Dude think about a world without Slayer............. Thats scary, what would metal be like?? LOL

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!

zepplin, and floyd are two of my favorite bands. they helped me learn guitar, and offer some of the best rock music to date. stones are good, and i give them credit for still doing there thang, BUT zepplin in my book kicks WAY more ass.

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.

Explain why.

[Sgt. Pepper]

If you say anybody other than the Beatles, you're wrong. Then Zep, then the Doors. No other band was as versatile with their sound as the Beatles. With "Blackbird", "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away", "Eleanor Rigby", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Within You, Without You", "Tomorrow Never Knows", etc. you can hear that they never fall into a rut with their sound like virtually every other band.

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