If being an audiophile was a crime, I'd be serving three consecutive life sentences! Think you're an audiophile? Let know some of your favorite bands from across the decades!
Rules:
No random posting like "Me favaryte band be P!NK!!!!!"
You must structure your list like I did. Listing by something like genre or decade is the idea. If you can't handle this mentally, go away.
Note: You don't need to post a huge comprehensive list; you can just post something like your favorite band in certain genre for starters.

I think @Minotaur55 would agree with me that your options/genres are a bit...overarching. Too much of an umbrella for each. He'd be better at talking about it SO HOPEFULLY HE DOES>.<
Metal, Post Grunge, & Foreign
Also a few things..
1) these three things are COMPLETELY different from each other
2) about half your list doesn't even fit with these descriptions anyhow
No Doubt
Not pop - 3rd wave Ska/rock
Silversun Pickups
Also not pop, but alternative/shoegaze
The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Not classic rock - Alternative rock/psychedelic rock
I agree with pang... some of these artists are not associated with their specifications according to your list. To break down:
Classic Rock
The Red Hot Chili Peppers is an alternative rock band. Ever since their conception they have fused elements rooting from punk, and alt rock is a fusion between traditional rock (and it's variations) and punk. They also haven't had much association to Creedence, Fleetwood Mac, The Beetles, etc. Red Hot Chili Peppers should be under 90's rock.
No Doubt
Ska-punk. Their latest album was more pop oriented but that is mostly Stefani's influence and transition. Their classics are mainly ska-punk.
Silversun Pickups
Another alt rock band with a dream pop transition.
Böhse Onkelz
90's rock... foreign, but still. Also Breaking Benjamin is a rock group, not post grunge or metal. The punk and metal scenes did not come close to a fusion until the early 90's in U.K.
Also... Avenged Sevenfold is more of a rock/punk band than an actual metal band. The modern metal scene mainly deals with alt/nu metal... they've also been more of an influence to hard rock bands.
I totally understand what you guys are saying, but many of these bands are unique in their own specific way, and I am often mislead as to which genre a band entirely belongs to: for example, Led Zeppelin's music contains everything from the sounds of classic rock and heavy metal to infusions of southern blues rock sounds. And to complicate things, when I research bands, sources often have conflicting information. Can't a band with a wide range of music and sounds belong to more than one genre? Artists have been known to start off playing a certain kind of music, and then end playing music of an entirley different kind later on.
Even before you guys could respond, I began to make changes to my list (the one I have on paper) I didn't get to this one in time. My mistake was trying to make this comprehensive list in 10 minutes, let's work past the mistakes and continue with this thread. All good?
