best band ever!
well, i thought of starting this thread about the worlds best band. since we already have song of the moment, maybe we should have something about bands also. this post is created mainly for rock\pop bands, but if you want to discuss other genres, feel free.
in my opinion, there are two bands my world couldn't have exited without: Pink Flotd and The Beatles. Beatles have influenced later bands, and they made a awful lot of good music. Pink Floyd, i think didn't influed ohter in the way Beatles did, but they have made some of the most brilliant and asthonishing music ever made. i think other bands are great, Nirvana for an example. r.i.p Cobain. i know some admins, not on this forum, haven't been here so long, don't are very happy about listing-posts. so please, try to make some statements about your music. and don't list up the one you heard one time on the radio.

I like the beatles but pink floyds music shits all over theirs...
Favourite Band - Marilyn Manson - that is Manson, Twiggy, John 5, Ginger and Madonna Wayne Gacy (purely for the fact that no one has replaced him yet hee's not that good), I like Tim Skold but Twiggy is just too good... NIN is probably next...

There's no way I could narrow it down to one or two... and that has nothing to do with the fact that I mod a music forum.
God, best band of the sixties would have to be the Beatles, best of the 70s? Too many.... Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, .....

I was really into Radiohead at one point too, but all their songs are so depressing. Even the ones that sound happy are filled with irony. Like "No Surprises". It sounds nice, but the lyrics are a little sad. It's a little miserable. The desired life also sounds a bit empty to me. In the background you can hear, "Let me outta here." It's decent stuff though. Maybe not "best", but perhaps "favourite". Last edited by katya : 11-20-2004 at 03:48 PM. Reason: added thoughts |

First and formost, I gotta say my favorite band is the Matthew Good Band. None of you have probably heard of them, since they are (or were, Matt split up the band and went solo recently) a Canadian band, and only popular in Canada. But beyond the MGB, my other favorites are...
Radiohead Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin Queen Breaking Benjamin Coldplay Etc. etc. and so on and so forth. These are only my favorite rock bands, as I listen to all types of music (except for rap and hip-hop), but if I had to be classified as anything I'd first and formost be a rock fan. All of my favorites are too long to list.

Led Zeppelin is the greatest band of all time, and anybody who denies that is crazy.
Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Beach Boys, etc, are all awsome too, but Zep is a step above them all IMO. |

Of my favorite bands, the best would have to be:
X-Japan- They had a major role in shaping the future of j-rock...and their songs are just amazing...and long. Pink Floyd- They're masters of sound. Queen - There's so much to love, I mean, what better songs are there to randomly start sing while walking down the street? MUSE - The lyrics and melodies are gorgeous, and completely singable. Stereolab - What can I say? It's just good music. Sleater Kinney - I'm not one for shouting lyrics, but the way it's handled in their music just won me over. I also appreciate the ironic way the songs deal with life. |

I think Led Zepplin is one of the most influential bands there are. Also, they happen to be one of my favorites. Ramble On reminds me of my kid, therefore it is his theme song. Also, Modest Mouse is very good, new, but good. check em out at www.msn.com, and type in Modest Mouse in the search area. They rock

Yeah... Je les aime. Speaking of Cheap Trick, I received another one of their albums for Christmas. |Squee!| Along with a bunch more music. Yeah... it was a good Christmas for music in general.
