Sejarah Mesin Ketik

0 komentar
Mesin Ketik modern merupakan pengembangan dari yang pada awalnya diciptakan secara sederhana dan bertahap. Penemuan ini melibatkan penemu yang bekerja secara mandiri, baik secara perorangan maupun kelompok, yang menimbulkan persaingan antarpenemu selama beberapa dekade. Hal ini sama seperti penemuan telepon, di mana sejumlah orang saling memberikan kontribusi terhadap penemuan mesin ketik ini sehingga pada akhirnya menciptakan suatu produk komersil yang sukses.
Penemuan mesin ketik diawali pada tahun 1714, saat memperoleh hak paten karena menciptakan sebuah mesin yang menyerupai mesin ketik. Di samping itu muncul pula penemuan kertas karbon oleh Pellegrino Turri yang merupakan salah satu cikal bakal dari komponen mesin ketik.

Takdir Baik dan Takdir Buruk

Takdir Baik dan Takdir Buruk

Takdir ada dua jenis, yaitu Takdir yang Tidak bisa ditolak dan Takdir yang dapat kita tentukan dengan izin Allah SWT.
1. Takdir yang Tidak Bisa Ditolak (tidak bisa dipilih), contohnya adalah: kita lahir menjadi manusia (bukan binatang atau tumbuhan) kita lahir di negara Indonesia, dilahirkan dari turunan / sepasang ayah-ibu yg mempunyai sikap, sifat, status sosial, ekonomi  dan lainnya dan tak bisa diubah, takdir kematian seseorang pada saatnya nanti dan masih banyak lainnya.
2. Takdir yang Bisa Diterima atau Ditolak oleh manusia dengan izin Allah (takdir yang bisa dipilih), Layaknya pengambilan keputusan dalam hidup. Contohnya adalah: memilih pekerjaan, memilih pasangan hidup, memilih barang yang akan dipakai dan sejenisnya. Juga, memilih menghindari dari suatu hal yang buruk, tidak sesuai dengan kemauan. Atau menghindari sesuatu yang berbahaya, karena semua hal di dunia ini pasti memiliki resiko yang seharusnya orang tersebut sudah memikirkannya dengan masak-masak dan memang dapat saja terjadi pada dirinya sendiri suatu saat nanti akibat keputusannya tersebut. Dan resiko BAIK atau BURUK itu harus dipikul oleh yang bersangkutan itu sendiri.
Contoh Kisah:
Pada masa lalu, sahabat Rasullulah yaitu Syaidina Umar sering berceramah dan berkhotbah di beberapa kota di Jazirah Arab. Pada suatu ketika, Beliau akan berkhotbah menyebarkan agama Allah di sebuah kota yang tiba-tiba dikabarkan oleh salah satu murid beliau, bahwa di kota tersebut sedang terjadi wabah penyakit menular.
Kemudian Beliau mengurungkan niatnya untuk berkhotbah ke kota tersebut. Dan berencana untuk melanjutkan khotbahnya di kota lainnya.
Dengan mengambil keputusan seperti itu, salah satu muridnya bertanya, “Mengapa engkau tidak mau ke kota itu?
Apakah kau takut jika ditakdirkan Allah SWT nantinya terserang juga oleh wabah penyakit menular disana?”, tanya sang murid.
Syaidina Umar pun lalu tersenyum, kemudian beliau menjawab “Saya tidak pernah takut dengan takdir Allah SWT yang akan diberikan kepadaku”, jawabnya.
“Tetapi, aku menghindari takdir Allah SWT untuk tertular wabah penyakit menular tersebut…. dan aku akan mengambil takdir Allah SWT yang lain….”, jelasnya.
Artinya, walaupun kita tak tau perjalanan hidup kita ke depan nanti, namun paling tidak kita harus dapat mengambil keputusan mana yang lebih baik bagi diri kita sendiri dan harus menerima resikonya atas apa yang akan terjadi di kemudian hari dengan keputusan kita itu…, apapun resikonya.
Lalu, sang khalifah itupun mengurungkan niatnya ke kota tersebut dan mengubah arah rombongannya, kemudian melanjutkan perjalanan berkhotbah ke kota lainnya, dengan takdir yang lainnya, apapun resikonya.

Modern Science Membuktikan Bahwa Tuhan itu Ada!

0 komentar



Benar kiranya jika Al Qur’an disebut sebagai mukjizat?. Bagaimana tidak, ternyata ayat-ayat Al Qur’an yang diturunkan di abad ke 7 masehi di mana ilmu pengetahuan belum berkembang (saat itu orang mengira bumi itu rata dan matahari mengelilingi bumi), sesuai dengan ilmu pengetahuan modern yang baru-baru ini ditemukan oleh manusia.
*
Teori “BING-BANG”

