Rock and Roll, which emerged in the mid-1950s, was mainly influenced by rhythm and blues, country music and Tin Bang Alley music. Much of the early rock music was a cover of black rhythm and blues, so rhythm and blues was its main foundation. Here are the greatest rock bands in the world.

1. Suede

In 1993, Suede's first self-titled album, Suede, was released, which immediately became the fastest-selling album in British history. There's no denying that Suede was an influential British band of the 1990s.

They have made outstanding contributions to the growth and development of British indie rock music and are considered to be one of the greatest bands in Britain after the Roxy and The Smiths.

2. Bon Jovi

The commercialization of rock music is a process that its development must go through, and in this process, the American Bon Jovi band combines idols and rock and rolls, creating great commercial value.

Bon Jovi has achieved amazing results since its inception. Bon Jovi has been hailed as one of the most successful rock bands in the world for over two decades.

3. Metallica

In the late 1970s, "heavy metal" music was in its heyday in the European and American rock music scene. At this time, a unique music genre suddenly appeared: thrash metal, which hit the music scene like a torrent.

The founder of this genre was the metal band Metallica. Without a doubt, Metallica is undoubtedly the most prominent and influential heavy metal band in the world from the 1980s to the present.

4. Guns N’ Roses

The gully between music and real life buried the fragrance of roses. Guns N' Roses was born in Hollywood in 1985. Their fast songs are exciting, and their tenderness is also moving. The five albums and one live album they have released are all critically acclaimed heavyweights.

The most influential track "DON'T CRY" stayed on the billboard chart for nearly 3 years, creating a myth of rock music.

5. Nirvana

Nirvana was formed in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987. In 1988, they signed to Sub Pop Records. In 1989, they released their debut studio album, Bleach. In 1991, they signed with Geffen Records and released the studio album Nevermind, which sold over 30 million copies worldwide.

In 1992, they released the compilation album Incesticide. In 1993, they won the 13th Brit Awards for Best International Emerging Artist and released their studio album In Utero. On April 4, 1994, Kurt Cobain committed suicide and the band disbanded.

6. U2

Without a doubt, U2 were the greatest British and Irish rock group of the 1980s, and the entire 80s was dubbed the decade of U2 by Rolling Stone magazine. U2, which originated in Ireland, began their musical journey in 1977, and U2 has been committed to causes such as anti-war and freedom.

"War" established U2 as a pioneering leader in the field of politically conscientious music, and it also justified the name of rock and roll that was misunderstood by the world as grumpy, venting, and dirty. U2 has won multiple Grammy Awards and has sold nearly 150 million albums worldwide.

7. Queen

No rock music fan dares to admit that he does not know or like Queen, because Queen has made a milestone contribution to the development of European and American rock music. In 1972, Queen was formed in the UK, and the most successful art rock band in the world was born.

They perfectly combine classical music, opera, art rock, and progressive rock, so that their music has the majestic momentum of classical music without losing the tough style of rock.

8. The Rolling Stones

When it comes to the Rolling Stones, no one doubts their greatness. The Rolling Stones, founded in 1963, are more aggressive and rebellious than another great band of their time, The Beatles. They are born bad boys, wild and uninhibited, with a sharp and cunning breath everywhere.

It can be said that they are the representatives of egocentrism in the later hippie movement. 1968's "Beggars Banquet" and 1969's "Let It Bleed" were the Rolling Stones' culmination and also began their struggle against The Beatles.

In April 1971, the band established its own label "Rolling Stone" record company, thus creating a milestone in the entire pop music industry.
