Greatest Music Band on Earth

[6thEdition]

What does everyone think is the greatest band on the planet, ever? I think it's 100% completely unrivalled, Metallica. They are great. If anyone can think of anyone better I would like to hear who.

[OfaLoaf]

THE WHO

Excuse me while I go to the fridge. I've got the munchies.

[6thEdition]

Just my opinion here, but if music isn't metal/rock, it's not music. Pop/dance i just hate. All the bleepin n bloopin and the ppl who are supposed to be the ppl singing it like mumble into a mike and computers do all the work for them.
They dont play their own instruments or write their own songs, lol isnt that wat its all really about? I once saw an advert for a "Busted" album. They were playing electric guitars without an amp or wire in sight.
Meanwhile all the old 80s music was written, sang and played by the people who have their names on them.

[SecondRaven]

Dream Theater good band imo

[JetRaiden]

I can see some flames off in the distance....

I have no idea. the beatles I guess?

[Atog]

I'm a fan of Aaron Carter, Hanson and Dream Street


Rhapsody is pretty good also.
/Not a fan of Metallicia

Metallica.... no. What have they done thats so great? nothing really, they didnt rfevolutionize anything, they didnt have an amazing guitarist like jimmy hendrix, the old vocals are... ok. the new metallica is just shit, im sorry but it is.


IMHO, There is no way to decide for ME because i have far too many bands to choose from.

[eXoSloth]

Probably the Beatles.

6thEdition: Are you saying that jazz and classical aren't music?

[Infernus]

Liek omg Aaron Carter n Justin Timberlake. Z0mg!

Bullshit.

Blues. Jazz. Classical. Funk. Hip Hop(omg, it's music!).

NEWS FLASH

COMPUTERS CAN MAKE MUSIC BY THEMSELVES.

Just because it doesn't come out of an amp doesn't mean it isn't music.

And best band ever? Tool.

[Spee]

KMFDM.

Heavy, they did revolutionize something - How about most of popular music today? Of the metal/rock variety, not the lame kind.

If you can name a band thats screamed at the top of their lungs about being angry, I'm quite sure Metallica did it first.

[Neon Apocalypse]

tool

i don't know how to say it, you have to listen to them yourself and you'll know why

[Setari]

i like The Eagles.

sorry, they arent moshpit music, not even their old stuff, so slayer is the first to really "scream at the top of their lungs".

Dunno which moshpits you've been attending :confused:

Best band ever? Iron Maiden..

What have Metallica ever done?

Influences 100's if not 1000's of other bands
Combined stadium rock and thrash with the Black Album
Had said album played on mainstream radio
Did a gig with the symphony orchestra which is arguably one of the most innovative and fantastic live performances ever

TB.

[Baneblade]

This is such a no brainer: Rolling Kidney Stones.

[Heavygain]

I like tool, tool is definatly one of my favorites, but i would really have to go with more of my punk rock side if i had to pick a #1 band, prolly would pick senses fail/nirvana/muse/AFI/Placebo/Bad Religion. Dont get me wrong, I <3 mosh and such music.

[Neon Apocalypse]

i gave up listening to punk, i agree that there are some very good punk bands out there

but most of all their music sounds the same

the composition of punk is just lyrics, with some bland guitar tunes, and the lyrics are all basically the same

I dont break up music into genres anymore, i break it up into bands, and the ones I like, the original ones I listen to

tool is one of the most original sounding bands there is

I dont like to divide it into genres, its just that it describes them, and i dont know about them all sounding the same, but similar i admit.

[firecrackerNC]

For me, I know alot of people will disagree and argue and what not but for me Limp Bizkit is the best. They throw one hell of a concert, woodstock 99 anyone? I like just about every song they've made. After them is prolly either POD or Godsmack. Not in to the old rock or anything although I do like The Who and ACDC if there considered old. I hate Mettalica with all my heart and despise there shit.

Yes, you're right.. people will disagree with you.

And yes, for the record, you can consider The Who and ACDC old :rolleyes:

Earth is old.