Saat dulu, orang tidak ada yang tahu bahwa langit dan bumi itu awalnya satu.
Ternyata ilmu pengetahuan modern seperti teori Big Bang menyatakan bahwa alam semesta (bumi dan langit) itu dulunya satu, dari “tiada” menjadi “ada”. Kemudian akhirnya pecah menjadi sekarang ini.
Sebagai contoh ayat di bawah:
“Dan apakah orang-orang yang kafir tidak mengetahui bahwasanya langit dan bumi itu keduanya dahulu adalah suatu yang padu, kemudian Kami pisahkan antara keduanya. Dan dari air Kami jadikan segala sesuatu yang hidup. Maka mengapakah mereka tiada juga beriman?” [Al Anbiyaa:30]
Kemudian ternyata benar segala yang bernyawa, termasuk tumbuhan bersel satu pasti mengandung air dan juga membutuhkan air. Keberadaan air adalah satu indikasi adanya kehidupan di suatu planet. Tanpa air, mustahil ada kehidupan. Inilah satu kebenaran ayat Al Qur’an.
Tatkala merujuk kepada matahari dan bulan di dalam Al Qur’an, ditegaskan bahwa masing-masing bergerak dalam orbit atau garis edar tertentu.
“Dan Dialah yang telah menciptakan malam dan siang, matahari dan bulan.matahari dan garis edarnya Masing-masing dari keduanya itu beredar di dalam garis edarnya.” (Al Qur’an, 21:33)
Disebutkan pula dalam ayat yang lain bahwa matahari tidaklah diam, tetapi bergerak dalam garis edar tertentu:
“Dan matahari berjalan di tempat peredarannya. Demikianlah ketetapan Yang Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Mengetahui.” (Al Qur’an, 36:38)
*
Langit yang mengembang (Expanding Universe)
Dalam Al Qur’an, yang diturunkan 14 abad silam di saat ilmu astronomi masih terbelakang, mengembangnya alam semesta digambarkan sebagaimana berikut ini:
“Dan langit itu Kami bangun dengan kekuasaan (Kami) dan sesungguhnya Kami benar-benar meluaskannya.” (Al Qur’an, 51:47)
Menurut Al Qur’an langit diluaskan/mengembang. Dan inilah kesimpulan yang dicapai ilmu pengetahuan masa kini.
Sejak terjadinya peristiwa Big Bang, alam semesta telah mengembang secara terus-menerus dengan kecepatan maha dahsyat. Para ilmuwan menyamakan peristiwa mengembangnya alam semesta dengan permukaan balon yang sedang ditiup.
Hingga awal abad ke-20, satu-satunya pandangan yang umumnya diyakini di dunia ilmu pengetahuan adalah bahwa alam semesta bersifat tetap dan telah ada sejak dahulu kala tanpa permulaan. Namun, penelitian, pengamatan, dan perhitungan yang dilakukan dengan teknologi modern, mengungkapkan bahwa alam semesta sesungguhnya memiliki permulaan, dan ia terus-menerus “mengembang”.
Pada awal abad ke-20, fisikawan Rusia, Alexander Friedmann, dan ahli kosmologi Belgia, George Lemaitre, secara teoritis menghitung dan menemukan bahwa alam semesta senantiasa bergerak dan mengembang.
Fakta ini dibuktikan juga dengan menggunakan data pengamatan pada tahun 1929. Ketika mengamati langit dengan teleskop, Edwin Hubble, seorang astronom Amerika, menemukan bahwa bintang-bintang dan galaksi terus bergerak saling menjauhi.
*
Gunung yang Bergerak
“Dan kamu lihat gunung-gunung itu, kamu sangka dia tetap di tempatnya, padahal ia berjalan sebagai jalannya awan.” [QS 27:88]
14 abad lampau seluruh manusia menyangka gunung itu diam tidak bergerak. Namun dalam Al Qur’an disebutkan gunung itu bergerak.
Gerakan gunung-gunung ini disebabkan oleh gerakan kerak bumi tempat mereka berada. Kerak bumi ini seperti mengapung di atas lapisan magma yang lebih rapat. Pada awal abad ke-20, untuk pertama kalinya dalam sejarah, seorang ilmuwan Jerman bernama Alfred Wegener mengemukakan bahwa benua-benua pada permukaan bumi menyatu pada masa-masa awal bumi, namun kemudian bergeser ke arah yang berbeda-beda sehingga terpisah ketika mereka bergerak saling menjauhi.
Para ahli geologi memahami kebenaran pernyataan Wegener baru pada tahun 1980, yakni 50 tahun setelah kematiannya. Sebagaimana pernah dikemukakan oleh Wegener dalam sebuah tulisan yang terbit tahun 1915, sekitar 500 juta tahun lalu seluruh tanah daratan yang ada di permukaan bumi awalnya adalah satu kesatuan yang dinamakan Pangaea. Daratan ini terletak di kutub selatan.
Sekitar 180 juta tahun lalu, Pangaea terbelah menjadi dua bagian yang masing-masingnya bergerak ke arah yang berbeda. Salah satu daratan atau benua raksasa ini adalah Gondwana, yang meliputi Afrika, Australia, Antartika dan India. Benua raksasa kedua adalah Laurasia, yang terdiri dari Eropa, Amerika Utara dan Asia, kecuali India. Selama 150 tahun setelah pemisahan ini, Gondwana dan Laurasia terbagi menjadi daratan-daratan yang lebih kecil.
Benua-benua yang terbentuk menyusul terbelahnya Pangaea telah bergerak pada permukaan Bumi secara terus-menerus sejauh beberapa sentimeter per tahun. Peristiwa ini juga menyebabkan perubahan perbandingan luas antara wilayah daratan dan lautan di Bumi.
Pergerakan kerak Bumi ini diketemukan setelah penelitian geologi yang dilakukan di awal abad ke-20. Para ilmuwan menjelaskan peristiwa ini sebagaimana berikut:
Kerak dan bagian terluar dari magma, dengan ketebalan sekitar 100 km, terbagi atas lapisan-lapisan yang disebut lempengan. Terdapat enam lempengan utama, dan beberapa lempengan kecil. Menurut teori yang disebut lempeng tektonik, lempengan-lempengan ini bergerak pada permukaan bumi, membawa benua dan dasar lautan bersamanya. Pergerakan benua telah diukur dan berkecepatan 1 hingga 5 cm per tahun. Lempengan-lempengan tersebut terus-menerus bergerak, dan menghasilkan perubahan pada geografi bumi secara perlahan. Setiap tahun, misalnya, Samudera Atlantic menjadi sedikit lebih lebar. (Carolyn Sheets, Robert Gardner, Samuel F. Howe; General Science, Allyn and Bacon Inc. Newton, Massachusetts, 1985, s. 30)
Ada hal sangat penting yang perlu dikemukakan di sini: dalam ayat tersebut Allah telah menyebut tentang gerakan gunung sebagaimana mengapungnya perjalanan awan. (Kini, Ilmuwan modern juga menggunakan istilah “continental drift” atau “gerakan mengapung dari benua” untuk gerakan ini. (National Geographic Society, Powers of Nature, Washington D.C., 1978, s.12-13)
Tidak dipertanyakan lagi, adalah salah satu kejaiban Al Qur’an bahwa fakta ilmiah ini, yang baru-baru saja ditemukan oleh para ilmuwan, telah dinyatakan dalam Al Qur’an.
“Dan Kami telah meniupkan angin untuk mengawinkan dan Kami turunkan hujan dari langit lalu Kami beri minum kamu dengan air itu dan sekali kali bukanlah kamu yang menyimpannya.” (Al Qur’an, 15:22)
*
Ramalan Kemenangan Romawi atas Persia
“Alif, Lam, Mim. Telah dikalahkan bangsa Romawi, di negeri yang terdekat dan mereka sesudah dikalahkan itu akan menang, dalam beberapa tahun (lagi). Bagi Allah-lah urusan sebelum dan sesudah (mereka menang).” (Al Qur’an, 30:1-4)
Ayat-ayat ini diturunkan kira-kira pada tahun 620 Masehi, hampir tujuh tahun setelah kekalahan hebat Bizantium Kristen di tangan bangsa Persia, ketika Bizantium kehilangan Yerusalem. Kemudian diriwayatkan dalam ayat ini bahwa Bizantium dalam waktu dekat menang. Padahal, Bizantium waktu itu telah menderita kekalahan sedemikian hebat hingga nampaknya mustahil baginya untuk mempertahankan keberadaannya sekalipun, apalagi merebut kemenangan kembali.
Tidak hanya bangsa Persia, tapi juga bangsa Avar, Slavia, dan Lombard menjadi ancaman serius bagi Kekaisaran Bizantium. Bangsa Avar telah datang hingga mencapai dinding batas Konstantinopel. Kaisar Bizantium, Heraklius, telah memerintahkan agar emas dan perak yang ada di dalam gereja dilebur dan dijadikan uang untuk membiayai pasukan perang. Banyak gubernur memberontak melawan Kaisar Heraklius dan dan Kekaisaran tersebut berada pada titik keruntuhan. Mesopotamia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestina, Mesir dan Armenia, yang semula dikuasai oleh Bizantium, diserbu oleh bangsa Persia. (Warren Treadgold, A History of the Byzantine State and Society, Stanford University Press, 1997, s. 287-299.)
*
Diselamatkannya Jasad Fir’aun
“Maka pada hari ini Kami selamatkan badanmu supaya kamu dapat menjadi ramses firaun pelajaran bagi orang-orang yang datang sesudahmu.” [QS 10:92]
Maurice Bucaille dulunya adalah peneliti mumi Fir’aun di Mesir. Pada mumi Ramses II dia menemukan keganjilan, yaitu kandungan garam yang sangat tinggi pada tubuhnya.
Dia baru kemudian menemukan jawabannya di Al-Quran, ternyata Ramses II ini adalah Firaun yang dulu ditenggelamkan oleh Allah swt ketika sedang mengejar Nabi Musa as.
Injil & Taurat hanya menyebutkan bahwa Ramses II tenggelam; tetapi hanya Al-Quran yang kemudian menyatakan bahwa mayatnya diselamatkan oleh Allah swt, sehingga bisa menjadi pelajaran bagi kita semua.
Perhatikan bahwa Nabi Muhammad saw hidup 3000 tahun setelah kejadian tersebut, dan tidak ada cara informasi tersebut (selamatnya mayat Ramses II) dapat ditemukan beliau (karena di Injil & Taurat pun tidak disebut). Makam Fir’aun, Piramid, yang tertimbun tanah baru ditemukan oleh arkeolog Giovanni Battista Belzoni tahun 1817. Namun Al-Quran bisa menyebutkannya karena memang firman Allah swt (bukan buatan Nabi Muhammad saw).
*
Segala Sesuatu diciptakan Berpasang-pasangan
Al Qur’an yang berulang-ulang menyebut adanya pasangan dalam alam tumbuh-tumbuhan, juga menyebut adanya pasangan dalam rangka yang lebih umum, dan dengan batas-batas yang tidak ditentukan.
“Maha Suci Tuhan yang telah menciptakan pasangan-pasangan semuanya baik dari apa yang ditumbuhkan oleh bumi dan dari diri mereka maupun dari apa-apa yang mereka tidak ketahui.” [Yaa Siin 36:36]
Kita dapat mengadakan hipotesa sebanyak-banyaknya mengenai arti hal-hal yang manusia tidak mengetahui pada zaman Nabi Muhammad. Hal-hal yang manusia tidak mengetahui itu termasuk di dalamnya susunan atau fungsi yang berpasangan baik dalam benda yang paling kecil atau benda yang paling besar, baik dalam benda mati atau dalam benda hidup. Yang penting adalah untuk mengingat pemikiran yang dijelaskan dalam ayat itu secara rambang dan untuk mengetahui bahwa kita tidak menemukan pertentangan dengan Sains masa ini.
Meskipun gagasan tentang “pasangan” umumnya bermakna laki-laki dan perempuan, atau jantan dan betina, ungkapan “maupun dari apa yang tidak mereka ketahui” dalam ayat di atas memiliki cakupan yang lebih luas. Kini, cakupan makna lain dari ayat tersebut telah terungkap. Ilmuwan Inggris, Paul Dirac, yang menyatakan bahwa materi diciptakan secara berpasangan, dianugerahi Hadiah Nobel di bidang fisika pada tahun 1933. Penemuan ini, yang disebut “parité”, menyatakan bahwa materi berpasangan dengan lawan jenisnya: anti-materi. Anti-materi memiliki sifat-sifat yang berlawanan dengan materi. Misalnya, berbeda dengan materi, elektron anti-materi bermuatan positif, dan protonnya bermuatan negatif.
Fakta ini dinyatakan dalam sebuah sumber ilmiah sebagaimana berikut:
“…setiap partikel memiliki anti-partikel dengan muatan yang berlawanan … dan hubungan ketidakpastian mengatakan kepada kita bahwa penciptaan berpasangan dan pemusnahan berpasangan terjadi di dalam vakum di setiap saat, di setiap tempat.”
Semua ini menunjukkan bahwa unsur besi tidak terbentuk di Bumi, melainkan dibawa oleh meteor-meteor melalui letupan bintang-bintang di luar angkasa, dan kemudian “dikirim ke bumi”, persis sebagaimana dinyatakan dalam ayat tersebut. Jelas bahwa fakta ini tak mungkin diketahui secara ilmiah pada abad ke-7, di saat Al Qur’an diturunkan. (iil.wp)

