    I also go with Led Zeppelin.

    Not yet, but I watched my friend's copy. It rocks the casbah. Make sure you have your TV hooked up to good speakers.

Bungle.......yeah.....um....what can i say...they are the best band ever.........what can you say?.....you cant because...they are...the best band...in the world...oh i mean ever. i dare someone who has actually listened to Disco Violenta (released in 1995) tell me that they are not the most talented, technical, ridiculously amazing band in the world...the only other bands that can hold a flame to them is estradasphere and frank zappa......thank you, goodnight

    I agree with mars. The Floyd aren't soft rock. They were psychedelic/a bit rockish. Hendrix definitely isn't soft rock.

    No. 1 = The Beatles and ABBA

    Damn right they are (even if you were joking)!.......But they didn't actually exist, the same way the bradys weren't a real family. But they're my favourite group of all time but thye best group of all time would have to be the beatles. They kick some serious magical mystery arse! But they're followed very closely by ABBA. actually, ABBA are tied No. 1 with the beatles.

    I think what Mars is trying to say is that Pink Floyd is not a very heavy band. I'm not a huge collector so maybe they have a stash of stereo-busting rockers somewhere, but classics such as "Wish you were here", "Comfortably Numb", "Time" etc. are really quite mellow. I would expect acid-influenced rock to be laid back and mellow anyway. U2's not really a soft rock band either, as most of their big songs are soaring anthems designed to drive thousands of people into a frenzy. But they're not that heavy either.

    Geez, all this Tool worship here. Seeing Tool praised in a science forum is like seeing Bush praised at a Texan BBQ.

    Phish.
    Phish, phish, phish.
    I say Phish. This band is so phenomenly amazing, I cry on a weekly basis about their break up. I truly wish for nothing in my life, not one thing, more than for Phish to be back. The giutarist is a God and nothing short of it. I would do absolutely anything he asked of me. Anything. The bassist is a king. And the whole band simply play better together than anyone in history. And they have such phenomenal range. They do bluegrass, rock, jam, funk, jazz, klesmer, a capella, neo-classical, heavy metalish, and over 500 covers. I want to do nothing else in my life but to make sweet love to this music.

    Truly, in all my days, I've never felt as strongly for anything as this band.

    And yes I know I'm pathetic, thank you.

    Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry for these are the founders of Rock and Roll and never should be forgotton as to what they started.

    Cream. The ultimate 3 piece, with each of the musicians at the top of his craft.
    Eric Clapton - one of finest rock guitarists ever.
    Ginger Baker - easily one of the greatest rock drummers ever.
    Jack Bruce - a very solid bassist, and one of the all-time top 3 rock vocalists, imo, ranking alongside Paul Rogers and Robert Plant.

    The band also benefitted from having two good writers, Clapton and his blues influence, and Bruce's rock style.

    Without a doubt, Pink Floyd.
    Other than that, it depends on my mood.
