Oh gee create a toungh one rolling on the floor laughing .

I still feel The Beatles are still the best rock band of all time.

But 6 of my other favourite bands in your list are probably some of the most important rock bands in history.

AC/DC are just in a totally different league to a lot of other Australian bands & we should be proud of what they have achieved over such an incredible career

Rollings Stones, Led Zep, Pink Floyd & U2 are different from The Beatles in the fact that they all performed live for such a long time.

I saw a Queen thing today, so that is on my mind. It's hard to vote for my all time great band, because my mood changes on what I want to listen to. I suppose you mean most influencial though don't you? In that, I am not sure!

Queen is a more legit call than ABBA!! Great musically.

It does change a bit over time but some bands really stick with you over time. For me its always been AC/DC...well i've been listening to them since i was about 7 or 8 anyway. Led Zeppilin are also awesome.

haven't ever seen the thunder........but they have such a huge cult following here (me included) - the crowds are herendous - difficult to get tickets

The stones were excellent showman - as well as the music, of course, they were very professinal 100% no drunken stupors or such as that!


like the time I saw Leslie West fall off of his chair...

dont remember that either blues63. But can just imagine! I'm not sure what Leslie West's prob. was - drunk - trippin - who knows. We were at a Club in Cincinnati (Ohio, USA), and he strolled out on the stage, clearly just wiped drunk, sat on a stool, played misssissippi queen, and whack - right to the floor at the end of the song......

had waited a lifetime to see MTNdunno moping
