You best not be dissing on Winger. Of any pop-metal '80s band, Winger has scary members: Kip Winger has a degree in music composition; Reb Beach was one of the most in-demand session rock guitar players, prior to forming the band; and Rod Morgenstein is a MONSTER jazz fusion drummer. Like the music or not, but the musical weaponery in the group is unreal.

Wow, you know next to nothing about some of these bands. Guitar swing? Reb NEVER did/does that. And a payday? Is this why they continue to release records knowing they'll only maybe sell 15,000 copies or some shit? Tour small club-like venues? It's 20 years past that scene and they are still passionate about writing music together. For what? Big cash? YEAH, RIGHT.
And Journey is the Neal Schon show, whether anyone wants to believe it or not. He's a true musician who has crazy passion for all his music, Journey/solo/otherwise. Same with the cats who go through Journey's ranks.
Won't comment on TOTO because, although I know they're a group of sessions players, I don't know too much about their motivations. Steve Lukather is a beast player, though. As are the core members.

I'm not above being corrected about something. I knew of them back in the day and they were a session band put together to cash in on the hair metal bullshit. And I distinctly remember Kip Winger doing that gay shit with his guitar where he swings it around his body, I'm sorry I didn't point out exactly which member did it.
that being said, I always thought their music was pretty complex and intricate... for what it was. it was pretty obvious they could play. I wasn't aware that they stuck it out all these years... Good for them, it gives me a newfound respect for them.
And I never said Neal Schon wasn't a talented musician or didn't take music seriously... I said he was a studio guy that put together a band. Your comments basically confirm exactly what I said. I don't know why are you are arguing with me
Same with Zep.

Kip never has/does swing his bass around his body. In ONE video from way, way back he lifts it up in front of himself while doing a slinkly rock god move. They were never "put together", either. Reb and Kip met each other at a session, hit it off and decided to attempt to write some material, together. Kip had some stuff, already, and Reb dug it and they kept at it. Then they figured they needed a drummer, etc. to bring the sessions to life.
Schon was never a studio guy. He was part of a backing band that Herbie Herbert used to pimp out in the Bay Area of San Francisco. Eventually Neal took the reigns and decided to just round it out and make a go of their own stuff. The first three records without Perry did zip, commercially. As another has said, Neal Schon began his pro music career life at 15 as a member of Santana's band. He was being courted by both Santana and Eric Clapton for his Derek and the Dominos project. He chose Santana because Eric was in the throes of his addictions.

Interesting. Neal, to me, possesses incredible feel and articulation, and he is one of the greatest lyrical soloists I've ever heard. As far as his tone, well, that's so very subjective, so fair enough.

over 30 songs including,
Nothing man
Hail hail
Even flow
Rats
Immortality
State of love and trust
Once
Given to fly
Better man

Pearl Jam used to make great music. They always put on a phenomenal live show. But over the past 10 years or more thir music lost all of its flow. Vedder got less creative and more preachy.

Iron Maiden without a doubt, true classics.

Have to mention Deep Purple and Zeppelin!
For sure...when younger I really liked Zep but now I really appreciate Purple....with age comes the ability to slow down and even listen to Procol Harum, haha.

Doesn't really change anything, a lot of 80s bands have released new stuff. Its just not that relevant anymore. They had their time and its over, has been for a long time. They're British Bon Jovi is all, face it, buddy.

Don't get me wrong, I really dug them in the 80s. In fact, Pyromania was one of the first cassettes I ever owned, and I played the shit out of it. Even saw them live when I was in high school. But to put them up there with the legends, or any of the hair bands for that matter, is just outrageous.
I liked a lot of silly hair bands back then; in hindsight, though, I had questionable taste.

Yes, definitely a guilty pleasure, though some of it I'd actually consider good (Crue, Faster Pussycat, Skid Row come to mind). But the real rockers were listening to Maiden and Metallica back then. I didn't catch up 'til later.

Brown metal? Mariachi headbangers?
-
Shock, I actually saw Slayer in the early 80s, before I was even into rock really. Some chick took me to it on a date. Her brother played drums for the opening band, which was kind of a hair metal outfit. Then Slayer came on and people went nuts, scared the shit outta me. They covered Number of the Beast by Maiiden and I was convinced they were devil worshipers. Ha. I definitely wasn't ready for that shit.
This was in La Puente, CA in maybe '82/'83 at a Knights of Columbus Hall. Just a weekend gig for an up and coming LA band. I would have been so into it if it were 20 years later, but I was a f'n dork back then.

