Some of the Most Influential Rock Bands to Ever Step on the Face of This Planet

For most of the people out there, music is everything. While some couldn’t live without it, some use it as a medium to focus on certain tasks like writing, house chores, and whatnot. The bottom line is music completes us, and it really doesn’t matter what kind of genre you are into; you are most likely to uplift your mood by simply hearing a track or two. 

Music has a world of its own, and in that world, we’ve got many different genres – ranging from rock to EDM and everything in between. In this particular post, we’ll be addressing some of the most amazing and the best rock bands that made a big impact on their listeners. 

Here’s a list of bands that we think hold the G.O.A.T status in the world of music. 

• The Beatles

There’s no denying The Beatles are the best and most important band in rock music history. Three guys from Liverpool – John Lennon, George Harrison, and Paul McCartney came together in 1960, absorbed and recapitulated American rock ‘n’ roll and British pop, and ended up leaving a mark in our heads.

Songs you must listen to: Yesterday, Strawberry Fields Forever, I Want to Hold Your Hand, and In My Life. 

• The Rolling Stones 

Started by boyhood friends Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, along with guitarist Brian Jones and pianist Ian Stewart, The Rolling Stones hit the books in 1962. Just after a year, in 1963, the band released its first single, a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Come On” that apparently went to No. 21 in the UK. 

Songs you must listen to: Angie, Wild Horses, Paint It Black, Gimme Shelter, and Jumpin’ Jack Flash.

• Pink Floyd 

When it comes to naming down some of the most eccentric, experimental multi-platform, and the best rock music bands of the album rock era, one can’t simply miss out on Pink Floyd. This is one of those bands that put R&B and hard rock on the table, and it looks like nothing has changed a bit at all. 

Some of the best songs of Pink Floyd: Have a Cigar, Brain Damage, Money, and Shine On You Crazy Diamond

• Led Zeppelin 

In their run of over 10 years, nine album career from 1969-79, Led Zeppelin was the most popular rock group in the world. You’d be surprised to know that in their career, they sold more than 50 million records in the US alone and more than 200 million worldwide. 

Some songs you should listen to: In My Time of Dying, Thank You, No Quarter, Going to California, and Good Times Bad Times
