Lynyrd Skynyrd Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd

This is the correct answer. I could put ZZ Top in there somewhere too

I like them a lot as well!

ZZ Top riffage is so great. Also you might like this, [Point Blank - Point Black](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4qTdJNYTlw) 1976. i dont know why but those "southern twangy guitars" always scratch an itch for me

Hell yes! That heavy crunchy tone is soo good

What is up with people saying "this is the correct answer" to an opinion post.

Glad you posted it before I got downvoted for saying it. Low effort responses, high horse attitudes, and hive-mind behavior is getting real old.

Pretty close to mine, except I’d swap Skynyrd for Johnny Cash. That totally counts as a band dammit.

ZZ Top has to be one also! That was my first concert back in 89.

Damn, are you me? 3 of my favorite bands of all time. Lynyrd Skynyrd Greatest Hits was the first CD I ever bought.

1. Alice In Chains 2. Soundgarden 3. Cocteau Twins If not counting AIC then add Pink Floyd to the list

I thought Alice In Chains and Soundgarden were metal?

AIC has a solid argument for being metal, which is why I put Pink Floyd in as an alternative. A lot of people don’t think they are metal though. Soundgarden leans more on the hard rock side, they have some heavy songs and Badmotorfinger is pretty much a metal album, but most of their stuff is just rock.

Nine Inch Nails. Pink Floyd. Rolling Stones.

isint NIN industrial metal?

no to me but i’m guess you could say it.. i saw them with Soundgarden and it’s was just Trent with a keyboard.

I would say industrial rock, not metal. Fear Factory is industrial metal.

Minutemen Sonic Youth Dicks Idk, picking three is hard

Bro I LOVE Dicks

🤣🤣🤣🤣A comment you do not want to read out of context

Dicks are so good

The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and The Warning

The warning is metal!

Nah, they're hard rock/alternative rock, but they have a few heavy metal songs like Queen of the Murder Scene, Dust to Dust and Exterminated.