FAKTA TOMCAT

0 komentar

FAKTA dan ASAL - USUL TOMCAT


Quote:
Semut Semai atau biasa kita sering dengar sekarang dengan nama serangga tomcat merupakan jenis populasi kumbang terbesar kedua didunia setelah jenis kumbang "Curculionidae" atau jenis kumbang hitam yang biasa kita lihat sehari2

Serangga Tomcat ini sebenarnya tidak menggigit atau menyengat namun serangga tomcat dapat mengeluarkan racun yang disebut dengan "aederin" racun tersebut akan keluar bila serangga tersebut tergencet atau tertekan , bila racun tomcat terkena pada kulit manusia maka akan menyebabkan terjadinya "Dermatitis linear" atau efek kulit seperti terbakar

tetapi selain merugikan tomcat juga sangat menguntungkan terutama bagi pihak petani karna habitat asli tomcat itu sendiri adalah persawahan dan merupakan predator dari hama wereng , penggunaan insektisida yang berlebihan juga merupakan salah satu penyebab mengapa banyaknya serangga Tomcat menyerang ke pemukiman warga
Quote:






Kumbang Paederus fuscipes atau serangga Tomcat berkembang biak di dalam tanah di tempat-tempat yang lembab, seperti di galengan sawah, tepi sungai, daerah berawa dan hutan.

Telurnya diletakkan di dalam tanah, begitu pula larva dan pupanya hidup dalam tanah. Setelah dewasa (menjadi kumbang) barulah serangga ini keluar dari dalam tanah dan hidup di tajuk tanaman .

