Have you ever let someone look at your IPOD and have them say, "You have this song on there? How embarrassing." I think we all have and it had to be one of these songs on this list.

If you don't own all these albums head to your record store now!

Most rock bands pride themselves on their music and their look. We all hear their music on the radio...now let's rate their looks. 2009 has seen many many new acts, and many comebacks. Not only are these rockers/bands/frontmen/frontwomen sexy, but they are truly among the most talented of our generation. 2009 has seen the growth of the rock music industry, bringing indie acts to the top of our hit lists. These artists have broken through barriers that have never been shot down and have proven and will continue to prove that they are forces to be reckoned with. If their voices do not make you smile and/or quiver, there is a serious problem and you should get your ears checked, STAT.

"Here's to the guys who have influenced my crazed approach to the instrument... shrinking wallflowers or purveyors of non-descript dull thud's? Not these gentlemen!!! In no particular order..." John Gallagher, bass player from the legendary metal band Raven, talks about his Top 9 bass-playing influences with Ranker.com in the midst of his newest release with the band. From The Who to Cheap Trick, his influences run deep. See who influenced one of metal's greatest bass players, only on Ranker.

I was inspired by, and took most of my entries from, Clark Benson's list of 500, but he didn't have enough female artists for my tastes, nor did he have them rated highly enough. He excluded Blues and Jazz (except he has some artists who could be classified as Blues or Jazz on his list), so I did, too. However, I clearly like hip hop more than he does, so I had to add more of that, too. I haven't ranked the artists, and the list is in very rough order, because I'm new at this whole thing.

The best bands. Ever. A mix of my opinion, that of critic's lists, and that of many other people on this site as well as my friends and family's favorite bands too. Bands are rated on how influential and skilled they are, and how good their songs are.

Top 500 Rock Bands isn't 100% accurate as this includes solo artists, and though it does not include jazz or blues it does include soul, R&B, Americana, reggae, and classic country (yes, that is somewhat arbitrary, but for whatever reason i listen to blues and jazz differently than the rest, and would be too hard to compare Miles or Ornette or Hooker to, say, Aerosmith). Criteria for my greatest bands of all time list is a combination of recorded albums, live shows I've seen, live recordings I've heard, radio songs, and even overall image/album covers/general coolness or uniqueness. I guess that was a way of trying to explain that the ranking is just a gut feeling. But it's probably about 50% based on "live chops", hence the lower ranking of the Beatles, who quit playing live before the most creative parts of their career. I am very into live shows and live recordings. Obviously, this list will change over time. I'm adding commentary to items whenever i get a spare minute or something interesting comes to mind about a band, probably 10-20 entries a month.

Austin City Limits Music Festival 2009! Last year's ACL was a blast. What a fantastic event! Great musicians...what a lineup ACL 2009 had! The ACL Music Fest took place in October for the first time due to increased chance of rain, and the reduced chance of booking bands on summer tour said to be due to the UT football weekends. But something as great as ACL 2009, lineup that amazing, could only happen in Austin, Texas- such organized chaos with the rain and relentless mud!
