Rock n’ roll was born in the 1950s, and has since left an unquestionable mark on the world. It didn’t just heavily influence the music scene; it also transformed many cultural norms, having an influence on fashion and even wider human behaviors. But which rock n’ roll bands were the most influential of them all? Which is the greatest? We have compiled a list, ranking the 25 greatest rock bands in history, just keep reading to find out which is the best of all time!
25. Rush
Rush
Later, in the 1990s, Rush re-introduced their guitar-based hard rock sound, a style they stuck to until the end of the band’s career. Drummer Neil Peart, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and Geddy Lee the lead vocalist, definitely earned themselves a place of this list thanks to their musical diversity and experimentation with the genre.
24. Journey
Journey began their journey in the world of rock n’ roll in San Francisco, and in 1981 had their ultimate hit song “Don’t Stop Believing”; a song which was a hit in the year it came out, but even more impressive, it made history in 2009 when it became the top-selling track on iTunes for a song that was not even released in the same century!
Journey
But, other than that hit, there are many more reasons that this band is on our list. Journey is highly rated for their power ballads, and it is thought that Steve Perry, the band’s lead vocalist is one of the greatest in rock history, and Neal Schon’s supreme guitar licks are thought to be unparalleled! The fact that they sold over 75 million record worldwide is a testament to their greatness.