I think the Cavewights Rocklers way back in 36000 BC were the greatest. They also invented fire, and poached eggs.

[Atog]

I'm not a fan of having a "greatest band" kind of thing. Different people have different music tastes.
I can't even say that I have a personal favorite, because i like a lot of bands, but there is no one band that i can just sit down and listen to indefinetly. I need a mix.

I like greenday's new album alot

Also Modest Mouse

and Red hot chili peppers.

meh whatever sounds good makes it on the Download discography list then i delete eveything i don't like

Totally agree. I'm a fan of Iron Maiden, but I absolutely love Metallica. Their music evokes so many different emotions, it's just hard to explain. Definitely my favorite band, as well as a pioneer of many new aspects of music. However, that doesn't mean I see them as the most influential band of all time. Perhaps in metal, but many other bands/artists have done extraordinary things in their respective genres. I'm generally pretty open minded on music.

On a note though, I honestly don't see why the Beatles were and are considered the "best band evar!!!111" To me, they just don't sound all that special. *dons the kevlar*

[FlamingPotato-J]

Juno Reactor, a Trance group who made most of the music for the matrix. They most notably made the music for the freeway scene in the second matrix.

[Triggar]

Beeeeeeeeeatles

[NightWalker XI]

hmm...probably for me it would be my fav band Incubus for having such a definitive style through the times and stuff, they are actually not that noticed and they have alot of silly girl fans cause of Brandon but they rock....other bands worth mentioning...

Metallica (obviously)
Foo Fighters
Green Day
MUSE

[Hezzy]

Busted, McFly.

EDIT: Muse.

[MrPaul]

Muse = teh boorang. [boring]

RATM had some really great baselines and great guitar, I wasn't too keen on some of their political views, but I did like the way they got it across. (even though, the music "machine" was what was promoting them...) Not the best ever, but a reasonable consideration, nonetheless.

Bullshit.

Blues. Jazz. Classical. Funk. Hip Hop(omg, it's music!).

Blues= Boring
Jazz= Very Boring
Classical= Omg the worst. What's so great about violins and stuff.
Funk= Annoying
Hip Hop= Crappy

metal and rock are the best n thats that.
N to yall who say metallica arent that great, or they didn't do anything good, Visit
http://music.msn.com/artist/?artist=16074359
Tells you all about their greatness there. They are definetly the most successful band of all time I'd say.
Metallica.... no. What have they done thats so great? nothing really, they didnt rfevolutionize anything, they didnt have an amazing guitarist like jimmy hendrix, the old vocals are... ok. the new metallica is just shit, im sorry but it is.

They've done lots of great stuff. One of their albums hit top ten without any radio play and little support from MTV, one of their albums was said as 'one of the best metal albums of all time', if you add up the total number of copies of their albums that they've sold its not even funny how rich they'd be. If metallica were to be an empire on planetside and all other music wud be another empire, and everybody fought by how good their music was, metallica wud own

[eXoSloth]

:doh:

Blues and Jazz are the roots of all the music you listen to today, no matter how "boring" they are.

People still listen to classical pieces hundreds of years after they were composed. I seriously doubt people will still be listening to Metallica in the year 2400. I mean, omg, what's so great about guitars and stuff?

I can't hold this in any longer.

Funk= Annoying

Blues = Without it, we wouldn't have metal, learn your music.

Jazz = hmm, I'll let that slide, not too keen on it myself.

Classical = Classical music is good, go listen to the Russian Red Army Choir, very interesting stuff. And also, your beloved Metallica... S&M album anyone? That was one of, if not their best albums (in my opinion, that's what this all boils down to - opinions).

Funk = Funk is just plain :cool:! Funk + Metal = RATM = :cool:

Hip Hop/Dance = Hip Hop is good as well, as are most types of dance music, you just have to find the stuff you like in the genre. Most of it for me really sucks, but I have found some that I really like.

You lose at music

[Kaltagesta]

Firstly, TB, you stole my avatar.

