I just like how zepplin put things together. i'm not dogging the stones, there good to. i play guitar, and some of the first songs i learned were rock and roll, comunication breakdown, and going to california. Later i learned paint it black, my old death metal band did a badass cover of it.
Well now i understand why Zeppelin are WAY better then Floyd.Quote:

Gilmour, Waters, Mason and Wright (Barret) Have more individual talent. There are so many flawless Floyd albums, i can't name a bad one. Floyd music is so varied it's ridiculous. Every album is different. They have better songs aswell. To name a few long ones: Shine on you crazy diamond, EchoesQuote:

BLACK SABBATH
Sabbath are amazing.Quote:

Lots has happened since the 70's though, no? Whole sub-genres that have left their mark, crossed borders, deconstructed and been reabsorbed... kinda how 'classic rock' itself developed I suppose. I'd bet most of the artists listed would themselves find this thread very narrow in scope.
Pink Floyd...
evryone who ragged on someone else for not voting for a band or not putting other bands up there should be ashamed. there are only ten choices that i can fill. i also said (opinion) which means who do you think or believe to be the greatest rock band. in my opinion i think that those where some of the greatest rock bands who believed in the music, something that Metallica doesnt (reference to their team up with the establishment to shutdown napster) anyone who believes in the music knows that it is more than making money. if metallica really cared about their music than they wouldnt have started the war against the spread of it.
i love them!Quote:

THREE DISCS on an INTRO mix...lol, i was surprised :dance:
U FORGOT SUBLIME!!
You forgot English... and Sublime doesn't compare to any on the list.
I hate new rock i like wicked shit and gangsta rap. But i like floyed.
Ok I'm sorry but sublime doesnt belong in this thread but they're still awesome i love the self titled album, it was probably the FIRST CD that I EVER bought. So maybe thats just why it holds such significance for me. :pimp:
"Wrong Way"
Annie's 12 years old, in two more she'll be a whore
Nobody ever told her it's the wrong way
Don't be afraid with the quickness you'll get laid
For your family get paid
It's the wrong way
I gave her all that I had to give
I'm gonna make it hard to live
(Big) salty tears running down to her chin
And it ruins up her make-up
I never wanted
A cigarette pressed between her lips
But I'm staring at her tits
It's the wrong way
Strong if I can, but I am only a man
So I take her to the can
It's the wrong way
The only family that she's ever had
Is her seven horny brothers and a drunk-ass dad
He needed money so he put her on the street
Everything was going fine until the day she met me
Happy are you sad, wanna shoot your dad
I'll do anything I can
It's the wrong way
We talk all night, try to make it right
Believe me shit was tight
It was the wrong way
So run away if you wanna stay
Cause I ain't here to make ya, oh no
It's up to you what you really wanna do
Spend some time in America
Dub style!
She'll give you all that she got to give
But I'm gonna make it hard to live
Big salty tears rollin' down to her chin
And it smears up her make-up
I never wanted
So we ran away
And I'm sorry when I say, that straight to this very day
It was the wrong way
She took a hike it don't matter if I like it or not
Because she only wants the wrong way
I gave her all that I had to give
But she still wouldn't take it, oh no
Her two brown eyes are leaking like a sieve
But it still ruins her make-up
I never wanted
you cant listen to that song twice and not sing along
Floyd are good, but the best is deffently zeppelin!
i voted sabbath but im a die hard guns n roses fan
Wow, great bands listed there, but no Tool. I can play at least one song by all of them. :eek:
I'll go with Pink Floyd. Tool's the modern day PF.
AC / DC
pink floyd, black sabbath, and the doors i voted
o yea, and jimi of course
Wow you guys might hate me after this. I really dislike most of those bands. The Beatles is of course the best band of past, present and future.
Dont hit me after this:
Best Band: Beatles
Solo: 1. Lennon 2. Elliott Smith (hides) 3. Doug Martsch (from Built To Spill)
Hip Hop Band: 1. Company Flow 2. NWA 3. ?
Hip Hop Solo: 1. Aesop Rock 2. Atmosphere 3. Easy E
Modern Rock Bands: 1. Built To Spill 2. Bright Eyes (if you consider that a band rather than solo... Conor Oberst does) 3. Pearl Jam
Classic Rock: 1. Beatles 2. Doors 3. Bob Marley and the Wailers
if you dislike most of those bands, then you arent listening to the right songs.
If you are refering to me Passit420. I think that I've heard too much of it. Sick of it.
what floyd have you listened to?
I can honestly say that I've heard 90% of Floyd's songs. And actually they are one of my least favorites. In my opinion (and I'm ok with people thinking I'm wrong), there's a lot of weak lyrics, the production is some of the best out there, but overall what is it about them that really grabs you??? Nothing really does for me. Spaceyness, generic, lots of talent.... little direction. But this is totally just my opinion.Quote:

y this then you must be listening to a different floyd.
also, how can you like rock and not like zeppelin. they are as pure rock as it gets, imo they have the best lyrics in the world. it is incorporated into their music flawlessly. best lyricist and guitarist combo the world will ever see.
also if you havent listened to all the floyd albums all the way through then you cant say they arent good. their albums all capture a different feeling.

Robert Plant's vocals fills thier style so well, I think that he gets so much respect because of that unknowingly. There's so much better music out there.
I've heard every single Floyd album many times. For I have them all. Yet haven't listened to any of them in over 4 years... tell me why I do that. Music has progressed. Good music may not be in the mainstream anymore but search it out! I think music has became more and more personal... but I agree lacks more and more in the global area.
you have every floyd album, yet you seem to hate them? what the fuck? which albums do you have? i want to know. you have been avoiding this question. also you have listened to all of them many times. why? you obviously dont like them. i know there is good new music out there, i listen to it, but why would i go searching for more when i am more than satisfied with what i listen to. maybe if i ever do get sick of the music i listen to, i will "search it out." but you should show more respect for the bands that your favoirte bands were heavily influenced by and stop trying to play them off to being generic. they were original, something most of the bands today seem to lack.
I apologize. I didn't mean to piss you off. Seriously. I am just trying to have a lighthearted debate about music. I'm sorry.Quote:

i am not pissed off, just trying to find truth in this lonely world of ours.

Well I havenā??t read through this thread but I hope you know almost everyone on this list would credit The Beatles as one of their major musical influences and not the other way around. The Beatles musically are the best band on this list.
I'm not trying to piss anyone off either as I pretty much love ALL these bands. But the Beatles are just on a completely different level from everyone else. The Beatles are on Bach's and Miles Davis's level...
also, through asking this question, i was trying ti get a feel for what people like to listen to.
Bob Marley & The Wailers greatest band of all time?
could be, if thats what you think.
REDO POST! STRAIGHT UP FUCKED!!! CAN'T COMPARES SOME ARTIST TO OTHERS!!! :rasta:
Ya well. Ummm hands down every single aspect of music and theroy has benifited from The Beatles. They've touched base with everything that'll ever be. Avid fan? :)
Well. Ya I'm telling the truth about hearing everything. Although about 7-15% of music that I have (about 400 vinyl, 500 cd's, 100 cassets, 30 gigs) I haven't listened to yet. I could credit ADD. So with that, I do not know every name of everything that I've listened to. Most of the time I do not control what's playing. My friends do.
(I'm not trying to brag... my mom worked for Interscope and left me all of that)
