What is the best band ever?

I can't say who is the best, but the bands that I am into are second to none.


ISIS ( "Panopticon" is divine. It's the torah that chants the real power of rock music )

T00L ( can't believe people here have metioned it a lot,surprised)

A Perfect Circle ( They have created the best music that I ever heard, I don't care if they can make more. )

Radiohead ( the only band that rocks softly in a way I like )

Metallica / Zeppelin ( Probably, they are the only bands, which are from main stream but can also tag my heart strings )


by the way, U2 is way too overrated, and Bon jovi is more pop than rock, bores me to death.

Everyone knows the top 5 of all time is;

1. The faggarts
2. Forbidden neKtar
3. Buck swingle and the tune time tards
4. Shit pistol
5. Neglected kitten

Beatles? Led zeppilin? The fuck? What are the chances well known bands would also be the best? That seems incredibly unlikely by my ridiculously immature reasoning.

As a Finn, I'd say YUP.

The two guys who've been singing prima vista pieces a cappella in my head for years aint bad either.

 

Hendrix, he was a living prophet, his songs are the only ones that actually make sense

 

*************
M*W: Com'on you guys. The Eagles and Queen are the best.

 

M*W, Queen definitely rocked. One of my favorites of all time. I used to get pumped up with them before a boxing match in college. God-damn, they were good for pumping me up!

 

my favorite band is the smashing pumpkins.
billy corgan,d'arcy,james iha,jimmie chamberlain.
check out a couple of their songs,for example
"bullit with butterfly wings" or "thru the eyes of ruby" or "x.y.u."
a great all around band.

 

*************
M*W: Cottontop, I saw Queen in concert in 1979-1980 in Frankfurt, Germany. That concert was to die for. Freddie Mercury was still alive, and that was one of the highlights of my rock'n'roll life!

 

AC/DC pre Brian Johnson era i.e Bon Scott era

 

I would have loved to have been there. Fleetwood Mac is another one of my favorites. I say that they are what helped me escape reality and get through West Point. They came to West Point and put on an awesome show in 1991, when I was a junior, as a tribute to the troops in Iraq for the first Gulf War. Mick Fleetwood had on his "drum suit" and ran through the audience banging his body to the music. Was fucking great.

 

My favourite female singer is Patti Smith with her albums from the 70s.
I haven't yet heard anything from later years, but I've heard from people that they're not bad too.

Well, I already mentioned the Beatles, but I forgot to mention Jethro Tull. Can't believe only one other person mentioned em in this thread!

Rock Band? Led Zeppelin.

...

Though historians will likely say The Beatles and Rolling Stones were more influential to the genre.

Personally, I grew up listening to Art Rock; Genesis/PGabriel, KCrimson, PFloyd, Rush, Yes, ELP, JTull, Queen, and even Kansas (Leftoverture hooked me).

 

i have changed my mind, the white stripes are good, but no-one tops Guns N' Roses. Slash was/is the best guitarist ever(seeing as he is now in another band) after Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Paige. Axl also has such amazing vocals especially on tunes such as "Sweet child o' mine" and "November Rain". Then of course there are the all time classics like "Welcome to the jungle" and "Paradise City".

"Civil War" is such a strong song and "patience" is just pure genius. I also like Tenacious D and other bands. TD are so funny especially "Tribute".

 

Yes, Guns N' Roses is definitely one of my favorites too.

Belle and Sebastian, but I don't expect too many people to agree with me.
