1. Led Zeppelin......none better. Could play everything.

2. ZZ Top......Hendrix said Gibbons was the best guitarist. Have seen ZZ Top multiple times before they went “Nationwide”. Beaumont, Texas made ZZ Top popular and they were from Spring. They would play Knights of Columbus on Friday night and The Townhouse in Groves on Saturday night...i would go to both if I had the money.....$1.25.....lol

3. Aerosmith.....Joe Perry taught himself how to play guitar

4. Van Halen......love the energy

5. Audioslave........ “Like a Stone “ and “ Number One Zero “

6. Santana......”Abraxas” is a must have for any collection.

7. Cream......liked early Clapton....Clapton, Page, and Beck all played with the Yardbirds at one time or another. ( showing my age)

8. Deep Purple....”Machine Head” another must have.....Ritchie Blackmore is unbelievable.

9. AC/DC.....the four chord group, but gosh could he play those four chords. Watch the video for Thunderstruck live in Germany.

10. Alice Cooper......”Love it to Death” had some very great music mixed with Alice’s shock rock. Saw them at Hoffheinz Pavillion in Houston. Took my high school sweetheart. She loved it....very theatrical.

After number 1 & 2, you can mix and match any of the rest as there is no specific order. I still listen to them all. I am bery picky about country music as I don’t think they play country today. If I want country, I will listen to some Merle Haggard or George Strait. The only music station I can stand today is 92.5 fm.

Well, there are more, but you said ten, so there they are.

Love ZZ, saw them for the first time when they were opening for Hendrix. Was an amazing concert!

That’s tough, especially since my playlist is all over the place.  Merle, Conway, George Jones, Bob Seger, The Eagles, Chris Stapleton, Motley Crue, just to name a few.  I also have some bluegrass thrown in there.  Love hearing good banjo playing!  

 

All good picks. Try the Dead if you never have, it's country, rock, blues, and bluegrass together. Heck Garcia was a banjo player before he picked up the guitar.

Just listened to Riviera Paradise for first time. You guitar guys should check out Joe Bonamassa. He was in the diabetes commercial with BB King when he was a kid.

There's also a young band named Greta Van Fleet, they sound alot like led Zeppelin.

Another band that sounds like a modern Zeppelin is Wolfmother.

Saw Bonamassa at one of Clapton's Crossroads. I highly recommend him as well if you're a guitar guy.

If anyone is on pandora, there is a feature to share playlists. Hit me up and maybe I'll share.

Also this would be a great place to post new music for others to hear. Just not sure how "forum rules" would apply to explicit lyrics or other references that could be deemed offensive. @WOSgrad???

Good question.

Love Knopfler’s music. I used to have his Martin Guitar Signature Edition. Wish I never sold it. 

I've got a solo album of his floating around somewhere that I put on occasionally. Who would be the 10 you couldn't live without?

Dont get me wrong, I like the beatles, just cant listen to them anymore.

The Grateful Dead isn't for me, and I dont recall Howlin Wolf.

UGK is actually from Port Arthur. Most of there music was mid 90s til like 2010 when Pimp C passed. But his brother Bun B still holds it down.

If you like Zeppelin then you might like early Dead. Before PigPen died they were more bluesy. Try St. Steven on the Live album from 69.

Completely understand about not being able to listen after a girl.

You need to look up Howlin Wolf if you like the Blues at all. He was also a big influence on the Stones and other early Rock and Rollers. Thanks for the info on UGK, I'll definitely have to look them up now that I know they're local. 

Everyone should be able to get along on this thread right? 😎

@Reagan @5GallonBucket @Realville Who is y'all's picks? 

@Hagar @baddog @BS Wildcats @stevenash @AggiesAreWe @WOSgrad @Mr. Buddy Garrity @UT alum @Big girl @BLUEDOVE3 Who is y'all's bands?

Now were talking. Great idea. I can agree with half of your list. My ex ruined most of the beatles for me, but Ringo changed drumming forever and that has to be worth something. I can't narrow all the music I listen to down to 10 bands. So I'll focus on a few different genres...

Rap... UGK, Scarface, Eminem, 2pac, Bone Thugs. And I'm also a screw head

Classic rock... Led Zeppelin, Clapton, ZZ Top, Hendrix, Blind Faith (only one album but it is deep, check it out if you haven't heard it)

Modern rock... 311, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, Pearl Jam

Country... Willie Nelson, Randy Travis, Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown Band 

 

Yea I know it's kinda all over the place. I've been listening to Phil Collins tonight at work. Just depends on the mood and the atmosphere. 

Who do you not like on mine besides the Beatles? Not a big Rap guy but I've listened to all of those but UGK. What era of Rap is UGK from and where?

Priceless album 

Have you seen the fold out? Looks like the most legendary Mexican food you could get! Heck of a spread. 

Just now, SmashMouth said:

Exactly. 

It's hard to narrow it down, but I've had this discussion with friends and family many times. Just 10 is tough.

Some great choices in there! Love ZZ Top, just listened to the Tres Hombres album yesterday.

I’m a guitar guy too, hence the Van Halen inclusion. Stevie Ray’s Lenny & Riviera Paradise instrumentals are awesome. Mark Knopfler another I really enjoy. 

+1

Everyone of those are awesome picks. Led Zeppelin is probably my number one with Pink Floyd number 2. But I love me some good ole southern rock too. Allman Bros, Skynyrd, Blackfoot. And then there’s Van Halen. I love old Van Halen. Plus you gotta have early RUSH in there (listen to the Necromancer). But man I’d have a hard time with a top 10. Last night by the campfire, I listened to everything from Merle Haggard, Zeppelin, Dr. John, Black Sabbath,  the Temptations to 2LiveCrew to DaBaby. I really like all genres. Classic Rock is possibly my mainstay, but it really depends on what I’m in the mood for. 

I'd argue that RUSH is good all the time.
