4 AC/DC - Back In Black
3 Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe
2 Black Sabbath - Paranoid
1 Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

This list was much easier than best song. For those I didn't list, either I didn't know enough about the band (Bad Brains) or just had no clue what would be their most famous song (Frank Zappa).

Frank Zappa's famous would be "Valley Girl."

Props to Old Style - that's a lot of work buddy!

What can I say? I'm a music junkie and I hate my job.

50 Slayer - Raining Blood
53 Korn - Freak On A Leash
63 Boston - Peace Of Mind
80 Green Day - Basket Case

"Sharleena" or "You Are What You Is" for Zappa

"Over My Head" for KX

"God of Love" would get my vote for Bad Brains, but most folks would pick some of their early stuff.

King's X

1) their most famous song - Black Flag

2) their best song - We Were Born to be Loved

VH ahead of GNR? Game over.

As for the Pixies, their most famous song -- not necessarily their best -- was "Where Is My Mind?" because of its inclusion in "Fight Club." That's the one that's get covered; that's the one the crowds sing along with in concert.

You, sir, are a moron. VH was much more successful and influential in rock and roll. Guns had 1 great album and 2 so-so albums. Van Halen has many great albums and didn't hve a bad one until Gary Cherone was added to the band.

haha i get it now. nice name chinese democracy.

axl rose can lick my scrotum.

Frank Zappa's famous would be "Valley Girl."

But his best would be "Titties & Beer" from the Live in New York Album. Trust me. I first heard it in Junior High and still remember the lyrics today.

I'm not a huge Tool fan, but putting them at 88 with some of the bands they have in front of them is questionable at best.

Kiss is way to high, Who are better than Metallica and AcDc, and Jimi should be above Black Sabbath

great thread, thanks Old Style!

Purple Haze

I was right. I was having a brain fart. That is way down on my list of favorite Hendrix tracks. I guess that's why it didn't come to mind. I figured it had to be something widely known.
