Here is a list of the top 50 greatest bands of all time. Warning: Do not look below unless you wish to know the order of the bands and the songs on the video. I have used Microsoft Excel to determine which bands deserved the spots. I used the following categories to place them in their correct order: -U.S. Sales (Out of 100) -Songs and Songwriting (Out of 100) -Technical Ability (Out of 100) -Innovation (Out of 100) -Live Performance (Out of 50) -Consistency (Out of 50) Idea & Template taken from: http://www.avrev.com/bands/ EDIT: Haha, I love some of the mean comments on here. I was hoping it would generate some good discussion. If you disagree with my list, I feel that making your own list would be a more reasonable way of showing it other than just sitting there and bashing mine. And trust me, if I made a list based on opinion, Metallica would NOT be in the top 10, probably switched with AC/DC. And System of a Down, Foo Fighters and Deep Purple would without a doubt be on there. Oh well. And to everyone out there who says this list sucks because one or two of your favorite bands weren't on here OR a band you happen to dislike was on here, get over yourself. People have different taste in music. Songs used: Intro: "The Final Countdown" by Europe 50. "Fight For Your Right" by The Beastie Boys 49. "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks 48.

"Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin Credits: "Through The Fire And Flames" by Dragonforce OH and to everyone who says that The Beatles should be number 1: While The Beatles were undoubtedly higher in U.S. Sales, Songwriting, and Innovation, they lacked the most in their Technical Ability, ranking a 79/100, while Led Zeppelin ranked a 98/100. Led Zeppelin also ranked higher in Live Performance and Consistency. So, if you were wondering how it was possible, there you go.
