like your picks
Cream, best band to last 2 years or so, and they broke up because of a bad review in Rolling stone mag.
You don't like Band of Gyp.? I like them live better then the experience, yet they did have mitchell playing with them @ woodstock, but the all back trio was jimi's idea so I guess mitchell had to go 8)
Well I just can't pick a band to be the top, to many diff. styles, heck zeppelin had a diff. sound on each album, so they are you there on their own, so here is my list..
top bands in no order...
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath (1970-1980)
Iron Maiden (1980-1993)
Cream
Yardbirds (Clapton, Beck and Page)
Deep Purple
Jimi Hendrix (all his bands after 1966)
Pink Floyd
Rage Against the Machine
Ozzy (with randy, lee and some zakk)
