The Greatest Rock Band?

[puckmaster]

The Best band ever is Spinal Tap.
just kidding. They are better than 80% of the bands back in the 80s, and are better than most bands now. to bad there fictional.

But anyway, i think the top 10 bands are;
-Led Zeppelin
-Pink Floyd
-Black Sabboth
-Ozzy(after he left sabboth)
-queen
-Guns N Roses(stuff off of appitite, lies, and some of use your illusions)
-The Who
-ACDC
-Motley crue(mainly shout at the devil and girls, girls, girls.)
-Deep purple.
There not really in order, but Led Zeppelin is the Best ever, followed by a jumpled 2nd place.

Out of the bands mentioned in this thread, my top 5 would have to be broken down like this:

1. Jimi
2. The Beatles
3. Floyd.
4. Queen.
5. The Who.


Was Zeppelin the "ultimate rock n' roll band" ?

Probably.

Are they my favorite?

Obviously not.

Rush...one of the most underrated bands and by far one of the best groups musically. Very few will deny Neil Peart has influenced a ton of percussionists, Geddy Lee is amazing on the bass and keyboards as well as having an incredibly distinctive voice and then what can you say about Alex. He is by far THE most underrated guitarists in the business. Take all three, drop them in a bottle, shake well, and you get well over 20 years of some amazing music.

Primus is the greatest band ever...
As for Classical Led Zepplin....Down by the seaside! Se the boats go sailing! Da Da DA!

my top ten

1) black sabbath or just ozzy alone
2)Zakk Wylde or his Black Label Society
3)Doors
4)Red Hot Chili Peppers (they just dont seem the normal funk metal band to me)
5)Pearl Jam (i just like the feel i get from them)
6)Primus (the most unique thing ive heard)
7)Metallica
8)Rage Against The Machine
9)White Zombie
10)Sex Pistols

pearl jam, zakk wylde, rage, and sex pistols in the top ten all-time greatest rock bands?? i think i'm going to be sick.

i would have to say that THe most underrated guitarist is PRINCE. look up some footage of him playing, it's jaw dropping.

as for my opinion of the best rock and roll band of all time? i'd say it's a tie between zep and AC/DC.

alot of people say it's the beatles, and theyre probly the most influential, but that's just not what i think of when somebody says "rock and roll".

for me rock and roll is pure unbridled energy. and those two bands personify that.

bad or good I would have thought they made somebodys list...

comeon, they sang "I was made for loving you." That song destroyed them in my mind. Its not horribly horrible, but it is definently not kiss. But i think the rest of there stuff puts them in the top 15.

[Jakedubbleya]

1. The Beatles
2. Derek & the Dominoes
3. Cream
4. Pink Floyd
5. Tenacious D

I think Clapton closed the coffin when he said "later losers" and left the yardbirds to Page.

Page is allright tho i admit, id still put him below oh say KISS tho lol.

Next to Bob Dylan the Beatles have the single largest amount of good music ever, they invented like every sound of classic rock and roll+ a lot of psycadelic. Nobody can deny it the beatles #1 greatest rock band of all time, even though George was the only one i liked lol.
