Its all very subjective really. But if i have to choose just one band, then it would be Floyd. I'm out of step with most of the posters here, because i think The Division Bell is there best work

Division Bell is a very good album. It's very different fom their earlier stuff, but that's the evolution of the band I suppose. High Hopes, Keep Talking, and my personal favourite - Coming Back to Life..... all brilliant songs.

I also like Division Bell, although Meddle has to be my favourite. The genius in Keep Talking is obvious (If you'll excuse the pun)

Rhapsody-Seriously, there is not a band on the planet that sonds anything like them.

Hurrah for Epic Symphonic Film Score Fantasy Power Metal

Rhapsody is the most ridiculous fantasy band ever!
They're clearly the funniest band in existance, but nothing more.

 

I nominated them -the most childish metal band- in metalstorm.ee forum

Ill agree their a bit cheesy, but cheese is good!

Their all masters at there instruments and make insane music.

How could you think they are childish?

Opinion is irrelevant...

"The Beatles have amassed the greatest sales for any group. All-time sales have been estimated by EMI at over one billion discs and tapes to date. In 2001, they had been certified for album sales of 163.5 million in the US alone. The band has numerous other world records, including that for most recorded song - Lennon and McCartney's "Yesterday" had 1,600 versions recorded between 1965 and January 1, 1986. Also, their album titled 1, released on November 13, 2000, sold 13.5 million copies around the world in its first month, making it the fastest-selling album."

Ooo yeah, let's trust a whole bunch of teenage girls of yesteryear to decide the worlds greatest band shall we. Oh puh-lease. Beatles are a overrated, overhyped boyband.

 

Must be a lot of those teen age girls are still buying albums...

They've all grown up and still living the fallacy. Damned baby boomers. Ruin everything.

 

Nirvana - for in part, defining a generation.

Pink Floyd - for innovation, lyrics, guitarwork and understanding the silence between notes.

Greenday - for melancholic lyrics to an upbeat tempo and getting away with it

The Doors - for incorporating wacky poetry that everyone pretends to understand and getting away with it.

Black Sabbath - just because.

 

led zep!!!!!

 

Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Doors

 

dave matthews band.
