Y’all know what time it is? Yes, I started a little late this year (Santa, for Christmas I would like a calendar) but it’s here nonetheless.
Once again, the outline/rules:
Ten categories in which I shall rank top 10/15/20/etc of whatever fits that category. The results come from none other than you the voter. Easy enough, you send me via PM or email a list of your personal top 10 from each said category, and I tally. I decided, by reason of general confusion, to strike the “ballad” category and just throw everything in to “song.” Also a new category, suggested by a loyal voter, the all shiny “Riffs”.

Now to clear up the confusion that always strikes. This is call the Hard Rock Survey for a simple reason: no two people can decide on what the hell “metal” is. Problem i’ve faced though is that certain elitist consider “hard rock” and “metal” to be two completely divisible entities. Hence a name change was in order. Either way you categorize it, the eligible artists remains practically the same. As far back as Cream, as recent as you care. Now last year I allowed Pink Floyd, which I am now retracting (great band, but unfortuantely not heavy.)
If you are confused about this or any of the rules, feel free to drop me a line and I will try to clear it up. If you are unsure about a certain artist, do the same.

So without further ado:

Greatest Guitarists

Greatest Bassists

Greatest Drummers

Greatest Keyboardists

Greatest Vocalists

Greatest Songs

Greatest Albums

Greatest Live Albums

Greatest Cover Songs

Greatest Guitar Riffs

Greatest Artists

Voting will end sometime in May, or possibly June, but no set date as of yet.

Pink Floyd always seemed more progressive to me, but I don't know too many of their songs.

And, um...what is considered hard rock?

I say what I wanna say, I play how I wanna play.

Well like I said many people consider hard rock and metal to be two different things, so you'd say hard rock is everything that had a direct influence on but wasn't exactly metal. Examples would be Cream, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Kiss, Queen, Rush, BOC, Black Oak, Mountain, Budgie, Alice Cooper that sort of thing. Help out any?

Okay, I understand what you're saying. Thanks.

Dethklok!
Really? Hendrix and Cream are excellent bands, but are not heavy at all.... I think you might need some redefining; unless you mean heavy/metal 15 years ago. In which case the entire list would be Metallica. (I'm really just trying to be funny, I'll try to come up with a list; It's a long list...)
