The greatest rock band of all-time

[skyblue]

Joy Division, even though they didn't make much of an impact in their chart success, but influenced at least 3-4 bands on the poll list

who did they influence on that list?

 

[Tuffdisc]

who did they influence on that list?

Nirvana, Radiohead, U2 and I'm not sure on the Cure

 

[skyblue]

i'll take nirvana(though i'm not sure),but u2 and the cure were way before them

 

[Springsteen]

Joy Division and The Cure were formed in the same year. 1976. Joy Division influenced a later brand of the Madchester music which was huge and still is in many ways. I'd say them and The Buzzcocks were pretty huge.

Joy Division did influence Radiohead. I remember reading it. Just a FYI lol.

If I had to pick the best rock band ever, I mean straight up, balls to the wall proper rock - I'd go for Led Zep, Thin Lizzy or Deep Purple.

From that list I'd pick the beatles though

 

[AnitaBeer]

*Jumps up and down* Lay one on me big boi! lol

BTW, yes, the Beetles ROCK! But I grew up in love with Hells Bells!
Back in Black is definitely one of my fav albums.

 

[Maulds]

I've seen AC/DC live twice and no one throws it down live like Angus. The lil shit never stops.

But I voted Stones. No ones been as good for as long.

 

[cam elle toe]

Pfft...

I saw em in a pub...live ....with Bon Scott

 

[Maulds]

I'll kiss you on the face too

 

[JoeCool10]

I voted other, as in "all of the above except for U2". Their music went sour when they kept going.

 

[JoeCool10]

Also, where is Queen, Chicago and Fleetwood Mac?

Chicago? Rock?.....nah....

 

[JoeCool10]

Chicago? Rock?.....nah....

Thinkin' about it... It'd probably fit a little better under jazz?

hmmm...perhaps not ROCK...but..under a rock?


Sorry....I dont know what you'd call them....soft rock?

 

[Alien Allen]

Chicago? Rock?.....nah....

did you ever see them live?

Their original guitarist made them rock

He was epic live. much more subdued on the albums

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.
