Pearl Jam are definitely in my top division and I think will be the only band from the Seattle / grunge scene to have the potential to still be filling stadia in 20 years.

Oasis don't have that longevity factor sure, but you can't take away from them the fact that they were responsible for one of the greatest debut albums ever.

ECT? Who are they?

yeah fair enough. my post may have come on a bit strong. My take was that the poll only included bands that have long since expirerd (mostly). I think what was said about beethoven isn't entirely correct. He was huge in his day... ie. most people listened to him as there wasn't as much varied taste or choice in music. He and others from that time pioneered a whole genre of music. Rock was pioneered (for the masses) by Elvis (and others) and people still listen to this. As the generations die so does the mass popularity of the music they listened too. When i'm 40 i'll probably be trying to convince 25 year olds that Queens of the stone age are "the greatest rock band of all time" this could go on and on. I'm sure ya know what i mean 'cos i've kinda forgotten what i was saying.... should really get back to work now, lol

Fuck work. There will still be people who listen to led zep and there will still be people who listen to Oasis (even though they're shit) but something newer and "better" is guaranteed to come
