clskrk Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 As with most here, NPO, Hendrix Doors Who Pink Floyd Yes Traffic Genesis Emerson, Lake & Palmer Crosby, Stills & Nash Elton John I'm surprised none of these last five have been mentioned... Especially ELP & Elton John...
Nick_Burke Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 I can't beleive that no-one has even mentioned Deep Purple!
XXX Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 That's a tough one, but lemme give it a shot. In no particular order: Led Zeppelin The Who David Bowie Roxy Music The New York Dolls Queen Rush Credence Clearwater Revival Foreigner Journey (w/Steve Perry)
TheCyberdemon Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 Red Hot Chilli Peppers (these guys actually are my fav band) System of A Down Coal Chamber Tsunami Bomb Led Zeppelin (Achillies Last Stand Is the best song) Static-X Slipknot Audioslave Rage against the machine (music not politics) No Doubt Man, have my tastes changed... slightly. New list. In order. Dream Theater Led Zeppelin Hendrix, and The Experience Red Hot Chilli Peppers White Zombie Rob Zombie Dead Kennedys Tsunami Bomb Static-X Kittie
MindCrime Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 The Beatles The Rolling Stones The Who Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd (Coincidence that they're all British? I think not...) Agreed on those being the best, & it's no coincidence that they're British, unless you include the American grown influences, such as Chuck Berry & Bill Haley. Remember it was America who invented Rock & Roll, it was the U.K. who adapted to it & made it better.
TheCyberdemon Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 Zeppelin might be British, but they get credit as an america band.
cosmosis Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 Doors and Velvet Undergroung are missing from that list. And you can take The Who out

Danielj Posted October 10, 2004 Report Posted October 10, 2004 Doors and Velvet Undergroung are missing from that list. And you can take The Who out Even thought the middle is down, whenever I see that smiley and someone says something i disagree with, I always think it's giving me the finger :beady: ::
TheCyberdemon Posted October 10, 2004 Report Posted October 10, 2004 Some kid is telling me I'm wrong? The nerve.
DiggsUK Posted October 10, 2004 Report Posted October 10, 2004 Let me see, in no particular order: Led Zep (up to IV) Deep Purple (with Ian Gillan) Black Sabbath (with the Prince of Darkness) Oasis (despite the Manc prat at the front) The Stooges Rolling Stones (up to mid 70s) The Faces/Small Faces (despite dodgy hippy bits) Rush (up to and inc. Moving Pictures) The Jam Free Lots more besides, but these were the originators of something special. I could add bands like Joy Division, New York Dolls, The Clash, Bowie/Ronson, Charlatans, The Smiths, Velvet Underground and many others but I can only choose 10. Regards
rkfan413 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 first off, i'd like to say how glad i was not to see Nirvana on that list or any other overrated band. but i think CCR should be on the list
_jr_ Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 This, like all the lists in this forum, are subjective to one's musical tastes. The best? My favorites? Most influential?It's all about what whets your musical palate, I suppose. I'll weigh in with my picks for the best bands of all time. Some may not be considered rock, but hey, that doesn't mean they weren't good. The guidelines I'll use are a broad scope. Were they interesting musically? Did they influence the next generation of musicians in some way? Was it quality work for a sustained period of time? Or was it something as simple as they just made me tap my foot? Well, in any regard, here goes. In no order, of course. The Who Stevie Ray Vaughan The Police Van Halen Aerosmith (not the crap from 1988 to today) Fleetwood Mac Pink Floyd Lynyrd Skynyrd The Stones The Beatles Queen So, that's 11. So sue me. These are all groups that did quality work for over a decade. (well, if you count the Beatle's solo careers) Some were more accomplished, musically, than others. Some were more creative than others. But overall, I like my list.
TheCyberdemon Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 So, that's 11. So sue me. Good thing I have my lawyer on speed dial.
miamisammy29 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Mr. Ownsdega, you are under arrest for excessive band nomenclature. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present at the time of questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided to you at government expense. Do you understand these rights? Seeing as your choices are clear cut and relevant to the music world, I can guarantee you will get off with a relatively small fine, and it is highly unlikely that you will serve any time in prison. Hey! Wait! The Police!? The Police!? Are you mocking me with this choice? Where the hell is my nightstick!? Better yet, I have my Taser in the trunk. Don't move.
_jr_ Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 I like the Police. Like with most of the artists I listed, their best stuff is what you never hear on the radio. You know those Miranda Rights pretty well....hhhmmmm. Mr. Ownsdega.
CaptainMikeRS Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 My 10 best would be: Rush U2 Journey The Eagles Dream Theater Genesis Emerson, Lake and Palmer Styx Yes Billy Joel
miamisammy29 Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 I like the Police. Like with most of the artists I listed, their best stuff is what you never hear on the radio. You know those Miranda Rights pretty well....hhhmmmm. Mr. Ownsdega. Actually, I love the Police (the band). I hate Sting by himself, though. The "mocking me" meant that I was acting as the coppers...you know, with the Miranda rights and all... And, yeah, I've heard that Miranda jibberish more than a couple times....as if it really means something. I haven't heard them since I was a teenager, but I still remember them right down to the last word.
