Who is the greatest band of all time?

[Luap]

linkin park

Linkin Park = Revolutionary Band who, after two albums of awesomeness, bombed and became terrible

Linkin Park - Thousand Suns = Revolutionary Band who, after two albums, released a third "meh" album

Linkin Park -Thousand Suns - Minutes to Midnight = Revolutionary Band who is the best of all time.

 

[Superschlock]

Of all the bands I listen to, I think the three greatest are The Beatles, Nirvana, and Pink Floyd.

 

[Superschlock]

those, or ac :B

 

[Zexilicious]

So yeah.

Radiohead, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin.

that's all you need.

(unless we're also putting in artists, then you can throw in Bob Dylan.)

Pink Floyd. They were trying things no other band at the time was trying; or, rather, they were extending what bands like the late Beatles, The Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane were experimenting with. Take "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. If you extend that song into an album, you get Dark Side of the Moon. Syd Barrett's and Roger Waters' songwriting was genius; again, they were writing about things that nobody else at the time was writing about.

godspeed you! black emperor

 

[Zexilicious]

Oh yeah, and The Killers are pretty dope too. Probably not the greatest band of all time...but deserve to be mentioned as being one of the better bands around right now.

 

[Faris]

Wouldn't this all be personal opinion? It seems odd to think about who is the greatest band when there is no criteria to judge such a question. Led Zeppelin are damn good though.

 

[Trunks]

I would say Deftones. They never have a bad album, and there albums never sound the same as their previous efforts. They are a band who constantly evolve, and keep getting better.

 

[Demyxfan2012]

KISS is the best band in the world!

 

[Love Machine]

Hyper Crush

 

[The 14th Order]

Surprised no one mentioned Jimi Hendrix yet.

 

[Professor Ven]

Unless I'm wrong, no one has bothered to mention these two:

Creedence and Clearwater Revival​

i mentioned them you jerk :c

okay it was their most well known song and it was only in comparison but still

 

[Taylor]

you mentioned them but neglected to say that they were the best band ever.


and they are.

 

[αsiя]

bonk which super underrated/unknown/notmainstream/notsellouts/noonecaresabout band should I choose!

MGMT

 

[quiteMAD]

Queen is Freddy Mercury and three guys. One of the greatest musicians, sure, but not the greatest band. :U Same goes with Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and CCR (which is the result of John Fogerty's genius). The reason Zep, and the Beatles are the top contenders is because each member is a legend in the field they specialize in (ok maybe not Ringo).

Oh yeah anybody mention Rush? =0 How they're still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is beyond me.

But I'm sticking with my choice of Led Zeppelin. So many great bands come in a close second, but they're not the gods of rock.

 

[Faris]

Seriously guys, Radiohead.

Yep this.

And just as a way of judging this, in terms of records sold the winner is The Beatles