Siklus hidup kumbang dari sejak telur diletakkan hingga menjadi kumbang dewasa sekitar 18 hari, dengan perincian stadium telur 4 hari, larva 9 hari, dan pupa 5 hari. Kumbang dapat hidup hingga 3 bulan. Seekor kumbang betina dapat meletakkan telur sebanyak 100 butir telur.

Quote:
Another Fact

1 Serangga Tomcat ini merupakan hewan yang senang dengan cahaya lampu sehingga dianjurkan jika tidak ingin terkena racun tomcat maka agan2 jauhilah berdiri dibawah cahaya lampu

2 Bila di hinggapi hindari kontak fisik yang membuat serangga tersebut terancam dianjurkan meniup serangga tersebut hingga jatuh hindari menekan apa lagi membunuh

3 Bila terkena racun umumnya gejala tersebut akan tampak 24 jam setelahnya

4 Pembilasan dengan sabun dapat mengurangi resiko Dermatitis linear akibat racun tomcat

100 Best Rock Bands Of All Time

Best Rock Bands Of All Time

Rock and roll is a genre of music that emerged as a defined musical style in the American South in the 1950s, and quickly spread to the rest of the country, and the world. It later evolved into the various different sub-genres of what is now called simply "rock". As a result, "rock and roll" now has two distinct meanings: either traditional rock and roll in the 1950s style, or later rock and even pop music which may be very far from traditional rock and roll.

This list is a collection of the top ten rock bands of all time. This includes bands that can be categorized as rock and roll, hard rock, southern rock, country, pop and just about any other genre that has evolved from 50's rock and roll.

+30Metallica roars like a lion that is what separates it from others and makes it the number 1 it's the real HARDCORE man's choice. Real EPIC hard Rock means Metallica
+13Metallica is an another meaning to rock metal!
Long live Metallica
+6Damn right the gods of metal, they deserve to be 1 for sure, nobody plays like Kirk Hammet and nobody can play like Metallica they deserve to be 1.

2Led Zeppelin
+112I think after going through quite a few lists that unfortunately the very young generally have more to say than the older group who might not necessarily even ventured onto a computer. There is a top 5 without a doubt, not in any particular order and they are Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd ( I never understood there popularity but it is there just the same ) and the newest member to the to group AC/DC

Groups should not even be considered unless they are loved worldwide and have been together for many many years with little change and still be able to command high venue sellouts and also in most cases if not huge radio play than at least high radio request. Many great great bands are biting at the doorstep of the big 5. Rush, Queen, U2 and Metallica, Black Sabbath to name a few.

I love these lists and they hold huge interest and although you will never get it just right for everyone they do make for great talk.
+47Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and the late John Bonham... Led Zeppelin; four individuals from differing backgrounds with diverse personalities and creativity came together composing, producing, and performing music without limits.

They are legendary and formed the backbone of what "hard rock" is defined as today. Jimmy Page was and still is the heart and soul of Led Zeppelin. They deserve their rightful place as the number one rock band of all time.
+38Led Zeppelin, the true Hard Rock originals placed at No.2! Sort of pains me. It should be in number 1 slot. And Metallica doesn't deserve that number 1 position. I have heard Queen, Guns N Roses, Black Sabbath, The Who, Beatles, AC/DC, Metallica but none have that understated elegance in Rock Music, perfect tunes, great Guitar riffs, fantastic drums and of-course the lyrics. I have been a fan of all above mentioned Rock Bands at various times but finally getting hold of many Led Zeppelin albums made me an honest fan of them. Also at times I feel embarrassed that all these years I had been listening to average to run-of-the-mill rock songs (My Pre-Led Zeppelin years).

330 Seconds to Mars
+27030 seconds to mars is a kind of style of life, is a new religion, is something that people can't describe. 30 seconds to mars is a dream. And a lot of people believe in that dream, not only the band... Even the ECHELON
+203The most amazing band ever. Fantastic band to see live, the atmosphere is electric. They are the only band I know who have such an amazing connection with their fans. Proud to be a member of the echelon!
+18230 Seconds To Mars - is my life! Jared, Tomo, Shannon - they are my idols! I don't know what I would do without their music. It's the best rock band I've ever seen and listen. You should vote them!

4Linkin Park
+500They've brought to the world an all new Genre. Its called, Linkin Park. The combination of Chester (Amazing voice) and Mike Shinoda (Rap) is just insane. They're awesome. No one can match chester's voice when it comes to shouting like that and yet find it so pleasing. Linkin Park forever. They've produced music that no one can ever forget. Lives always somewhere within. Somewhere very deep.
+312It's the most crazy, most rocking and the exotic rock band ever evolved...
Simply...
THE AWESOME!
+284They can't be beat they change their music they have so many hit songs they are in TRANSFORMERS. They have the most views of any rock band on youtube

New divide, what I've done, crawling, in the end, numb, faint, breaking the habit and so many more hit songs. THEY ARE SIMPLY THE BEST

5The Beatles
+159It seems I was born in the wrong generation, because I see that Metallica is the first. The Beatles is a legend, unbelievable phenomenon in the music history.
+80This band started music without the Beatles the world would still be in the great depression
+67I too think that I am born in this wrong generation why people are going after Metallica or somebody because the Beatles is good
More comments about The BeatlesListen to samples
6Tokio Hotel
+47For me Tokio Hotel is the best band. Their songs are very original and very unique which makes it stand out from the rest. Also whenever I listen to their songs, every line is full of emotions it's either sad, happy, or it's just about having fun. And FYI for those who don't know, the members of Tokio Hotel are really good guys. So I hope TH gets a higher rank.
+37I LOVE Tokio Hotel more than any other band in the world. I have never been to any of their concerts (however, I have bought their live DVD's and I think they always give an awesome performance)but I have heard their music and it has something to it that no other artist has ever managed to give to me. They are simply the best and are one-of-a-kind. Don't get me wrong I love all the other bands listed here but Tokio Hotel are, in my opinion, the best of the best.
+36They've been the reason of my happiness since more than 5 years now, I'm so proud of them and I just can say that they are the best for me I love them and I love their music, and for those who says that their music is plastic, there's a quote from Bill Kaulitz: "Music, It's an emotion: If you're just a puppet, how can you put your soul in what you do? For my part, I believe that I put my soul to it, so I get angry when people think that what I do is plastic"

7Queen
+87I find that freddie mercury a so good vocal have and that no men of the wide universe where we live not other creature can sing so as freddie mercury!

And the different styles that freddie mercury can do in different songs is
Not possible!
+58Queen had it all. The sound, the show, the image, the everything. Queen has composed many songs that are still remembered today.
+52There's nothing as attractive and magical as a Queen concert. Just buy one of their DVDs and try to imagine you were there. A great band and a mythical voice rocking you on and on. This was Queen, this was Freddie.

