Was waiting for you to say something

[Crunka]

eww. iron maiden.


the best band ever is obviously Bill Cosby and the Jigglers.

[Nicolás San Jorge]

I think that many bands as Pink Floyd or The Beatles are serious challengers for the prize.

[Sir Gerald Goldberg]

James Taylor... if this is a joke then hes it!

[Shyox]

Best Band ever: The Beatles... But that's too easy. They're definitely the most influential, maybe not necessarily the best though.

Let's go with most original band in the past 20 years.

>.>

I dunno... Probably Del Amitri, or Silverchair, maybe Nirvana.

[Crunka]

well i personally believe that the mars volta is the best band ever.


with deloused in the comatorium no one can beat them.

[Lamentations]

Not the beatles, no way.

Pink floyd or maiden I could agree on, but for more modern bands I'd have to say Opeth

As for Mars Volta - no fucking way xD And silverchair? Their older stuff was pretty OK but not the best band by a LONG shot.

Nirvana

[Crunka]

please, the beatles are dead. they were great in their time but not now, they have been surpassed by so many bands, it's not even funny. sure, they might not be as tonicular as the beatles were, but still superior.

nirvana is shit, seriously, people think they were "influential" when the only thing that made them famous was when that cunt cobain smoked that shotgun and became an hero.

tool would be a cool candidate but not all of their songs are great and become very repetitive.

lol @ opeth did you pick that band out of "gayest wannabe metal bands" list? what have they done for music?

pink floyd is the same as the beatles.

if we're talking about bands over all (non-rock too) then i could say Buena Vista Social Club would be in the top choices.

[ZPO4O]

The best band ever?

Raffie for the banana phone.

>_>

everyone loves that song...

[Lamentations]

Crunka: Notice it says the "greatest band evar" and not "the greatest band now". For their time the beatles were good, and pink floyd still has a strong following today and still has relevant and influential music.

tool would be a cool candidate but not all of their songs are great and become very repetitive.

Tool would not be a great candidate for 'best band ever' by a long shot. In the top few, perhaps, but the vocals don't fit all the time and there are a whole lot of shit songs with the good ones. Also he ais a jerk and doesn't show himself live... If your music is too personal don't release it... The drummer is good, the rest are mediocre.

lol @ opeth did you pick that band out of "gayest wannabe metal bands" list? what have they done for music?

What does it matter what they have done for music when they make good music. The lyrics are engaging and the atmosphere created in the songs are superb, their slower songs are like early floyd and they can blend the heavy and soft very well (debatable, and they were not the first to do it, but they do the heavy parts very professionally and it sounds right, excellent songwriting and also instrumental skill) in many songs and over entire concept albums.

They never claim to be metal, and don't even act like it (no corpse paint, no heavy drinking or other stereotypically metal things, etc.). They just make music like they want, at least they did. Not so good without Lopez and Lindgren now.

Nirvana had an impact and some songs were very good but best band is a bit far.

Thing is, if they have a major impact on world music it is generally a bad thing, because 90% of people a jerk offs and just strap on to the things people say about bands (e.g. Lateralus by Tool being complex, etc.) without actually knowing what they are agreeing with and it makes it seem like they are better (or more of whatever is said about them) than they are. For example: Joey jordison from slipknot or travis barker from blink 182 being "good drummers". Someone says this and millions just agree even though they have no idea.

How about a best band for each genre or style or something (or even things like song writing/composition, lyrics, instrument mastery, etc.)?

I only like one Opeth song. Tool is very boring, they're like most Yellowcard songs. Bland rock music that could be played in an elevator.

[Crunka]

even i said tool is far from best band ever.

opeth (for me) becomes very bland. i could never "feel" their music.

it's obviously pointless to argue about music because it's VERY subjective. i'm just rambling.

however, in terms of tonicularity, the beatles would win.

[Nicolás San Jorge]

Last 20 years?
I think that we have to talk about Dead Can Dance or Ataraxia. Nevertheless, I think that more a matter of likeness than other thing, for that, it can also be Nirvana, Faith no More, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Opeth, Metallica, Europe, etc.
But greatest ban ever, I think that Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Doors not only for their influnce, they also played great music that are heard even by people of our generation.
And in genres, the thing is in the making of the genres (greatest punk, gothic, new wave, grunge, new romantic, electronic, progressive rock, rock 'n roll, etc., it could arrive to greatest ethereal tonic, dark tonic, dark folk and even greatest electrodark band ever).

^wtf are you talking about?
