7. Metallica
Metallica formed in 1981, and their music helped create the sound of a new musical genre – thrash metal. Frontman James Hetfield’s fierceness on stage, combined with the dexterous drumming of Lars Ulrich and the masterful guitar playing of Kirk Hammett, really made for a powerful musical creation. The band had not a small number of problems to face as a group, and they even went to therapy at one point, but they managed to work through most of there issues, giving us some outstanding hard rock n’ roll over the years.

They also made a strangely artsy album with Velvet Underground’s Lou Reed, “Lulu”, which we wouldn’t say is either of theirs best creation, but we definitely tip our hats to both of them for putting themselves out there musically and trying something different.
6. Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd formed in 1965 in England, and are thought to be one of the first British psychedelia groups, using synthesizers in new ways, inspiring the development of new genres such as progressive rock, or progressive space rock, and ambient music, and have received international acclaim over the years. They are also known for their concept albums, each one taking you through time and space with its own story and sound.
Pink Floyd
The band is well known for their sensory experimentation, philosophical and unashamed lyrics, extended melodies, psychedelic sounds, and their detailed and artistic live shows. In 1996, the band was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2005 into the UK Music Hall of Fame, with their albums, “The Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wall” ranking as two of the best-selling albums of all time. Obviously they are pretty high up on our list!