8Guns N Roses
+127Best voice on the planet, Axl Rose
Best guitarist of all time, Slash
Coolest bassist ever, Duff GUNS N ROSES
Badass drummer, Steven Adler
Best songwriter, Izzy Stradlin
+70Why Guns n Roses is the best? Because it's simply the best band you can Jam om with an air guitar. that's why. Listen to slash's awesome guitar strummin' and axl's voice combining in an awesome pack of songs
+43Yeah you're right! They are the best band ever. , the original member is the best band formation of all time. ,

9Avenged Sevenfold
+102Most talented band all around nowadays, all their songs are great pieces of art. Plain genius
+66I like avenged sevenfold because
Avenged sevenfold are the best band in the world
I like his song a dear god, almost easy, danger line, and anymore
The song is really best and nobody like avenged sevenfold
If you listen is song you be say amazing
+47Um why is Linkin Park ahead of A7X? They had 2 good albums! That's it! Avenged Sevenfold has the most unique sound to this date. They have one of the greatest guitarists of all time and probably the best duo of guitarists I have ever heard. And M Shadows probably has the most unique voice for a rock band I've heard. Yes, nobody will ever beat Metallica but Avenged Sevenfold at number 9? Whoever voted apparently doesn't really know what good music is. 30 Seconds to Mars is trash, Tokio Hotel is trash, and Linkin Park should be off this list. A7X foREVer

10X Japan
+13Really glad to see X in the top 10 (even if its at the bottom).
The fact that they can rate so highly on an English language site used mainly by English speaking people despite the fact that most of their songs are in Japanese and they are widely unknown in the western world is testament to their greatness.

Their music transcends the language barrier with passion, skill and one of the most unique vocals in rock.

They really are an inspiration for so many all over the world and I feel sorry for those to busy listening to 30 seconds to mars and tokio hotel to appreciate how good they really are.
+9Because X Japan is the rock and at the same time the melody, because the passion, because Art of Life, because they give all they have to their fans, because we are X!
+5Their song Art Of Life basically discribes how life and how the human race is, the beautiful melody that shows the side of life that seems so easy and then the amazing piano solo that yoshiki made that turned into darkness and exposes reality. They are an amazing band their music is beautiful and heartfelt, their music is truly art! They should be higher on this list. One more thing, they have their own genre of music and their own style, all of them took on reality and life strongly and they enjoy what they do.

11Green Day
+57THE best of the best, go billie joe armstrong, just love these guys! 111 This should be in the top 10, their best song holiday, and best albums american idiot and 21st century breakdown, you possibly cannot beat that!

It is also.. Reflecting their lives being in that song.. Billie Joe is an amazing performer, musician, song-writer and singer, Mike is awesome underrated bassist ( with the best bass lines in history ) and Tre' Cool is the most bad ass, funny, pure energy, and great Rock and Roll drummer ( with awesome drum solos )...

+43AC DC IS THE BEST ROCK BAND OF THE ALL TIMES! ANGUS, MALCOLM, CLIFF, PHIL AND BRIAN ARE PERFECTS, LIKE A ROCK´N ROLL ORCHESTRA! THEY DID A LOT OF THE BEST ROCK SOUNDS IN THE HISTORY! AC DC FOREVER!
More comments about AC/DC
15Pink Floyd
+76I honestly think Pink Floyd should be at number one. The combination of Waters concepts and lyrics and Gilmours guitar/vocals (as well as the fine musicianship of Rick Wright and Nick Mason)produced a force that generates Pink Floyd addicts to this very day.

I recently saw someone write "Pink Floyd has never written a bad song. There may be a weak song, or a song that requires thought to understand, but never a bad song". I agree with this 100%. This is one of the few bands that has never released a 'filler' album.
+42Metallica at the top? What a disgrace... Pink Floyd are easily one of the most influential bands in history, with one of the largest fan bases of any band. They definitely deserve to be number one!
+40The Beatles are the greatest rock band ever, but I was so horrified at the place of the second greatest that I had to put my vote here. Best progressive rock band ever. Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest album ever, and that includes Sgt. Peppers (which does have the most innovative use of the studio ever, but the songs themselves aren't as good as on revolver).

16The GazettE
+48I can't describe this band with words. They're... the only musicians who can make music that makes me cry. Gazerock is not dead! And as long as it exists, I want to support the GazettE with everything I have.
+38THEY. ARE. FANTASTIC. Their music is amazing, on the stage they are gods. I never saw a band like GazettE, the vocal has such a wonderful voice, and he writes lyrics that make you cry. And they have the best guitar and bass solos ever...
+37this is the best band EVER! they love what are doing, they have beautiful songs (and members too) gazerock rlz :D [sorry for my bad english u. u]

17Muse
+75OMG, it's a shame, dear everyone. Muse not in the top 10? OMG. I must die. They are the best! The singer (Matt) is a very talented person, he can play different kinds of instruments, and his voice! The drummer (Dom) is an energetic, really happy person, and the bassist (Chris) is the best bassist forever! (And ever) Anyway, they are the best. They have the best songs. Love at first listen.
+55Muse are an extremely versatile band, the five studio albums they have released vary in genre with the central theme always maintaining the rock we expect. They seem to be capable of achieving great results and catchy songs in all the genres they tackle. They have the ability to play their instruments with passion and also produce a huge wall of sound although there is only three members in the band. I think they deserve the title of best rock band because not only do people enjoy listening to their music, they influence new bands and their lyrics make you think of things that you perhaps haven't thought before including conspiracy theories and a particular favorite of mine, thoughts of a dying atheist, which does what it says on the tin. I think that Muse are rock giants and two sell out nights at wembley stadium can't be wrong. Muse produce not so much fans as devotees, so although they may not have the most fans, I am proud to be called a Muser.
+46They got to be higher. They've got amazing songs such as Unnatural Selection, Butterflies And Hurricanes, and the rest of their songs. The guitar riffs are very good, and Matt has a very good voice.

18Heart
+1If you ever seen them live during the 70's you would understand why such a high ranking. The best live act ever.
+1You know Heart is awesome when they are ranked this high and was only good for 4 years. They made an impact with the three good records they performed in the 70's
Easily one of the most underrated bands... They have rocked for nearly 40 years and have constantly managed to reinvent themselves. Their music is so diverse and they're among the greatest live acts ever.

+6What a fantastic group! They're very nice and their music simply wonderfull... One of the best group of the world! (My favorite group! ). Their "live" album dating for the 4 december 2010 "ending on a high note" is magic! A big show representing their best music. Kiss from an fun since 1983.
+6I wouldn't exactly call A-ha a rockband, but they are definitely one of the best bands ever. And they do know how to rock!

