The 50 Greatest Bands Of All Time

Sorry for the odd music. A copyright owner has claimed it owns some of the audio content in my video. The funny thing is he/she removed the song on this video that was placed at number one. Eh. Whatever.

Here is a list of the top 50 greatest bands of all time.

*****
As requested for me to say by many comments:

This is based upon my opinionated rankings.

You probably could have figured that out by reading the information below. But you're probably too cool and busy for that.
*****

Total estimated time: 32 hours. 8 days of work, 4 hours a day.

Post your top 10 in the comments!

Warning: Do not look below unless you wish to know the order of the bands and the songs on the video.

I have used Microsoft Excel to determine which bands deserved the spots. I used the following categories to place them in their correct order:

-U.S. Sales (Out of 100)
-Songs and Songwriting (Out of 100)
-Technical Ability (Out of 100)
-Innovation (Out of 100)
-Live Performance (Out of 50)
-Consistency (Out of 50)

EDIT: Haha, I love some of the mean comments on here. I was hoping it would generate some good discussion. If you disagree with my list, I feel that making your own list would be a more reasonable way of showing it other than just sitting there and bashing mine.

And to everyone out there who says this list sucks because one or two of your favorite bands weren't on here OR a band you happen to dislike was on here, get over yourself. People have different taste in music.

I tried not to be bias during the making of this list, which was hard because my favorite band, AC/DC, was only ranked 19th. They just didn't have much Innovation.

And yeah, I know that's not a picture of Boston. Sorry, Google Images tricked me.

OH and to everyone who says that The Beatles should be number 1:

While The Beatles were undoubtedly higher in U.S. Sales, Songwriting, and Innovation, they lacked the most in their Technical Ability, ranking a 79/100, while Led Zeppelin ranked a 98/100. Led Zeppelin also ranked higher in Live Performance and Consistency. So, if you were wondering how it was possible, there you go.

Other bands that were nearly included were:

Velvet Underground, Prince & The Revolution, Foo Fighters, System Of A Down, The Cars, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jethro Tull, Sublime, ZZ Top, ABBA, Chicago, Dire Straits, Talking Heads, The Band, Duran Duran, Primus, Sex Pistols, Lynyrd Skynyrd, R.E.M., The Jackson 5, Motley Crue, Motorhead, Radiohead, Kansas, The Scorpions, Judas Priest, Sly and the Family Stone, Audioslave, Blondie, The Carpenters, Dixie Chicks, Parliament Funkadelic, King Crimson, Bad Religion, No Doubt, Deep Purple, James Brown and the JBs, and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

Enjoy!
