Boomers: Beatles, eagles, Zeppelin, stones

Gen x: Aerosmith, AC/DC, Van Halen, GNR

millennial: Linkin Park, Nirvana, Bizkit, blink

Gen z: avenged sevenfold, Shinedown, five finger death punch, Greta Van fleet

Makes sense. I don't care for almost exactly half the bands on the list. What say you?

GenX here and Zeppelin is the best out of all of those and it isn't even close. From the millennial and GenZ lists I've only really listed to Nirvana.

For sure. If I were a ranking man I'd say: Zeppelin, Halen, Nirvana, death punch, acdc, avenged. Those last two, while incredibly talented musicians suffer from the "you've gotta be in the mood for it" kinda sound. Never been drawn in by any of the others, and actively avoid several.

No pink floydd? Id swap out aerosmith for metallica, and lip bizkit for green day or tool. I dont know anybody who listened to limp bizkit. I dont really like green day but they were huge in the mid to late 90s.

I was going to try to defend the lack of Floyd, but I've played it for my little ones. Though it's not exactly rock out rock. Yeah limp Bizkit sucked.

What world are you living in where GNR, Linkin Park and Bizkit aren't gay? I also disagree on the count of death punch being gay.

FFDP is beyond gay. They used to do hardcore shit, then they sold out so hard they started sounding like all the poppy radio bands.

Gayer than Linkin bizkit roses?

Missing slipknot, iron maiden, Metallica, black sabbath, and probably ten more that I'm not thinking of in the moment.

I'm not even sure blink, bizkit, and (to a lesser extent) LP should even be considered rock.

Zeppelin, Halen, ac/dc, and GNR definitely belong though.

Phish, grateful Dead, Alice in chains, Slayer, deep purple... Could be plenty of alternates. It's a very subjective list.

Nirvana is def a GenX band. This list is dumb. I’m GenX and I liked Zeppelin & Eagles more than anything on this list.

The grouping is based on which generation was in their teens when the group got big.
