believe me, i wouldn't put motley crue on this list, but since people started putting shit bands like def fucking leppard on here i was trying to illustrate a point. to me it is insulting to the effort of real bands when you name bands like def leppard amongst the best ever.

as for the line about the radio, i dont listen to it, but has anyone mentioned a band in this thread that doesn't get regular radio airplay?
You seem to have a love for music as I do. There is no way of you knowing how much of a fan I am to Tom Petty or anyone. I think TP & the Heartbreakers have "high musicianship" because it takes talent to write those "really simple but good songs". I was just making a point with Petty to show that music taste is different for everyone. I'll put DL over Crue any day but that's just my taste. I'm sure you will tell me once again that DL sucks but I have 2 more things I'd like to mention...

What makes your opinion any better than mine? You don't see me or anyone else putting down each others choices. There are plenty of bands listed that don't get regular radio play but who cares?

Finally, you haven't even made 1 effort to respond to the thread and list YOUR own choices. You have just been going against whatever I type...so please just respect my OPINIONS and share your favorite bands with us. Thanks.:hippy:
FourTwenty4Life Reviewed by FourTwenty4Life on . Bands with the highest musicianship A band doesn't need to be filled with virtuosos to be great, but there's definitely an added kick to a band that blows your mind with just how amazingly they can play. For the purposes of this discussion, singers/vocalists are musicians. For me: 1. Led Zeppelin Nobody has ever drummed like John Bonham, Robert Plant had one hell of a vocal range with the ability to shriek or sing gently whenever he pleased, and in addition to playing one mean bass John Paul Jones could play basically Rating: 5
