The best ROCK band ever? (111)
lardzeppelinunknown, Clare Ireland10 Threads 3 Polls 300 PostsFrom your choices listed i would take Led Zeppelin as best (hard)ROCK band...The Beatles as best song writers (always evolving)...much as i love early Floyd, they were more psychedelic than all out heavy rock...the other bands listed are legends of course, but i wouldnt be fussed about seeing them, save perhaps for U2, and then its more about the visuals than the music...I would however give mention to Deep Purple( great hammond and guitar interplay.)...along with zepp's stairway to heaven, smoke on the water is banned in many music shops, i hardly need to tell you why!!!!
..LZ..
..LZ.. Leo78: Just saw AC/DC live and realised how ordinary alot of new bands are. I have tried to give a cross section of bands over the last 40-50 yrs. Wondering what you people think?
no contest...the beatles....the only band to be able to put out a best of compilation and it go to #1 on the charts, after 40 years oftheir break up...like i said, no contest....

For me the best rock band is such a hard call - they all have different attributes and are strong in different ways , but if there is one band that never fails to excite me (surely the only test of your 'favourite' band?) is Deep Purple.
That said, the best show I saw was Alice Cooper.... and the most 'enjoyable' show was Status Quo (for audience participation etc etc )
Horses for courses.
...ooh, and then there's Be Bop Deluxe ... ooh, and then the Stranglers ... ooh, and then The Who ...

BannerMan53: You gots to be kiddin me !!!
Nope Elton John had some great tunes.
londonmade: the only deccent band to come out of america was kid rock the rest are trash
Shows how much you know about music and bands
I would have given Metallica, GnR's spot but that's a great list.
AC/DC, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones stand out from the rest for me. Given the choice I'd go see The Rolling Stones befor other two.

BannerMan53: So did the Osmonds & Michael Jackson !
Well glad to see you finally made your picks Banner, although those two would have been way down my list...

I still consider Metallica metal...even though they went for a softer sound for a while.
Did someone seriously put Elton John on their list?

Yup, I sure did
Leo78: Elton is a class act as a musician but i personally consider his music pop.
Led Zeppilin get my vote still.

BannerMan53: This thread started February 2010 and it's already at page 4 !!
I was a little suprised when i opened up CS 10mins ago and it was up again
Maybe i should move into religion and right wing politicals to get my threads popular?
Blues63: Or the time Joe Cocker cancelled his show three songs in because he was too drunk to perform
I saw Joe Crocker years ago he was awesome he managed to stay standing just hehe! he got standing ovation. Not once but 3 times
lushguy4you: although i ve seen a lot of rock bands live the question of makes a best rock band a hard decision in my mind.
Each one and many others offer a range of taste to head bang too, but also offer a live performance which goes towards an evenings entertainment.
Im tore between several bands But the best in all categorys would have to be Led Zep followed by Pink Floyd but i heard the eagles were great as well ? this is head banging

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!! get out read the post lots of great rock bands Of course ACDC is the best.
Guess it depends on how you look at it......
Money.........AC/DC....the "avg" band made over $440million.....3rd place....how's that for avg?
Guess it depends on what you think rock is......I wouldn't count U2.....the biggest earners, but would count the Stones....earning between U2 and AC/DC.
For me.....who has LOTS of good songs?
Led Zep is the best by far for me.....since the Beatles don't make my rock list......and the Stones would be next......then maybe CCR or the Eagles
