Rock and Grunge are both genres which are pretty prevalent still to this day! Which band comes out on top here at Lowellville? We created a survey of 24 bands that are some of the most popular and influential bands. These included Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Type O’ Negative, Pantera, My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails, Beastie Boys, Weezer, Green Day, Pink Floyd, Guns N’ Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, AC/DC, Metallica, and Iron Maiden.
In the first round there were 12 winners. These 12 winners were Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queen, Journey, The Beatles, Pantera, Linkin Park, Beastie Boys, Green Day, Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Metallica. Obvious winners were Nirvana, Foo Fighters, The Beatles, Queen, Journey, and Metallica because these bands are still very popular today. These are classic rock and grunge bands that continue to influence new artists. In my personal opinion one surprise that shocked me was AC/DC not making it past round one.
In round two we had six winning bands: Nirvana, Queen, The Beatles, Linkin Park, Pink Floyd , and Metallica. This was a surprising mix of classic rock, grunge, and heavy metal. One surprise was Linkin Park making it into the second as it isn’t as popular of a band as some of the other bands in this round.
The winning bands in the final round were Queen, Metallica, and the Beatles. All three remaining bands put up a good fight. Unfortunately, only one could win the top spot. The band who pushed through and won all four rounds was Metallica. Metallica was not a surprising win, however, it was a little surprising that Nirvana did not make it into the top three favorites.
Great music lasts a test of time, and considering how long some of these bands have been around, it’s a great tribute to them to know they have so many younger fans. We love and recommend that everyone listen to these bands, if you haven’t heard some of them, take a listen to them. There is plenty of variety and good music for fans to choose from. We are happy that Metallica won, although we expected The Beatles or Nirvana to come out on top. Some of our favorites include grunge favorite, Nirvana, and the popular classic rock group, Fleetwood Mac. Again, any and all of these bands are great so check them out!
