In no particular order, eight of my favorite rock bands include (do note that multiple sub genres' of rock, such as metal, are being included):

1. Badfinger

2. Cinderella

3. Tesla

4. Scorpions

5. The Beatles

6. Lynyrd Skynyrd

7. Mountain

8. Iced Earth

If it wasn't for the fact that they were somehow labeled as country, Cross Canadian Ragweed surely would've made my list. Unfortunately, their record label is stupid and, even though they're a pure rock band, they've been labeled as country. I mean, I lobe country music too and Ragweed does have country influences, but they are pure rock!

Mine Are:

The Strokes

Fugazi

Black Flag

Minor Threat

Alice in Chains

Nirvana

The Ramones

Pearl Jam
