not being an exclusively, quote on quote clasic rock list, but **** him. And again, no Doors?
And one question man, where the heck is Judas Preist?

3 doors down is on the list, and incubus isn’t?
