best rock band…. ever?

So then STW, what’s the collective agreement to this one 🙂

Bananarama

AC-DC

Spinal tap?

Guns n Roses?
Motley Crue?

Rise Against 🙂

ELO

The pink looking one (IMO)

Whoops my post wasn’t a proper rock band..

GnR. Proper rock band, proper songs, proper debauchery and proper talent on many different forms. Often forgotten that they were 5 early 20’s talented musicians that made it on the circuit.

Appetite for Destruction era GnR

AC DC

Ha! Fat chance of any kind of agreement on this one. Where do you start? And what do you define as a ‘rock’ band?
Do the Beatles count? Certainly they started as a rock’n’roll band. I couldn’t really make a case for one band over any other; U2, on the Joshua Tree Tour, were magnificent, Metallica, Soundgarden, Sisters Of Mercy, Elbow…
Seen all of them, and I couldn’t possibly pick any one as best ever. Death Cab For Cutie are outstanding live, but best ever? Or Metric, who blow me away every time I see them…
It’ll be interesting to see who gets listed.

Cream

Foo Fighters. Thread closed 🙂

GnR? Only one good album.

Pink Floyd about the worst band I’ve ever heard.

Personally it’d have to be between Nirvana, ACDC & Metallica…

What about Led Zeppelin ?

Led Zepplin +1

Nine Inch Nails.

Not really a band as Trent does it all himself other than when touring.

Stones?

Oh FFS!!!

There can be only one.

It’s Led Zep. How could it be anyone else?

Definitely Led Zeppelin IMO.

Bit Harsh Prince John the Use your Illusions have enough brilliant tracks to be considered pretty good.

Its a shame Mr Rose was such a twunt.

Simply Red or UB40.

The Wildhearts.

Led Zeppelin etc? Oh do me a flavour. Crusty old has-beens, the lot of ’em. Grandad music.

Led Zeppelin.

By a country mile.

Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin – nah.

AC/DC but Metallica close.

Foo Fighters +1
Also, New Model Army have been doing it for me for 32 years now.

Velvet Underground.

Led Zeppelin for me

Led Zeppelin. No one else even comes close! [/thread]

Led Zeppelin? God no, pretentious tedious crap loved by musos. Awful, awful rubbish, only outdone by Pink Floyd.

GnR, ACDC. Or early Stones.

Either Little Feat:

Televison:

The mighty Biscuit:

The Beta Band:

The Clash:

Or, just possibly, The Band:

or Motorhead, Funkadelic, The Beatles, Magazine, The Meters, Floyd, The Smiths, Steely Dan, Hawkwind, Blyth Power, Here & Now, Stone Roses, The Mob, Culture Shock etc etc……….

There are no wrong answers, it’s all good. 😀

The Hendrix Experience?

Shirehorses

The Wildhearts +1

Some good replies so far, going to add the Rolling Stones to the list
