Greatest Rock Bands

[SARGE]

Kings of Leon, my current favourites, in the car, on the bike and on the puta.



Hey I don't know how old you fellas are but this was cool when I was a virgin whizz it on to about a minute, happy days (not the virgin bit)

Deep Purple, Black Night.

judging from the music.. i'd say about the same age...


i really dont have a current heavy rotation artist.. KOL has a nice fresh sound though.. really passionate..

OT

Bought 'Working on a Dream' today.

Likewise, yesterday.
Certainly some stunners in there!
A brief reference back to The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle album, but I wonder if there is something still lingering from the Darkness album.
I didn't feel that The East St Band was at "max power" although it is a damn fine record. Damn, Max Weinberg is good!
A fine tribute to Dan Federici.

Interestingly nobody ever admits to liking Coldplay, except JR of course, yet they sell besquillions of albums, must be a lot of closet Coldplay fans

Coldplay are the new Simply Red...

[ducatilover]

so who here likes satriani, eric johnson, vai and all other wondeful guitar gods? and does anybody know of the band tangier?

[kezzafish]

man. KBers are oooold. All those bands on the list suck arse. Sure they were good in the day but evolution has done it's thing and people have become much better at playing the guitar, smashing the fuck out of the drums and screaming their heads off. Word to all the posters of Rage, Pantera even Metallica and the likes but Pnk Floyd? jeeesus... My dad wants shine on you crazy diamond played at his funeral.... he's 64. KOL are a bit camp and not very rockin' but good. I want "we're in this together" (nine inch nails) played at my departure if i skid through the man grater tomorrow

I disagree. You don't get to be a vituoso without heaps of talent AND effort. I think that a lot bands today are poor musically. In the old days bands used to have to go on 40 date tours to earn their stripes even before getting a record contract. By the time they got to the studio generally they were tight live and their playing was perfected since studio time was so expensive. Nowadays Pro Tools, vocoders, sampling etc. can make everyone sound like a star. The older musos had to play their instruments because there was not so much technology to hide behind.

How does a band get to be great? It is usually when an artist produces an acclaimed body of work. I like Pantera, RATM and Metallica but 9, 4 and 9 albums don't get a greatest rock band ticket from me just yet. By way of comparison the Stones, Sabbath and Rush have 63 studio albums between them and they are still producing music today.

That probably expalins why the bands on the list are older, you have to have the material to make a decision. YMMV

[Badjelly]

man. KBers are oooold....

And your point is?

Mind you, I was a bit disconcerted to see Pink Floyd leading a poll for greatest rock band. They were clever musicians and everything, but ... didn't they take themselves just a little too seriously?

Dude.

Metallica have been going for 28 years. So have Pantera.
18 for RATM. 21 for NIN.

It ain't about how long ago they played their music. Good music is timeless.

One day when you grow up and expand your mind you'll realise.

Pretty much what riffer has said.

Hence why people still listen to Mozart and Beethoven to this day.

I wonder if people will be listening to all of the current bands in 200+ years

Not likely.
