1. Iron Maiden
2. AC/DC
3. Megadeth
4. Dream Theater

[Reise]

Rock/Metal is too huge to get just 5 from.

Especially since they're completely different genres.

Yeah SOAD is awesome, I own all their albums. I think they're first album is their best though.

Didn't System of A Down break up?

[Toshiharu]

Didn't System of A Down break up?

Nonsense.. it's just a permanent hiatus.

Nonsense.. it's just a permanent hiatus.

I'm sure they will get back together. I don't think they will succeed separated anyways.

[GaGa]

Any list without AC/DC and the Beetles just isn't a list!

-AC/DC; for having the second highest selling album of all time, behind Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
-The Beetles because they are, well, The Beetles. Probably the most famous band of all time.

[Kirkaldi]

Nirvana, Breaking Benjamin, Foo Fighters, CAKE, and Tokio Hotel are my favorite Rock/Metal bands.

[Crowley]

I'm guessing experimental/alternative and "laid back" rock all comes under Rock, therefore;

1. Circa Survive
2. Saosin
3. Escape the Fate
4. All-American Rejects
5. Cage the Elephant

iirc Serj and Daron's stuff together doesn't add up to a SOAD album. They made great music on their own, but was much better when they were together.

2. The Rolling Stones
3. Led Zeppelin
4. Pink Floyd
5. The Beatles
