Who's the Greatest Band EVER!!!!!

[BigUgly]

Fixed

I have to agree with the original post. Tool does suck. You can say whatever you want about me for thinking that, but it is what it is. They have this cult following that makes them seem more liked than they should be. I respect the talent, but it just doesn't do it for me.

While I think some of the bands listed in this thread are good (except Tool), lets not go with who is your current favorite. We are talking about the "greatest band of ALL time". We have to look at who influenced a generation the most and who made the biggest impact. I think Iron Maiden(like them or not) probably influenced the new generation of rock the most with the melody. They bridged the 70's to the 80's, totaly different sound of rock. The Beatles certainly should have been listed, somewhere. Sabbath was just too dark and gloomy for the masses.

I still vote for Skynyrd though.

 

[two_hearted]

Pearl Jam?

You are correct, sir.

 

[passedpawn]

Live

 

[Homercidal]

I know they are too obvious, so I'll just come out and say it:

Van Halen


The new album should be coming out soon, so yes, they are still "current".

Right but the name of the thread isn't "troll the guys who like bands you don't". Lots of people named that band, so it was obviously a d!ck move especially considering how personal many people consider their choice of music. Tool isn't for everybody, but for those who like a poetic element to their metal, and have the patience for a song to unfold, it doesn't get much better.

I would have to say Metallica by a mile actually..

 

[commonsenseman]

Wasn't meaning to be that guy, I was more just giving those who think that Tool is the best band ever a hard time. Obviously you're free to like anything you want, I just prefer other stuff.

I have to agree with Metallica, they've sure stood the test of time.

I like Metalica too, but Lars is a tool.

To be honest, I have never listened to Tool, but I never thought I would like Korn either. Their version of Another Brick in the Wall kicks azz. :rockin:

I was just trying to have alittle fun with Tool, no disrespect intended.

Yep he's definitely a real d!ckknuckle but you can't deny the success of the band. I think they probably have most other bands outnumbered 2-1 on ripping guitar solos.

I've never listened to Korn because the guys who listened to them also like Insane clown posse which I think is the worst "band" to ever make an album, so I kind of wrote them off, but I might have to give em a try. Any album recommendations?

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Mumford and Sons.

I agree on the Metalica solos and power riffs. "Enter Sandman" is a classic riff. Want to hear some great solo's? Listen to some of Molly Hatchet's stuff. Doesn't get any better than "Dreams I'll never see", "Gatorcountry" and their version of "FreeBird" to name a few. The early stuff with Dave Hlubek, Duane Roland (RIP) and Steve Holland is hard to beat. Plus, Bobby Ingram is a friend of mine.

I don't actually own any of Korn albums, I buy singles from Itunes. Here is a sample. Be sure to turn the volume all the way up first. haha

Mastodon or Animals as Leaders. Bunch of f-ing talent up in there. I'm tired of the old fogie rock.

Ditto this. Boognish rules all.

 

[artyusmc]

one the only The WHO

 

[dawgmatic]

I like most music,
but Beck wins without a doubt

 

[JoeyChopps]

I'm going with Bob Marly. He is the only musician that changed a style and could have changed the world if he lived longer.

 

[jfuriosi]

Public Enemy.

 

[StittsvilleJames]

Greatest band: The Tragically Hip
Greatest songwriter: Leonard Cohen

And it ain't even close yo!

 

[Sean]

Leonard Cohan makes me want to jump out the window.

 

[Sean]

Best - Rock: maybe Stones or Beatles or maybe The Band.

Best - Best: Miles Davis Sextet.

 

[StittsvilleJames]

Leonard Cohan makes me want to jump out the window.

Exactly...beause you feel it in your soul. That's what music is about!

Completely agree on this, Layne Staley version though

 

[Borisbbadd]

Pink Floyd

 

[clamflats]

this question is like trying to name just ONE SONG as the best. too many to choose from and too many different styles

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band. Still going strong and still making new tunes and still packing the biggest venues across the country after all these years.


BTW : Metallica= blech. Just my humble opinion.

I think Ozzy sucks bad, but I refrain from badmouthing him because he's just been around so damn long..
