Who in your opinion is the best hard rock band of all time? Do you agree with how this list is laid out?

No it's a terrible list! The Beatles, Beach Boys, Elvis, CCR, Dylan, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Who, Eagles are not hard rock!!!! The Who is debatable but overall they are not hard rock in my opinion! ACDC is right up there as are Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin!!!! Black Sabbath may be considered as heavy metal but they also reside in the heavy rock or hard rock genre!
Hard Rock definition from Wikipedia:
Hard rock (or heavy rock) is a loosely defined subgenre of rock music which has its earliest roots in mid-1960s garage rock, blues rock and psychedelic rock. It is typified by a heavy use of aggressive vocals, distorted electric guitars, bass guitar, drums, and often accompanied with pianos and keyboards

in defense of the list
they didn't say hard rock, they said rock
from that perspective the list is not bad imo
why did Rachel say hard rock?