It's hard to name 3, but KISS is one of the worst bands musically ever. The fact they've sold over 100 million albums is a testament to how gimmicks can work,..if driven enough.
Metallica is pretty strong their first 5 albums, Floyd, Pantera, Muse, Sting, list goes on and on.
In the end, it's subjective...except for KISS...worst band ever.

Easy.
What impresses me most about the clip you posted is the way the guitarists sing the backing vocals without moving their lips. Very impressive.

Pain of Salvation
Redemption
Opeth

Def Leppard writes catchy rock pop tunes that they think will sell.
other bands like Zep,Beatles...write what they want to write sometimes regardless of what will sell or has mass appeal.

Sarcasm = the lowest form of wit. You can laugh all you want about Def Leppard, but I find their music way more exciting and uplifting than The Black Crows' and most other rock bands. It's not their fault that by the end of the 1980s almost every American "hair metal" band had stolen their sound. Ask Brian May what he thinks of Def Leppard and also ask Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga what they think of them.
"Lyrically they write terrific songs, they have great hooks, great melodies. I think most other bands would love to do Leppard cast-offs if they could."
Steve Rosen, American music journalist
"They are regarded rightfully so as one of the key acts to come out of the eighties".
Eddie Trunk, American DJ/presenter
-
You have to look at the band's complete body of work, not just a few songs, or an album. With that in mind, no other ROCK band can hang with this:

"They are regarded rightfully so as one of the key acts to come out of the eighties".
Eddie Trunk, American DJ/presenter
Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift used as support your opinion in a rock thread? Yikes!

1. Rush

3. Kiss
Zeppelin isn't even in the top 10. Fuck them.

I hate both but I used their names to prove that Def Leppard are influencing newer artists.

You have to look at the band's complete body of work, not just a few songs, or an album. With that in mind, no other ROCK band can hang with this:

Love Zepp, one of the greatest ever......but they did crib, copy and steal a ton of shit.

I actually like, more past tense, Def Leppard in the 80's but they fell off completely in the 90's. Still enjoy the old stuff. Never really thought if them as a big influence on the other 80's bands but who knows. A band that I liked in the early 80's, Quiet Riot, never gets any credit.

Pet shop Boys.
Depeche Mode
Duran Duran/ the Cure.
Wooosssshhhhhhhhhh

How anyone can include Radiohead in this is beyond me. They're not even rock and they are one of the worst sounding bands of all time IMO.
-
For modern rock bands I'd have to say The Red Hot Chili Peppers are the best.

The Bends is a great album, but it's the only one of theirs I would consider an all-time classic.
IMO the best rock band of the 90's is Tool.

point taken, but becker and baxter could lay down some mean riffs 8)

Best Rock band of the 2000's
Coheed and Cambria

Ok computer and in rainbows are ridiculous as well.....IMO
You gotta wrap your head around KidA a littke bit...but it was awarded "best album of the DECADE" by Rolling Stone msgazine for the 2000s. That's decade.not year...LOL.
Their latest King of Limbs is excellent...not too many Bands that are still intact and still ceative after 20 years.
And Yeah if we are throwing out bands like Motorhead and Deep Purple.....Soundgarden is in their league all day.
You know your music..I would bet 95% of this board hasn't heard a single track off "The Bends" ...and they will say Radiohead doesn't Rock...that album is all guitar.
-
Hell I didn't even know that...what did it sell.....200 copies ? LOL
600k in the U.S. and 3 million worldwide.
I actually quite enjoyed that album, some really, really great stuff on it but there are some clunkers.

Cornell does have one of the best voices in Rock! Soundgarden and Alice in Chains are the two best bands to come out of Seattle in my opinion. Can't leave out Layne Staley's haunting vocals!

This. Nirvana sucked ass by comparison.

The 90s was a great decade for rock. So many to mention, but yeah, Tool would be up near the top of that list, for sure.

He still sounds great:

radio head blow
bunch of spoiled rich kids
writing a bunch of pretentious crap

worse band ever

Anyone who doesn't appreciate Radiohead (especially OK Comp, and The Bends) as being complete genius needs a new set of ears.
Paranoid Android is probably my favourite 'rock' song, and when that riff breaks out at the end it's glorious.

In the same way that Donny didn't wear boxers for years, because underwear was a thing of beauty, only to be admired from afar/within a bush on a washing line.

Myles has a great voice! Like him best with Alterbridge, Slash took him out on tour, heard him doing G&R and Velvet Revolver stuff, he sounded good! Liked Weiland the best with Velvet Revolver!

Anastasia is an absolutely immense song but this is one hell of a performance. The whole show was incredible.