+5They have my life, my heart. The guys are the most good-looking men and they have very special personality!
I love them very much! ! !
And also their family.

I don't know, what could I do without A-HA?!?! My life would be very empty...

Keep on, guys! =)

20Nirvana
+36Nirvana is for me the best band ever, they may not be better than Metallica but they changed the history of RnR. And with Kurt Cobain as frontman they just must be in the top 10
+24Who the heck is tokio hotel? Why isn't nirvana in the top ten? They changed music forever! How is a band like Ah-ha or X Japan ahead of nirvana! I've never even heard of them! Nirvana should of cracked the top ten at least! This list is rigged! Metallica number 1? They're a really good band but number one maybe a bit much. I think the beatles should've made it number 1
+22NIRVANA is the best band ever! Hands down. Nirvana should be at least in the top 5 or 10. Every single album they made was different and yet Awesome, so many fans worldwide in such a short period! NIrvana has inspired me in so many ways and I'm only 11 years old. ILY KURT!

+19Come on people! My Chemical Romance number 21 that's just not fair! They are inspirational, amazing and just well amazing! They have songs that people can really relate to and connect. They are life savers and everyone should recognize them for the true heroes they really are. The MCRmy are behind you all the way, keep running and we'll stay ugly.

22Red Hot Chili Peppers
+50I'm sure the bands above these guys are extremely talented and have been incredibly successful in their careers, but the Red Hot Chili Peppers are just a legend still being born. They've inspired the creation of many other bands and I really believe they deserve a Top 10 spot. Who doesn't know of RHCP? Who doesn't enjoy at least one of their songs? The Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the greatest rock bands in history. They can generate a different sound, vibe and mood with every album released.
+39Best Band to Grace this Earth Period. Been listening to them since I was a little tike and let me tell you something I'm a modern day Plato from listening to these guys. Kiedis theory isn't perfect but it's close, his insightfulness has been the foundation of my constitution of which I live by today. He's taught me more than any teacher could ever teach me and I love him for that, now back to the band. They fuse all these great sounds that we as humans know, love, feel and can't explain and the peppers extract those feelings from us and take us on a ride of a beautiful thing we call life. They are more than just a band to me, they are my medicine, I bleed the Red Hot Chili Peppers. If I had one wish other than everlasting wellness for my family, it would be that these guys would find the fountain of youth.
+19When I first heard their songs, I was completely conquered their charm. I didn't know how to express my feelings of surprise. In my mind, RHCP is one of the best bands in the world. I believe a lot of people think so.

25L'Arc~en~Ciel
+7The music they have produced, is just like their name, which means rainbow. The style/genre changes slightly from time to time, but yet, always nailed in with true L'Arc~en~Ciel flavor. There are not many bands out there who can make it to 20th anniversary, but they have done that, and showing no signs of stopping. They slowly taking over the world, and if you haven't heard of them, you had better be, because this is truly one of the best band in the world.
+4L'Arc~en~Ciel is a band that doesn't follow the trend lately, but they create the trend themselves..
And they surely made their creation to be an inspiration by others..
+2They are really awesome band, I'm not into rock songs, but they are REALLY GREAT, FLYING WITHOUT WINGS

ONLY TWO MORE WORDS

THEY ROCK!

+15I Agree Him is one of the best rock bands in history and in my opinion Him in time will equal or surpass Led Zeppelin as being the all time greatest band in rock history.

29U2
+27U2 are still to leave their legacy.. Today still breaking all types of records; most grammy's, largest world tour (360), most tours in the top 10 of all time (3 x Popmart, Vertigo and 360)... and garnering more young fans than any other rock band... Took a photo of my 8 yr old in the golden circle at their SA leg... and behind her was a group of 8 teenagers... that's just insane!
+17This band should be number one. They have the most grammy's, and every single they come out with gets an award. Don't you dare try to tell me that they're not the best.
+8I've always thought that U2 was one of the greatest bands of all time. I don't understand how it could drop all the way down to 34. To me it's worthy of being a top ten band because of songs like with or without you, where the streets have no name, sunday bloody sunday, one, and albums like achtung baby.

31The Rolling Stones
+23The Stones #38? Are you kidding me? Proof positive why they shouldn't let 'tweeners vote on the all-time greatest anything except episodes of Sponge Bob. Twenty years from now, if this question is asked, the Rolling Stones will still be in the discussion. And bands like 30 seconds to Mars, Linkin Park, and their ilk will be just cutout records in the dump bin.
+15Kept scrolling down thinking 'well surely the stones are next... ' Number 37? Are you kidding me? I think I've lost fate in humanity! I wouldn't mind as much, but 30 Seconds To Mars are at number 6 for gods sake! The Beatles should be number 1 and The Rolling Stones should be number two! Any song by The Rolling Stones would have been a hit for 30 Seconds To Mars, but for The Rolling Stones it was just another song on another album!

They are very good, lyrics are also fantastic.
Serj is awesome in concerts or music videos.
Good job guys.
+19I honestly think that they are true gods of alternative rock, and they have always been a few steps in front of others, their music is down to earth but takes you on a whole another dimension, lyrics that open your head and music that opens your heart!
+9Serj is easily one of the best singers of all time. Daron is great on guitar. John can play more that the same beat the entire song. And Shavo is more of a guitarist but is still awesome with bass. Their lyrics have good meaning... For the most part. Songs are just great, personal favorite is Question. GREAT band, its all about opinion I guess!

34Rush
+22Rush is 32? Have you people not heard their music, or do you simply concentrate on crap?
Peart is the most talented drummer, hands down. No one can play the skill level he's at, Bonham was able to hit what, 4 polyrythms while Peart's hitting 6 or even 7 at a time?!
What about Geddy and Alex? Combined they are the ultimate band. Go watch the move "I Love you Man" Rudd and Segel know what their talking aboot!
+12Any budding musician who is *serious* about mastering their instrument of choice listens to Rush. Ask any current successful musician about their influences or what other musicians they admire - 4 out 5 are going to mention Rush.
drtobasco
+12Even if you don't like rush you should see one of their concerts. The musicianship will blow your mind. I just saw them 3 weeks ago and they were flawless and like teenagers on stage. Absolutely amazing for 3 guys in their mid 50's

35Evanescence
+16the reason I like Evanescence would definitely be... Amy Lee. that girl sorta jumps out at you from the lyrics and catches your attention, and she makes you feel what she's feeling, and wow, what a voice!
+11What! This is one of the best bands in the world and it's placed at 37? You gotta listen to songs like Bring Me To Life, My Immortal, Going under, What you want, Call me when you're sober, Lithium and much more and you'll realize why it should be in the top 10. Honestly, You can't have a better female singer than Amy Lee.

