Country:  | Hey Adler! How's tricks? I hope that you're having a joyful Christmas mate! True, heavy metal is a form of rock n' roll. BUT does that make it rock n' roll? I think that we can agree on one thing though Adler, a band that inspire people to start their own band, has to be a GREAT one, right? 
About the same a you mate:
Rockabilly
50's
60's
Some 70's and 80's
Surf music a' la Dick Dale and others
Blues
Give my very best to your family!

Country:  | I had to cast my vote for Zep...
I think there are bands today that exceed them in terms of technical proficiency, but there are very few that are able to cover the whole range of styles, and do it with passion...
I have seen a few bands - Yes, I have seen Zeppelin, but also The Stones, Queen, Metallica, AC/DC, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden and even ZZ Top - who, by the way, are fantastic live. But if I want to sit and actually listen to some music at home, then there is always a Zep tune to match my mood, and that is why they get my vote...

Country:  | I am currently listening to If you want blood by AC/DC.
Fantastic song and probably one of my favourites.....
I believe AC/DC's best selling album Back In Black was the Fifth highest selling album in the U.S of all time.....

For those who posted (and didn't post ed) an appreciation for Buddy Holly and Dick Dale might be interested to know this neat little factoid...
The is a highly accredited guitar school known as "G.I.T".
Bascially, you walk in knowing just enough about playing guitar to maybe play rhythm with your buddies after school and walk out as a Joe Satriani clone.
Anyway, guitar players I've known in the past say that the way they teach guitar at GIT is that the wrist is held stiff and in-line with the arm and the strumming motion actually comes from the entire forearm, thus you're bending at the elbow, not the elbow and wrist.
This is the "new" correct way of strumming. (  )
That style was also used by both Holly and Dale. If you watch any footage of those guys, especially Holly, you'll see that's exactly how they're playing and its said they were the inpetus of that style of strumming.

Country: | Correct way of strumming? That makes me laugh
I see you agree in the fact thats a load of B.S!
There is no 'correct' way in playing music. Posture and the hand on the neck is the only real areas that I see a certain attack being needed. I play shred and classical and my arm is almost still the whole time, my wrist is moving.
As far as Buddy goes it was basic blues chord proggressions, I, IV, V with the V being a leading chord back to I the songs could never end .

Country: | I love ABBA and selling 350 Million albums is awesome however they are not a 'rock' band in the true sense of the word.

Country: | ACDC getting alot of votes on the Poll.... I find Black in Black to be one of my lesser favorite ACDC Albums, but I am a huge Bon Scott fan, so it makes sense...
