My vote
Led Zeppelin
Thanx
Rage Against The Machine......
Also, this might of been better off in the general chit chat forum....
I'll have to agree with Conf1rm3d_K1ll .
Led Zep was good.....but so what?
IMO....Nirvnana
I'm torn on this. NIN and Rage against the machine are both holding #1 in my book for different reasons.
i would have to say its a toss up between sonic youth(they can create any kind of noise out of a guitar and make it sound like music) and[gloworange] sade [/gloworange] her voice is like honey!
I think nirvana was good too, kirk was a good writer!
who else? krs-one (a living personafication of what real hip hop is)
thelonis monk (a true engineer of modern jazz)
johnny rooten in your face punk rocker liked his attitude :)
too many to name here
IMHO
Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys. No arguement. WTF is up with people thinking Nirvana or Rage is the best band ever? Listen to The Beach Boys, and hear for yourself why Nirvana and Rage are so popular. Hrmm... Nirvana is pretty good though. And so is RATM. Oh, and so are The Beatles. Oh, and The Rolling Stones... Oh, and..ermm... I guess it's just personal taste. Although you could discuss about the influence some of those bands had: early blues, soul, Beach Boys, Elvis, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols... name me one band that wasn't influenced by one of them... It's all cool, but it's been done before...
Okay... Ready for this....
Everclear.....
Led Zeppelin defined what we hear today. Its music gets mimmiced everywhere.
Ok...maybe not the greatest overall, but definitly the best LIVE band ever....PINK FLOYD!!
The Band. They mixed sounds and musical tendencies like no other group had ever done before them.
And yes, this post should be on another forum.

A very good point. It's all been done before. Rock is boring, rock is dead....Electronic music is the way of the future! Hardcore, Trance, Hi NRG...IMHO, nothing beats jumping around at 6am with hundreds of people just as your last "disco lollie" is kicking in....F@#king brilliant.....
On a side note- Drugs are bad, kiddies...... ;)
radiohead.... never has such a band evolved. intelligent music.

For my tastes...........The Rolling Stones.......
I'd have to say Radiohead or NIN. Trent is the beethoven of our germ warfare, nuclear bomb times.
Metallica is my all time favorite, but I like lots of other stuff too :)
The greatest band of all time to me is Black Sabbath :)
Also, is it just me, or is the "Linkin Park sound" getting really, really old? It all sounds the same. It's time things change...
Just my 2c
I agree things do need to change.....hopefully soon they will
Nine Inch Nails, of course...Trent is GOD...
Okay, what about some of the really old stuff? Like the Doobie Brothers, Elvis, Simon & Garfunkel, Creedence Clearwater, some of that stuff. You have to admit that it added a new dimension to music, especially Elvis. You may not like all of his music (I do, all of those I listed) but he opened new doors musically speaking.
Deb :D
the doobie brothers and creedance clearwater... good stuff... does anyone here listen to anything not heavy? i have nothing against it, i listen to just about everything, but why is it that all the "best bands" are more heavy or electronic? what happened to good old accoustic stuff? i personally think dave matthews is a great band.
i Just thought of another band...relatively unknown...and definitely not mainstream...Suicidal Tendencies!

Nothing against Dave Mathews.....but, me personally, I happen to get tired of listening to laments about love and so on and so forth :)
For all the Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath fans, ...... someone forgot to include Deep Purple / Richie Blackmore's Rainbow !!
But as I have aged my taste has mellowed a bit, when no one else is around ... I break out the Sabbath, Zepplin, Purple and Richie Blackmore's Rainbow CD's .... which can only be listened at one level ... loud.
what? nobody likes tool. if you want the greatest band of the young generation....then tool is definately up there.
by the way...best punk band: Bad Religion
A stupid question ...u can never find a agreable ans.
BTW what about beatles
Iron Maiden = Best Band Ever.
Im really glad there is such a broad taste of music out there. Im gonna name another awesome band not on here. Not my favorite but definately one of the Greatest bands i ever heard....
Sick of It All
These guys are insane
My vote of course is with Pink Floyd, esp since they average a couple thousand records sold every year, even after they quit touring and recording. Led Zepplin would probably pull a close second, followed by The Doors, its quite suprising the musical tastes everyone here has. I also have to agree that electronic music has its draw, from old numbers like Daft Punk and Kraftwerk, to more modern acts such as The Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, and Underworld.
lowtripp > tool , in my oppinion , is sort of like a moder day Pink Floyd, very trippy, and at times just plain bizzare music.
Tool isn't bad either, maynard is a bit too angry at religion, you can not like something but you don't need to get that mad over it... They have the best songs for wierd rythym, lateralis has the differetn instruments written in something like 5/8, 6/8 anf 7/8 time.. Some of the best music is all about the music behind it as well as the meaning of the song. Pink Floyd inflluenced a lot of bands I listen to, they are a great band, no argument there...
If anyone is interested, go to www.songmeanings.net
They have essays written by regular people and by students taking classes on this sort of thing about the meanings behind the song. There's a lot of listings there and it's still growing.
Mahakaal - Thanks for giving a reason, one of my pet peeves is when people say they hate a band because it isn't in a certain classification, especially when they haven't even listened to the band...
I think alot of rock and roll bands got their enfluences from early soul and blues artist(and they got their from church) who were never (still not) represented fairly in the recording industry people like the beatles who amitted they copied the styles of motown musians and repackaged it and sold it back to american culture...
I still like Sade!
I saw tool a bunch of times and they were absolutely amazing live. I still talk about that show last year. Maynards pretty wierd but hes all about his music.
Got to weigh in with Queen. Some of the best stuff came from that group, and you can't forget the Late Great Freddie Mercury.
Interesting thread....
I nominate [gloworange]Black Sabbath[/gloworange] as THE Greatest Band Ever.
Nancy Sinatra!!! "Those Boots are made for walkin"
Tool is also one of the greatest bands but I think they wrote 2 of the best songs ever also
Aenima and Eulogy
The greatest band ever is Korn
NOFX by far!!!
NIRVANA
Sublime
agreed, and agreed.Quote:
