The greatest rock band of all-time

[JoeCool10]

Of the list provided, I would naturally choose The Beatles. Two others would be The Red Hot Chili Peppers and maybe U2. I don't personally have a favourite overall. I like many artists. You could throw The Pixies into the list.

The Pixies are a little harder than what's on that list. They'd fall under metal. Actually, a lot of Metallica songs don't even fall under metal.

That's the thing with labels. You could just call them Rock or even Punk or Alternative. Who can define any of those?

This is true. They are all the same principle

I've always like music of various genres. I also like groups that liked to defy genre, because they didn't make songs that would fit in the same categories. I especially like the Killers, and who can forget the Who.....

Thanks for adding the Other option, mod. I could only place 15 options up--poll limits. I threw up a grabbag as a starting point. There were some great ones mentioned here. Thanks for the input everyone. Feel free to add more modern bands, too. I couldn't possibly list all the greats from every decade.

The greatest rock band ever and you don't recognise them? Not a Bon Jovi fan, eh?:eek

Guess you found out that I am not :24:

 

[Tuffdisc]

Hmm, should I be concerned as to how you voted? Not Nickelback, surely?:yuk

Err, if you read back you would of seen who I voted for

 

[Tuffdisc]

Joy Division? Interesting...are they an 80's band?

Nope.

 

[Springsteen]

L:ate 70's. They were great. Watch the film 'Control', it'll really educate you.

Errr no, they became New Order

And the names were loosely connected with Nazi, but they have no proof that Joy Division or New Order were such people

Ha. I avoided most pop/rock groups. Although, Goo Goo Dolls and Nickelback do fit under Pop/rock. Again, I tried to represent influential bands through various eras and genres. I did also ask to list your personal faves, so thanks for adding that and it's surprising some couldn't recognize the band from that pic.

I'll admit had I more room, Megadeth and Iron Maiden would have been listed to fill metal genre. Also, the Police and the Rolling Stones would been up there. If I could have 20 more options, Chicago wouldn't have been on the list. No offense, Joe. They were a decent enough band (if cheesy can be called decent), not rockers, though.

PS. A vast majority of the bands I listed can be found in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame
