Just on the Beatles again Paul McCartney regularly gets near the top of best Bassist polls which absolutely boggles my mind.....
Also, these guys seem to like Ringo quite a bit.
Phil Collins: "Ringo is vastly, vastly underrated. His playing is understated, but also very complex - particularly his fills. You could take a great drummer of today and ask them to "play it like Ringo did" and they wouldn't have a clue.

Ray Davies at Glastonbury in 2010.
Perfection.

Oh Ffffffff the lot of you....!
U2 are superb, their music is timeless and you're all just trying to look cool because they aren't "edgy" (excuse the pun) enough or because the band members mainly Bono can be a bit "save the world". The music and lyrics are simply wonderful. I put them up there in the same category of greatness as Bruce Springsteen and Prince.Now ill tell you someone who's Music/voice was massively over rated in my very humble opinion.... Elvis. He had showmanship. Alright to Good looking. Voice meh. He just came on the scene at the right time and got girls excited.
However, at the end of the day, when all is said and done... I agree with someone aboves comment that it really is subjective. But I'm right and you are all wrong.
It was all going so well.

The whole point of being a rock star.

That would have been me who said it, and I would have been right.
Then I was lead to "I'm right, she's left, she's gone". Which I probably shouldn't have done.

I didn't listen to a lot of hard rock as a kid. So my tastes are mostly hiphop and rnb. I like the classic rugby bus stuff too - Eagles, Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers etc but My favourite stuff is lo-fi hiphop as below. Nas & Damian Marley not really lo-fi but I've been listening to it all day today.

De La Soul did any number of cool stuff back in the day.

De La Soul and ATCQ are just so fucking good.
Nas too
Fuck i love really good hiphop

@mariner4life & @MN5 De La Soul is one of the great tragedies of the music industry. The only place you can get their original music is Youtube. Sometimes some will upload it to Soundcloud but it usually gets deleted soon after. Because of all of the unauthorised sampling on their early and best work its an infinite legal and royalties spiderweb.

I had similar experience, I took ages to come around to rock and grunge. My teens were all hip hop, rap, rnb. Cypress Hill, Snoop, NWA, plus all the way softer stuff like Bobby Brown, Boyz To Men, R Kelly (oops) etc

In saying that the 90s was the best era for rock bar none.

The 1970s followed by the 80s.
70s was undoubtedly great with some massive British bands....Zep, Floyd, Purple, Sabbath etc. But personally I liked American bands from the 90s better overall. Take your pick from Metallica, Gunners, Chillis, Rage, STP, FNM, Soundgarden, Foos, Alice in Chains etc.
The 80s had too many big hair bands but then again that was when AC/DC and Iron Maiden were at their best plus a few from the 90s list.

80s for metal, 90s for Grunge and Alternative

I've never been a one style of music guy. I used to mix it up often depending on what mates I was hanging out with, the brown ones it was more hip hop and rap in the 90s, the lighter skinned ones more rock, the fuckwits in my hostel meant I listened to way too much Counting Crows.
I used to thrash Outkast. Ms Jackson and Hey Ya were the 'big' singles from them but I always preferred the slightly smaller:
Bombs over Bagdad
I Like the Way You Move
I used to thrash Ghetto Supastar (and Return of the Mack) much to my flatmates disgust. It took me ages to figure out it was based on Islands in the Stream, I think I only figured it out when I was singing along one time and inadvertently started singing the Islands in the Stream lyrics. Also cracks me up that Ol' Dirty Bastard just stumbled into the recording studio by accident and then wound up being a key part of the track.

Ah what a song