Same way, even Bon Jovi's on 19. This is HELL! It is an amazing band and composes brilliant music. It surely deserves a better place.
Also(according to me), Linkin Park is better than Led Zeppelin and the Beatles. Should be at least at no. 2.
+6Best band in the world. Their New CD is awesome. Lost In Paradise is an Epic tune!

+15I love Led Zeppelin, Queen Journey but Aerosmith is the best band ever! Think about their song, they are all great hits! Aerosmith has to be in the top 10
+6Aerosmith is bloody brilliant- To think they are actually below knock offs of Aerosmith is really sad. Tyler's got lyrical talent and amazing vocals- Perry is chock full of catchy riffs and Hamilton is great for a band that's not bass heavy..The fact that these guys have lasted from '71 to now, still throwing out hits is just amazing. This list just shows how far people's musical knowledge has fallen. .Because these guys should be in the top ten.. Easy.

+14Best band, hands down. from my generation to real good looking boy, the who have created fantastic music. Who's next, Quadrophenia, Tommy, The Who by numbers, the who sell out, who are you. all great albums. this band should be #1. every person on earth probably likes at least one song by the who. the majority will like at least on album. and maybe 1/5 to 1/3 of people in the world like at least 30 who songs. I own 100 songs by them and every one of them (besides underture from tommy) is gold.

+27They just changed the punk/rock music for ever, without them some bands like nfg, all time low, simple plan and many more would have never existed

+34one of the greatest. they don't just make you like the lyrics, they make you feel the song. Ben is just an amazing musical singer and guitarist. Aaron is a great guitarist and a funny guy. Mark and chad play very complicated parts and are very nice and selfless. They are some of the nicest people. One of the bands that proves that not all music is bad nowadays. if you haven't heard of them, go listen to them. they are amazing!
+27I love all kinds of rock, either its Apocalyptica, Metallica, Manowar or even Dragonforce, but when it comes to BB, everything comes together in one hell of a package, great lyrics, great sounds and mostly a huge feeling they gave me, hope the best for them. Peace!

+8The fact that Tool is ranked 41 and a "band" like Tokio Hotel is ranked in the top 10 really makes me question this list thing. Seriously.
+8Tool is a wonderful band, they have amazing lyrics and gorgeous music. How they are so low on the list is beyond me, they deserve to be so much higher than they are.
+4If you haven't listened to Tool before, do yourself a favor: listen to Lateralus (the song, but also the whole album if you have the time), and read up on some facts about the Fibonacci-sequence. See if you can figure out something on your own, if not just read some song-facts about it or something. If you are not convinced that voting for Tool is the only correct thing to do after understanding the great musicianship of all four members of the band, I certainly don't understand your reasoning.

I get much more power after I listen to paramore's song.
Hayley is my role model by the way
And the members care about their fans.
They love us!
They share the pics and videos often
And let their fans know that where they are where they are doing!
So Paramore is the best band without a doubt.

They were also the first metal band ever! Opened many doors for bands like led zepplin also other bands I would put them second to the beatles
+9There is no way they are this 1ow Who started meta1? Who allowed the existence of band 1ike Ozzy Osbourne and dio? And which guitarist made 1ike 200 different riffs while keeping it fresh? This is the most influential band p1ease people think about what you're doing

2. Gene Simmons tongue (7 inches baby! )
3. Ace Frehley's guitar solos! (sounds like a guitar on steroids! )

5. Native New Yokers
6. Paul Stanley's chest hair
7. Gene Simmons ego (can be seen outside your window)

52Alice In Chains
+6For all the people who use this site freely do me a favorite. Go to your local record store and buy Jar of Flies, Alice In Chains (Self tittled) Dirt, and Facelift, and I bet you we have a diff. Turn out
+5IF LAYNE WAS STILL ALIVE THIS BAND WOULD BE NUMBER 1 AND EVERYONE KNOWS HE HAD THE BEST VOICE EVER!!!! NO ONE SINGS BETTER THAN LAYNE.....
+4We live in a commercial-saturated, consumerist society hell today. If, like me, that causes you a lot of alienation and does not resonate with your own reality, then you need to have this music in your life. If you are suffering and all of the T.V. and youth pop culture, the disconnect between people, rampant materialism and empty, peppy brainwashing everywhere telling you everything's okay when you don't feel it is is making your fear and pain worse, then you absolutely need Alice in Chains' "Jar of Flies" album.

If anything else, it will really make you feel that there is someone who understands, and it will sooth you with its mellow beauty. It doesn't matter what the exact nature of the pain in your life is... These guys and Layne lived through hurt and understood it, and you can really hear it in the music. They excelled in both acoustic and hard rock and metal, with a sound all their own that... Well, you just need to hear it. So if you think you like those things, please- please listen to them.

53Slipknot
+182 good reasons why they use these masks.
-To scare off pop fans who would go insane after hearing their greatness.
-To stand out of a pack of other rock bands. In a giant clump of rock bands, it would be very easy to pick them out of the bunch.
+14For those times when you just need to release your anger!
+3Everyone in this band plays at least two instruments. they have awesome musicianship. Sid wilson is a great DJ, Corey Taylor can go from singing to screaming better then anyone else, Joey Jordison is the fastest drummer of all time and the best metal drummer. there guitar and bass is nothing special but it is far from bad. Listen to Sulfur and dead memories.

55Dream Theater
+16They're not my favorite band of all time. There are some periods of time where all I do is listen to one band. I'm in that phase right now with Dream Theater. With a completely unbiased opinion, I really mean it when I say that they are, without a doubt, the greatest band of all time. In terms of technicality, they are literally perfect. Each person in the band (James Labrie, John Petrucci, John Myung, Jordan Ruddess, Mike Portnoy/Mike Mangini) is a master at their instrument. Every one of their albums are filled with emotion. The riffs are incredible. The bass lines are mind blowing. The vocals are emotional. The solos are jaw dropping. The drumming is top notch. They are also musical geniuses, where they play in the craziest time signatures, and none of the 4/4 BS that most bands use. Try counting to The Dance of Eternity. It's almost impossible.
+9Dream Theater opened up a whole new world of music for me. I can't imagine where I would be without them.
+6This list was s weird. FALL OUT BOY AHEAD DREAM THEATER? It's so ridiculous and horrible. Dream theater should be #1. Their skill, their band and everything was the best ever. They're the best talent ever. No one can be compared with DREAM THEATER!

