For this list the saying “The show must go on” definitely applies
-
Queen and AC/DC forever! Legends never die! R.I.P. Freddie Mercury R.I.P. Bonn Scott
-
AC/DC was the only band to really flourish after getting a replacement singer though.
-
AC/DC has to be the most successful lead singer taker over of a band ever when you consider how integral to their sound Bon Scott was and now how integral to their sound Brain Johnson is
-
The Doors tried without Jim Morrison but it was short-lived.
-
The plane crash that killed Skynyrd’s members was in 1977, not 1997.
-
Queen survived only because of the huge amount of respect everyone has for them and what they did for music.
-
Joy Division turning into New Order is my fav. Both bands are fabulous.
-
There will never be any replacements for Scott Weiland, Layne Staley, Chester Bennington, or Freddy Mercury
-
Even though there will NEVER be another Freddie Mercury Adam Lambert does a wonderful job.
-
I saw Queen with Adam Lambert in 2019 and was shocked by how amazing Adam fills in for Freddie.
-
I pretty much agree. Alice in Chains is probably #1 for me as it hit me hard as a kid being a fan since the Dirt album. Too bad Soundgarden didn't make the list but that band never reformed 😞.
-
I’m guessing AC/DC with Bon Scott to Brian Johnson will be in the top 3 Edit: it was Number 1
-
No one , nobody can replace the legendary chester bennington of linkin park though!
-
To this day, I wonder if this can still be done for Linkin Park? Once an LP fan, ALWAYS an LP fan. Sure helped me through tough times in freshman year in high school.
-
R.I.P. Michael Hutchence, the greatest front man in Australian music history!
-
I saw Queen + Adam Lambert twice in 2019, they have amazing chemistry together. :D
-
Thank you for including INXS! My favorite band. I feel like they have been forgotten in some ways and don't get the respect/credit they deserve, even with as much as they've influenced other artists and have had their songs covered by so many.

New Order!! 🙌🏻🎶💪🏻❤️💥🎉
