Batman Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Do you consider your favorite bands the best bands? I do for some, don't for some. Like Nirvana, I like them, but not one of the best bands. Or Zeppelin, like them, one of the best bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Of course all my faves equal the best! Roxy Music? The best! Cabaret Voltaire? The best! Japan? The best! Depeche Mode? Um... the best :: Duran Duran? Best There are some that I could consider "the best" even if they're nowhere near my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Or Zeppelin, like them, one of the best bands. Agreed. I'd say the same for Pink Floyd & Rolling Stones, etc. Not because many others enjoy them as well, or have them rated highly for that account, but because they really are gifted musicians. Not every band I listen to, I feel is the best, many I enjoy at different volumes, because they?re what pertains to me, but doesn?t necessarily reflect upon another?s listening tastes. I like many of the bands XXX posted for example, but I don?t feel that they?re the absolute best, even though they have shown that capacity in their specific genres of art.

Danielj Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Yeah, like the Ramones( :(R.I.P.J.) I like them but they certainly aren't the best, they aren't as talented. Now, Pink Floyd is my #1, and I do consider them the best. They have it all. Great bassist, Amazing guitarist, great keyboardist and a gutbusting drummer. They have the lyrics down and they have created musical masterpieces such as The Dark Side Of The Moon. Rush, too have to be one of the best. Think about it. Best drummer of all-time IMO, Great guitAarist, One of the best bassists, and the singing of course. I guess you like it or you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I love The Doors, Pearl Jam, and The Cult, but I know there are better bands out there than the bands I favor. Some people hate them...that's okay. Led Zeppelin, Rush and Pink Floyd are such phenomenal bands, and like The Doors, they were ahead of their time, but I do have to admit that Led Zeppelin is a better band than The Doors.

Batman Posted September 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 good point Cyberdemon. But Rolling Stones are considered the best, I don't really like too much of them. BTW, I like your new location! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Yes. Everything I like is the best, which is why I like it. Naturally. Why else would one buy and spend time listening to crap? I don't like a lot of bands that others consider the best. The stuff I listen to is the best of what I like. Now, if you mean best all around, objectively, you'll hit a wall because it's all judged subjectively. Plus, it's not like you can compare the rawness of Punk with the perfect studio synchronization of ProgRock, so now we have different kinds of "best" and talent. In the world of Electronica and Futurist-Noise, Cabaret Voltaire are one of the best. You can't be into the genre and not like them or at least own a few of their albums. Same with Depeche Mode. Any SynthPop fan will have most of their albums and like them... and so on and so forth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Yes. Everything I like is the best, which is why I like it. Except Dream Theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I agree with Zack that Dream Theatre are talented, just listen to Mike Portnoy's drum & percussion sessions on any track from Images & Words or Live at Marquee, especially Metropolis . Petruci (sp?) is one of the best modern day guitarists I've heard, this is an exceptional neoprog band, but I still wouldn't say they're the best.

Jillianne Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 The Manic Street Preachers!! Rock my socks off, seriously under-rated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielj Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I have to agree with Gilliann here. She sent me four songs and they all ROCK HARD!!! Definetly give'm a listen everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCyberdemon Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I didn't just say they were talented. Let me get two things straight. 1) My name is Zach, not Zack. 2) Dream Theater is my FAVORITE band, not my best band ever(IMO.) I have to admit, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin are the two best bands ever. You can trace almost everything I listen to, back to LZ. And of course, you can trace all the wuss rock bands back to The Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Jefferson Airplane (and some Starship) has been my favourite band for years, decades even. I admit they´re not the best, but Grace Slick is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 I was just kidding about Dream Theatre. I'm not really a big fan of that kind of music, but they have talent. I have heard a few songs off some Train album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Ramones not the best? I think that they are the top of their style of music. As far as unique sound and influence go, the Ramones ARE the best. You can name lots more bands that the Ramones have influenced than bands Pink Floyd has influenced (not knocking Pink Floyd - they are best at what they do too.)

Levis Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 IMO most of my favourite bands aren't the best for various reasons. nirvana...influential, but ultimately just a garage band. blind molon, crash test dummies, lemonheads, soul asylum, kula shaker...underrated but still not the BEST. in more recent times i like the goo goo dolls... impressive but... However i believe that u2 and rhcp are incapable of making a bad song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrampledUnderFoot Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Most of my bands are the best at what they do...Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Who, Jimi Hendrix The Ramones, The Doors, KISS I love Styx and Supertramp, but I know they arent the best. still like 'em tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymahoe Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 The bands i love are considered the greatest: Beatles- the greatest of all time Led zeppelin- Probably top 20, or top ten Jimi Hendrix-Simialr to led zep Rolling stones- Considered right behind the beatles by man The Doors- Not always considered top 2o, but for me there top 5 So in general i like the artists who are considered the greatest.