+23I've been listening to just about every kind of music, and Oasis is the only band that never dissapoints me! Noel Gallagher is the best songwriter of the last 20 years. Thank you for the good times Oasis!
+10How is Oasis at 53? They were the inspiration for all us growing up in the 80/90's. Some say they are not the best because they did not complete a world tour but does this really matter? They remind me of a time a long time ago when the world was easy to understand
+9How are Oasis #54? The Best Band to come out of Britain along with The Stones and The Beatles, But Oasis took inspiration and raised the bar to where it's never been, Noel writing songs wit unbelievable meaning and thousands of people relate to his lyrics, mix that with the attitude and arrogance of the best frontman there's ever been, You can't get any better?

59Pearl Jam
+9Um this is the most disgusting list I've ever seen. Pearl jam is the greatest american rock band of all time and is by far one of the greatest bands of all time. If you don't know pearl jam, you don't know music
+5its hard to choose frm so many awesome bands.. bt I def didn't xpect to find pearl jam at 57! I love ac/dc n rhcp n a lot of the other bands listed above but pearl jam definitely deserves a place above all of them! on the top ten atlst.. I can't believe linkin park is on no.7! what bs! Eddie Vedder is way too amazing to be this low on the list!

60The Doors
+12What! The doors at 58, you have to be kidding me, obviously majority of the voters from this list prefer commercial bands like linkin Park etc. That can only be the reason why great bands like the doors, pink floyd and deep purple are not doing so well. Anyways, The doors are Gods, the produced classic records that will never die, their music is heavenly and incredibly spiritual.
+7Yes! Jim Morrison is the best! He finally gets honor
+6He is the king the "lizard king"
number 1 band of psychedelic rock!
all time favorite the lyrics the music and morison's stage performance...

61Cheap Trick
The Name is Cheap Trick, But not "Cheap" enough to get into 62nd place. They Kept the name so that others can get "trick"ed by the name because they don't want other dumb heads like the ones who voted here to praise them. As they don't deserve to praise them even
They should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Anybody who thinks todays "bands" (for lack of a better word) are greater than Cheap Trick don't know what they are talking about.

+8Greatest metal band ever they are not like other bands that have changed their music style after 20 years like other bands they haven't changed since 1983 and that's a very good thing they deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame.
+6thrashy riffs by dave marty's orgasmic solos ! defines Megadeth! Rust in peace is probably the best structured piece of metal in the world! they are the real metal gods :) <3

I have never listened to any band more than this one in my entire life. Why? Because no one is better, and no one will ever be better, than Disturbed! We Are.. DISTURBED! We Are.. DISTURBED!

I am in AWE of Billy Corgan and his out of this world talent.

+15They have the by far the best lyrics I've ever heard. They are also politically active. They should be much higher up. Listen to a few songs and you'll be hooked.
+110.1~~? You serious? Come on, Rise Against surely have a meaning in their songs, other bands can only dream about. Just look at the "Make it Stop" video and you know what I mean

70The Jimi Hendrix Experience
+1I love th Experience, have 2 of their cd's but the reason they aren't up there in the list is because Jimi Hendrix IS the band, no disrespect to the other guys but they are shadowed, Jimi always had a back up band, and it wasn't always this, they are the best of his bands, but he had Band of Gypsies and a couple other groups at different times. This is why groups like David Bowie and The Spiders From Mars aren,t in the list, because the BAND isn't noticed, the LEGEND is, and what a super ledgend is Hendrix! Rock and Roll hall of famer and The Rolling Stones best guitarist ever.
THEMASTER
How are they not the best band, they should be at least in the top 10.
They may not have the best drummer or bassist but noel and mitch are still very good. And they have the best guitarist ever!

about 90~~ of these bands don't even compare to The Jimi Hendrix Experience. They don't even come close
Ha Ha Ha Ha. I laugh at others stupidity. Hendrrix should be #2 next to Led Zeppelin. But cmon obviously people are idiots. i just recently looked and Panic! at the Disco was ahead of Hendrix. Name three songs Panic! at the Disco have..... you can't can you. That's because they're no better than most of these other bands nowadays. I bet in three years they will be forgotten. Disgraceful.

This band is what every band should be like! All these punk bands now days cry about wanting to commit suicide and stupid stuff like that.. They think the "I'm so messed up" persona is "cool"... That's lame, this band mixes some of the most appealing sounds and lyrics about world issues that will be sure to get you banging your head, and most certainly change your view of the world!
+2Awesome band music is suppose to inspire you listen to How I Could Just Kill A Man and don't tell me it doesn't just wants to make you pull the trigger

Listen to simple man please, one of the best songs ever written! Not to mention free bird, gimme three steps, or sweet home alabama
I hate to say your stupid oh that's right no I don't your stupid to have this band as 74 I mean my God who made this list Beethoven. Freebird is damn near the entire south's national anthem and for this band who meet such a tragic possible fate with that awful pane crash to not only come back but to kick more ass is amazing. Many bands have come and gone in 30 years but not skynyrd they are still riding that freebird high in the sky with countless hits amazing solos and songs with meaning not just cds to make them money but cds and songs with a purpose to inspire rock and kickass.

+12They should be in top 70 this list has got its problems and this is the biggest one and by the way white stripes on 88 they suck none of their songs is as good as sum 41 songs like - pieces, with me, fat lip

These guys defined hair metal and should be up in the top 10, so should Guns N' Roses and AC/DC.
+2Motley is the definition of rock n roll! Those guys live and breathe rock n roll! Excess is best, that's their motto. I still cannot believe those guys are still around to tell all the stories. I have been a huge fan since I was 5 years old. And all original members are still doing it together after more than thirty years of decadence. It's very rare I love motley.

84Dave Matthews Band
+4DMB is an amazing mix of all that is right in the world. Real music with meaningful lyrics and instruments. Real musicians. Live they are breathtaking.
+3Under the Table and Dreaming, Crash and Beneath These Crowded Streets are three of the best albums ever made. Crash is absolutely brilliant. There is not a single song that you want to skip and every song on the album could be your favorite song on the album at some point. It is a testament to the quality of work these guys are capable of that their recent albums, although they are not all that bad and do include some radio hits, are very disappointing to anyone who has listened to the first three.
+2Dave Matthews band... they are the greatest band ever. It is just extraordinary the capacity Dave has to create bread taking songs out of day to day experiences; and also be able to create social complains against injustice politics and so... Crash into me, Dream girl, Spoon... and they don�'t need no monumental scenarios they are Art, simple, and everlasting.

+6Nine Inch Nail's lyrics can connect with most people in the world, on a personal level.
+4Nine Inch Nails, comprised of Trent Reznor, has got to be the most original band out there. His dark, self loathing, and ambient beats are something completely unheard of when he started out. Trent's not in it for the money, he just does what comes to him and he'll always be remembered for that. In short, NIN rocks!
+3Nine Inch Nails owns anything in the top 10. Enough said. Trent Reznor is a genius.
