Aerosmith

Led by vocalist Steven Tyler, Aerosmith is the most successful and most iconic American rock band. Formed in the early 1970's in Boston, the band incorporated roots, blues, pop, and hard rock to form a definite unique sound. When their songs came on the radio you knew it was Aerosmith. Joe Perry, the lead guitarist, is absolutely one of the greatest ever. With Tom Hamilton on bass, Joey Kramer on drums, and Ray Tabano on rhythm guitar, you can understand why Aerosmith sold so many records - 150 million to be exact.

My Favorite 10:

1. Dream on
2. Walk This Way
3. Sweet Emotion
4. Amazing
5. I Dont Want to Miss a Thing

10: Walk on Water

Guns N Roses

The hard rock band was formed in California during the mid 1980's. The band has had many members over the years and an ongoing conflict between the vocalist Axl Rose and the guitarist Slash. I like Guns N Roses because of the hard rock sound. The heavy guitar and the high pitched vocals that Axl provides are a fantastic combination. Eventually the band would break up and Slash would form his own band, but over the years the band named Guns N Roses has released 6 studio albums, selling over 100 million records.

My Favorite Ten:

1. Sweet Child O' Mine
2. Paradise City
3. Civil War
4. November Rain
5. There Was a Time
6. Estranged
7. My Michelle
8. Mr. Brownstone
9. Shackler's Revenge
10. Coma

Led Zeppelin


Led Zeppelin is my favorite band. The combination of hard rock and blues works so well, it gives them a particular sound. The sick guitar riffs that Jimmy Page adds and the singing and screaming of Robert Plant is a fantastic combination. John Bonham on the drums and John Paul Jones on the bass defiantly set a unique rhythm to their songs. The band who completed most of its work in the late 60's and 70's made nine studio albums, holding many well known tracks.

My Favorite Ten:
1. When the Levee Breaks
2. All My Love
3. Stairway to Heaven
4. Black Dog
5. Immigrant Song
6. Since I've Been Loving You
7. Whole Lotta Love
8. Kashmir
9. Going to California
10. Over the Hills and Far Away.
