Who do you think is the greatest classic band? This is just my views on who I think are the best. Just my view. Place your vote. If other, please name. This is not meant to be for flaming. Just to start some sort of discussion. So let the fun begin!

Nice selection assembled, Jeremy. I will just add an honorable mention: The Band. Terrific Canadian group of the 70's...toured w/ Dylan for several years.

I think I may of heard of them. What songs did they do?

The Doors arent there.... I am dismayed.

I think its a tie between Pink Floyd and The Who, only because David Gilmour was the greatest guitar player and Pete Townsend of The Who was an amazing songwriter

Led Zeppelin or The Doors.

lol, sorry i forgot the doors. I'll see if i can edit the poll.

I chose Other for David Bowie.

KING OF GLAM ROCK!

Good choices, but my vote goes to Black Sabbath.

NO QUEEN!!!???!!!

Yeah! Dude! WTF is up with no Queen?

Queen deserves to be up there so much more than Black Sabbath!

Oh...and the Eagles too....

this may be wrong to you guys, but what about Elvis Costello? he played rock music around the same time as some of those bands.

Fine, i screwed it up. But just vote other. I must of had a anurism(sp?) whene I left out Queen. They are f****** wicked.

You're forgiven

Sure, as long as you dont try to impale me.


HAHAHA....Vlad humor. Yeah, it was pathetic.

I voted other for QUEEN.

The Beatles sucked... Now Wings... They're only the band the Beatles could have been

Pink Floyd

The Beatles are really good, but they just didnt have that amazing guitar power that Floyd had... Queen and Eagles also are awesome though

I voted for the Rolling Stones because of their staying power, and they've been around much longer than Aerosmith, the only other band listed that's still together. The Stones are still touring (despite half the band looking like corpses ) and making music. They developed the edge that the Beatles were afraid to.

You know, I think they aproached Keith Richards to play Jack Sparrows father in the Next Pirates of the CArrebian movie He was who Johnny based his look in that movie after anyway.

Yes, you're right. And as far as I know he has accepted. Depp said he thought of pirates as the rock stars of their day, so that was his tribute.

Cool...

Beatles rock my world! All the peace you know they used to be popular... and still are

Yeah, I got their Number 1 cd for christmas. It's f'ing amazing.

I listen to them and Audioslave and Nirvana when i get the chance

Van Halen, of course.

I am horrified that Van Halen is now considered classic. I remember my mom not letting me listen to them, now they're classic rock. Alas, I am an old lady...

All old rock bands are good... You expect us to choose? Shame on you Mr. Rumbolt...

^joke

Well, they arent "classic" but they are exremly influencial, so I had to throw them in. And dont worry Jenn, your are as beautiful as a sunrise on a mid summers day.

Oh my, Jeremy, such a poet's soul...I am all flustered.

And as long as we are talking the David Lee Roth days, I agree they were influencial. Both musically and upon legions of groupies...

I vote for Deep Purple....why they aren't in the poll list.

I voted Pink Floyd because I love, love, looooovvvvveeeeeeeeee "Learning to Fly". Otherwise, I'm a bit shamed to admit, I'd probably pick Aerosmith, just 'cause I love them so much. 5 decades and they still freakin' rock!

Don't be ashamed about liking Aerosmith. They're awesome! (Well, not the last couple of albums, but I still love 'em.)

The best classic rock band was the Beatles. Without them, rock wouldn't be here today as we know it.

^ I completely agree, Mr. Spock.

That's why I would have been ashamed to put Aerosmith. Overall, I like them better than the Beatles, but when you're talking about the greatest classic band, of course you're talking about the Beatles!

Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones: Led Zeppelin of course!

Oooohhhhh, yeah, "Stairway to Heaven"... can I change my vote?
