Since I use to listen to a lot of late 80'S early 90's metal music my favorite would be Def Leppard and White Snake is up there along with Saxon.On a side note I saw on TV last night American Metal Rock monster Motley Crue signed some kind of legal agreement to break up and not go touring again,how strange :aaaaa46

Anybody see the Grammys? You had Black Sabbath introducing the remaining Beatles. Ozzy was like the best band ever and then he looks at Geezer and goes what best band then they all smirk and finish the introduction. It was pretty funny, but yet cool.

I saw but it must be said that The Beatles are Ozzy's favorite, or should I say favourite, band of all time.

Love The Beatles and they are tops on my music collection from the 50s on, but with The Stones still playing I would go with them.

I have always liked the police, they have a special sound about them. The drummer for the police "Stewart Copeland" is a tough sounding one of a kind style percussionist. He was ranked by a rolling stone magazine reader poll in 2010, as the fifth greatest drummer of all time.

Where would you rank Rick Allen trench? Has there ever been another one arm drummer before playing for a big time group?

He's a different type drummer, More of a slow slamming percussionist with a solid smashing tempo. Ya really can't say who's better than who at the pro level. But some people like some better than others, if they all were the same it would be boring. They are all different. Don't know if he ever made the rolling stone poll. But he's a dang good one. He got the nickname "Thunder god" on his miraculous comeback from his arm amputation. His left arm that he used for snare drum licks is now his left leg on a pedal that hits an electric drum that has the snare drum sound. Pretty nifty thinking by Rick. It was said he thought all of that out while laying in the hospital. He has a website called onestick Rick. I think that's what it's called. Check around, you will find it Bolt.

Always was and always will be the Beatles, but Queen had some of my favorite songs ever.
