i love all of these.
Am I allowed to check all of them? I did. I hope I ruined the whole fucking thing!
YEYAH! SCORE ONE FOR CHAOS!
eh i like the doors but i can acknowledge the fact that led zepplin was probably better.
wheres guns and roses man, there my personal fave
you also fogot about eric claptonons various bands (the dominos, the cream, yardbirds)
There is no BEST, some of these bands are among the best. Personally, I think that Doors, Led Zep, Floyd, Stones, Hendrix, and the Who are in the top tier.
the closest to being the best is definantly the doors...i think anyways...
most influential is the beatles, jonny cash, and elvis
they are all good hard choice
Out of your group, if I'm high, Pink Floyd WYWH.
I voted for J.H.E. but that's just Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell. He also played with the Gypsy Sun & Rainbows (w/out Redding) and The Band of Gypsys (w/out both of them). The Cry of Love tour began with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles. He died with Mitch Mitchell as his drummer.
They all progressed Rock in their own way but I think the Beatles actually opened up the door for Rock bands. They took the rock world from candy music to something beyond.
oh man, these are all great. i'd add the grateful dead, johnny cash, and john lennon as a solo artist. my bro and i were having this discussion about him and how he was probably the greatest man who ever lived. ever. including jesus. (my bro thinks lennon was the messiah)
A few years ago, on VH1, the most influential were 1. The Beatles 2. Rolling Stones 3. Jimi Hendrix.

Floyd, without a doubt.
all of them are great you notice noone even mentioned a band from leter then 86 kinda says something about todays music eh?
and on that note, King Crimson should be on the list if we're discussing classics and influential.
same for me...Quote:

I'm on love with ALL of those bands but I would have to say that either Judas Priest or Slayer was one of the most influencial metal bands. Dude think about a world without Slayer............. Thats scary, what would metal be like?? LOL
Ummm, rock band I would have to say,............... either Stix, Boston, Eagles, Chicago, or I could name about half of the bands that come out back then! :D ;)
I cant pick a favorite becuase I'm such a HUGE fan of them all! :D
without the doors the rock world would not be what it is today
i voted for beatles.but what about another early band the rolling stones...they are a huge influence i think, theres so many more.. zz top ,aerosmith..... OOh i love the dead i got to go to shows before jerry died one of the greatest experiences of my life....... we know yur token in heaven jerry :rasta:
sublime

that is all :D
can't belive u didn't put the rolling stones on there :-(
slayer got there sound from a mix of judas preist, venom, and old beach punk like dick dale, and dead kennedys. unfortunatly i give credit to metallica for shaping what we know as amrican heavy metal. although slayer did perfect it with there raign in blood album. I will say slayer is still the best, because they havn't changed (mutch). still playing balls to the wall earsplitting METAL!Quote:

I wonder what the face of music would've been like had Hendrix made his career with Billy Cox, his old army buddy. He was fine until Chas Chandler brought him to England.
I voted for the Beatles although they are not my favorite on the list. Grateful Dead is my all time favorite and a good portion of the rest of them I'd prefer to listen to over the Beatles. But since the poll really wasn't for "favorite" but "greatest" I think the Beatles definitely deserve that honor. Sure others may have been better musicians but in terms of pure creative talent the Lennon/McCartney team really can't be beat. Look at a song like Eleanor Rigby. A fantastic "classic rock" song with no guitars, no drums, no bass. Just vocals and a string quartet. Not many bands could have pulled it off and certainly no one would have thought about doing it before the Beatles did. They were not just pioneers in rock,they really re-defined what rock could be.
Metallica isn't on there...I'm apalled. You're a disgrace to rockers around the world.
Led Zep, Floyd, Beatles. My top three right there haha

If you go on albums alone i'd say the greatest bands are Floyd and The Moody Blues. Their albums > any others. (imo)
