I think this thread actually needs to go in the entertainment forum.

As for me, though, I would have to say that from time to time I enjoy Maroon 5 (although the lead singer gets irritating if you listen to him for long), and I REALLY enjoy Matchbox 20--Rob Thomas can sing very well, and I love his voice on uptempo and slow styles of songs.

By "best" do you mean technically proficient at their instrument because most mainstream/pop music, atleast in America, wouldn't fall under that category,but there are a few exceptions.

In my opinion it's not best bands but best band. Pink Floyd. The one and only.
Ah, well. maybe bands after all, there's so much lovely music. I shall not name it all, will be far to much. Pink Floyd is the best, period.

2Pac Shakur, U2, Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin. The 5 best "bands" of the latter half of the 20th century. Period.

Nirvana?

Kurt Cobain was talented but come on..... musically wise the bass and drumming wasn't anything spectacular.

I'll agree with Nirvana and Jimi Hendrix. I fail to see why Janis was so popular. I was more into Grace Slick. U2 is way over rated in my opinion. Instead I will give Cream, Yardbirds7 Pink Floyd the spots.
