Digg it!If music is religion, these bands are the gods.
They are the good boys of rock and roll.
They rock, they curse in their lyrics, they say the f word in interviews but that is the extent of their “bad boy” genes. They diss nobody, if they do criticize others, they do it constructively, they don’t subscribe to the ‘I’ll destroy the hotel, I’m a rock star attitude’, their private lives are private.
Boring? You judge.
10. Slipknot
They have been very critical of commercialism but come on, that’s not being bad. They just hate commercialism. They are actually “victims” of it because they have sold millions of records.
Despite their black attire, gory masks, hardly comprehensible lyrics, they don’t really get into fights with anyone. They don’t talk shit about anyone or anyone’s ideology. They just… mind their own business.
They even expressed gratitude to the Grammy’s when they got one.
9. Jon Bon Jovi
Alright, before you talk shit about Bon Jovi, stop. I ain’t here to discuss if they really are a rock band or not.
They have been dissed and insulted by so many bands out there – newbies and veterans alike but they never talked back.
What’s more? They are still together after decades of rockin’ it.
Hmmm, at least half of the band admitted to cheating on their wives. I dunno… cheating?
8. The Beach Boys
One of them had a lunacy attack of some sort but that’s hardly being bad.
Their music is peachy sweet. No rumbles, no punching paps.
They just might cure me of insomnia… unless they start using their lunacy as an excuse to destroy every stop sign in the U.S. and piss on stage in the middle of his performance?
7. Dave Matthew Band
This is one of those bands that have stood the test of time. Alright, you can’t call them the hard rockin’ band that people swarm to when they walk the streets but man, do they make some good music.
They are still intact and there has been no news about in-band squabbles or shit like that. They make music, they sing, they do their awesome thing and then they go home to their families.
Come on Dave, you’ve been around for two decades. If that is not a free pass to commit at least one DIU, I don’t know what is.
6. Eagles
Even when they broke up no one said anything bad about anyone because there was nothing bad about anyone.
When they were apart, they remain friends and when they felt like they were ready to rock, they went back to each other.
You’ve never heard about them dissing each other or dissing other people. No incidents of collapsing on stage because they were too high to play. No moments of hitting the fans with charis or their musical instruments.
They’re good guys… well, except that Hotel California song that practically screams “long live hell!”.

I was getting kind of irritated with this top ten until I saw who was number one. Amd though I agree with you, there is one band that NEEDS to be listed here: U2. Come on, they’ve been the same four guys for almost thirty years. Only one member has got in trouble for drugs but cleaned up really quickly. They are giving, part of. Numerous foundations and they STILL put on the best show EVER. They’re good to their fans and stay true to their sound.