Secondly, classical music is great, but you have to be in the right frame of mind, like anything else. Classical music, with it's immense orchastra's, can reach huge, epic levels that other music simply cannot do. I personally think Queen were great, but then so are so many other bands. Rolling Stones were originally a blues band. They, the Rolling Stones (antichrist) and the Beatles (reincarnate) were two of the most influential bands ever, even if you dont love their music, and Metallica owe them a lot (whom i personally detest). Of course, those two bands owe a lot to previous music and so forth.

Also, for the record, Busted do play their own intruments, and write their own songs. So what if they had no wires in a video - what bands play their video's live? None. Ergo, it doesnt matter if the wires are in. Also, they could have been Infra Red connection thingies. Dont be mad please, stop the hating, just be glad that they'll be waiting...

I personally hate Busted. But, Kalta does have a point. I can't think of any bands that always play their music live on a video. They might do, they might not. It doesn't matter. It's only a video.

Also about the no wires; I've used a wireless guitar connection. It's an awesome little box of tricks that sits in a small box on your back. You can use it for quite a long distance.

And for the record; Pop people trying to be rock absolutly suck bollocks. Especially Busted and McFly. I want to stab them in their faces. With a rusty knife. With poison barbs.

Also agreed, but I agree with most of their political views. And I don't think there is any other band remotely like them (correct me if I'm wrong). I think the way they mixed rock, rap, funk etc is pretty innovative. Definitely one of the crown jewels of the 90s.

[Kaltagesta]

If you like RATM, try Primus. Personally i hate them both, but they have similar elements, and i believe Primus are actually older.

[Khronos]

wow...just wow.

[Kikinchikin]

So that's what Primus is like. I've heard a lot of people talking about them lately. I'll check them out sometime.

[AztecWarrior]

http://www.49band.it/images/Van_Halen_Logo.jpg
Van Halen.

Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix, Blue Oyster Cult, and AC/DC are also very, very good. I also like a lot of singles from Dio, Ratt, and other assorted 80s rock.

Anyway, although I prefer rock, I also like blues and don't mind jazz. There is also some good classical (Wagner, 1812 Overture).

Led Zeppelin/Pink Floyd sucks. Balls. I hate them.

I prefer my "If you like these bands, you should be shot. Repeatedly." list:

-Rage Against The Machine
-Any Hip-Hop/Pop/Crackle/Snap
-Rap
-Limp Bizkit
-You don't just like, you worship Nirvana

[Khronos]

since when do record sales = "artist" greatness

Damn frickin straight! best evr.

I tihnk startin this thread was a bad idea, cos as sum of u have said, it just comes down to,
"So n so is da best!" remarked Davis, eating his pizza.
"NO, watever IS DA BEST YOU WANNA FIGHT ABOUT THAT?!" retorted Sam, ejaculating his opinion in Davis's face.
"Yes, I would." Davis said steamingly.
"As would I." Sam agreed.
Ill make a closing statement b4 i never look at this thread again:

METALLICA FOREVEEEEER!


oops, oh and
People still listen to classical pieces hundreds of years after they were composed. I seriously doubt people will still be listening to Metallica in the year 2400. I mean, omg, what's so great about guitars and stuff?

Well, most think Metallica's oldest songs were their best, and they were from 20 years ago? And their albums are still being bought? I think they will still be listened to in a good load of decades.

edit= wats so great abotu guitars?? i tihnk u shud really be asking what isnt great about them

And my "what's so great about guitars?" comment was in response to your "what's so great about violins?" comment. They're both wonderful instruments :)

Metallica is good but what about AC(ligtning bolt)DC?

[6thEdition]

guitar better tho :)

To the person that said in this thread (I cant be bothered findin him), "I personally want to stab Busted in the face" If you do you'll be my hero =).

Well, first off, Metallica are to me a sort of cruel parody of themselves, without intention.

As to the subject of greatest band ever, there will never be one. Music is too opinionated to be properly rated, what I believe to be shit somebody else can believe to be gold. So, as a whole, music can not be classified into a "best-of" list because people just have such varied taste.
