"AC/DC is one of the best bands that started in their time period. A lot of their songs are samey but they are still good to listen to.
Alice cooper's School's out is one of the most known AC if not one of the most known songs around.
Never heard of Lordi, they sound cool, but I wouldn't say modern classic rock, more modern hard rock.
Nirvana was one of the first bands to start the whole Grunge phase, more commonly now known as EMO.
Linken Park wasn't too bad when they started out, decent if you will, but I could care less for them. Techincally it's their "5th" album, 3rd with actual new songs, the other two were remixes and another cd with remixes.

I...am amazed by how boldly untrue so many of these statements are. = /1. Lordi sucks fucking balls. For anyone to actually like their music, you would need to be both tone-deaf and have a death wish. Most people will end up agreeing with said statement, and if you don't...then you are going to be the reason for the de-evolution of our world.
2. AC/DC is kick ass because of the fact that they just kick ass. They are kick ass doods that always, ALWAYS, A L W A Y S puts on a kick ass show. They write songs about kick ass stuff, like kicking ass and fucking. Frankly, they can do no wrong...even if they are 60 years old and running around in school boy outfits.
3. Nirvana was a "for the times" thing. They weren't one of the first bands to "start" the Grunge phase. They were simply the ones that became mainstreamed. Meat Puppets and a dozen others were doing it long before Nirvana. The record label just found them to be marketable, and the cover for Nevermind helped throw the controversy out there. Mix that with the reaction of the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" music video launching a new "look" for people to follow, and BAM! Otherwise, their music for the most part is absolutely nothing special unless you lived through it all (which I did).
4. "School's Out" may be the most known AC song in your book, but it doesn't mean he's any good. Actually, he's nothing but a personality and that's it. He's even admitted that himself. I've even told him that face to face (as I met him and sold him Mudvayne's L.D. 50 when I worked at the Best Buy on Camelback and 26th in Phoenix AZ), and he doesn't mind. He knows it. It doesn't mean I hate him for it, because the dood knew how to sell shock culture well. Despite that, he's not a musician. He's simply a dood that knows how to stir up some shit. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to do that for a while, and the last possible "quality" song he put out was probably "Feed my Frankenstein", which is only really known because of its ties to the Wayne's World movie. Without Guitar Hero featuring his music, I doubt most young people would even care about who he is.
5. Linkin Park has three albums, period. Remix albums do not count, whether you'd like them to or not. If you talk about White Zombie's chronology, you don't include Supersexy Swingin' Sounds. It's a remix album. The same goes for Reanimation and the LP/Jay-Z hybrid. You also don't include any forms of EPs or singles w/ rare b-sides. They were on a good run with the first two albums, as they didn't stray too far from what they did but were still able to appeal to the mainstream. I saw them long before the release of Hybrid Theory at the Celebrity in Phoenix, and it was an absolutely incredible show. Saw them again after the release of Meteora, and they were better than the first time. Unfortunately, the moment I heard the entirety of the new album, I wanted to puke. I don't know what happened to those guys, but it was literally painful to see a band make that drastic of a change. It was like watching Silverchair go from Diorama to Young Modern. Absolute waste of potential. = /
Now, getting back to topic: AC/DC is the greatest band of all time. Why? Because they wrote the greatest song of all time.
