Top 3 Best Legendary Rock Bands

Many artists have revolutionized music over the years, but I especially look at the rock and metal music. I admire many rock artists, but the three that I quote in this ranking are for me the best of the best.

1. Motörhead

- Years active: 1975 - 2015

- Albums: 22

- First album: Motörhead (1977)

- Last Album: Bad Magic (2015)

- Saw them in live?: Oh yeah, twice!

- Members (and their years active in the band):

Lemmy Kilmister (Bass and Vocals) (1975 - 2015) (founder and leader of the band)

Billy Gibbons (Guitars and Lead vocals) (1969 - present) (founder of the band)

Dusty Hill (Bass and Back vocals) (1969 - present)

Frank Beard (Drums) (1969 - present)

- After nearly 50 years of career, ZZ Top is still active and one of the few groups to have never changed members over the years.
