What by all means do you really mean by that??? They don't become rock bands so they can go all out and say "this is a contest!, were going to win". Dude it's music.

I like them all seriously!!! They all are great in certain ways.

But I chose others cuz its probably one of the most underrated band ever. Which is X Japan.

I love all bands equally. Same with other genres

BAh... mortal fools... TOOL is the best around! I hate the others... especially the Beatles!!!

Wow, no one likes Jimi Hendrix, Canned Heat, Steppen Wolf, Robben Ford, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Iron Butterfly, Neil Young, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, Creedence ClearWater Revival (Revisited), Warren Zevon, George Thorogood, Jethro Tull, The Kinks, Black Sabbath, or Ten Years After. Of course "rock" originated in the 30's with Robert Johnson, I won't get into all of that.

I myself like

The Doors
Hendrix
Skynyrd
Canned Heat (dont forget to boogie!)
Howlin' Wolf
My Own
*Ultimate Rock Bands*
Cannibal Corpse
My Own
Dying Fetus
Gorerotted (their older material)
Morbid Angel

Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarist ever!

Those genres are subcategories, their still composed within the Rock genre.

"We don't need no, education! We don't need no, mind control! No dark sarcasm in the class room. Hey, Teacher! Leave dem kids alone!" (Guess who I voted for.)

ummm ill vote Alice in Chains as best rock band ever...farnone...

permission to slap someone across the face. WHERE IS THE JIMI heNDRIX EXPERIENCE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Purple Haze, all in my brain
Lately things just dont seem the same
Actin funny, but I dont know why
excuse me while I kiss the sky ! !

Yeah, but that article also lists "Hey Ya" as one of the top ten rock songs.
It's a nice song, but not rock in any way.

[attachmentid=25955]tool owns them all!

Well . . it's a hard choice, because there's many great bands . . but I voted for the Beatles. A few on that list, come in at a real close second.

This is a tough one!

I can't choose between White Zombie, Bowie (solo artist, I know but he's good!), Blondie, Chilli Peppers, Alice Cooper (solo, not the band) MCR, Nirvana and U2.

If I had to choose one, it has to be Nirvana

For some reason I think you should go with Alice Cooper. I don't know why.....

Linkin park!

Deep Purple
Queen
Scorpions
U2
The Who
Iron Maiden
Dio

Though godsmack,rob zombie,marylin manson,nickelback are good also,
but linkin park is the best, because it mixes both my favorite kinds of music rap/rock.

Yes, yes you are right. Cooper is a rock God and is the best. No other artist compares.

I love your new sig. Did you make it?

We go dancing nighty in the attic
While the moon is rising the sky
If I’m too rough , tell me
I’m so scared your little head will come off in my hands

Yes I did... I know it's kinda lame but hey I'm doing this crap at work with a ringing phone and people looking over my shoulder. Super goober people looking over my shoulder. Oh and I'm trying to eavesdrop on other people's phone conversations....lol...

How could anyone ever....ever ever ever........ ..EVER!!!!!!! forget the gods themselfs...KoRn!!!!!! man they put on a hell of a live show





alien

'Kay... this may not be the most popular idea around here...

But the beatles have to be the most overrated band EVER!!! I am soooo sick of people saying that their songs were genius... the problem is that most of them were love songs... And you can only write so many love songs without me wanting to kill myself... BE ORIGINAL!!!

As for Nirvana... I really don't see the hype. Is it cuz Kobain killed himself? Everyone seems to remember Kobain, but not Grolsch(did i spell it right?) or Krist Novolestic... which annoys me!

Jimi Hendrix is kewl tho... i admit...

Guns 'n' Roses are OK, but Axl Rose really needs to cut down on the cigs
Cooper's a little old fashioned, but still a good laugh

My Favs:

1; TOOL
2.MuDvAyNe
3.Primus
4.White Zombie
5.KoRn

i hate Primus and Tool but the other three are great





alien


edit: another band i like is 10 Years,has anybody heard of them? i saw them at the chicago korn show along with mudvayne it was an awsome show

I forgot about KORN! (sorry to much bands I can't remember all of them)

What you have to remember is that for the time the band was the original. For instance if you've ever listened to the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band there is very original and influential stuff on there. It's not just about "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". I do think John Lennon is a bit overrated though because he was killed. George Harrison was way better in my opinion.

As for Nirvana I don't personally care for them all that much but again for their time they were very influential and they may not have started 'grunge' but they were it's catalyst.

Guns N Roses mixed heavy metal and glam brining two genres together successfully. Again, not the first but the catalyst.

Jimi Hendrix is a guitar god and a legend and he did more for music than I can express in words.

Alice Cooper is my personal hero and favorite rock villain. He was a first and a catalyst. He's still making music and touring and he's been around forever and I hope he'll be around forever. He is super-intelligent and a very underrated writer. I love him to death.

Sorry, I went on a babble there....

hehe I know what you mean... I do think that the beatles were better stoned tho... Alice Cooper... the god of old skool rock

Or AC the god of everything...wotever...

AC

Not into bands, but had to say other Kiss

what about oasis?
they rock!!!

meh.... To you, Oasis are kewl... but to me, it's all the same...

still, each to his own...

No one has mentioned Jane's Addiction....

They're good too...

I vote in others, cause my favorite one is NEVERMORE! But, from that list, Pink Floyd is the best.

I'm going to have to go with Queen. "Death on Two Legs" is enough to sway my opinion away from Led Zep. Not a favorite, but rather relative to that list. Not the biggest fan of most of the bands up there.

Nevermore is really good.

As you guys know this contest is for the BEST ROCK BAND EVER, the key word here is BAND, that goes for jimmy hendrix and stuff like that...of course im not saying he wansnt good, cuase he was one the best guitarrist, i think eric clapton and jimmy page, david gilmour are better...

Jimi Hendrix Experience is a band. Close enough.

no is not, i mean what makes a band a band?

Can't believe that Nirvana and the Doors are on that poll. Both of them groups would have vanished into oblivion if their minor talented singers did not die. Nirvana were only famous because Geffen records pulled out their whole hype and marketing machine to make them big. They were the grunge New Kids on the Block. It was all marketing and promotion and the music was dreadful bad garage mental.

The poll is a strange selection really. Like a bad Middle-American FM rock station playlist and no bearing on most of the great music made over the years. Just what some middle age DJ assumes is great "mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn".

What about U2, the Smiths, Stone Roses, Fun Lovin Criminals, The Jam, The Cure, Oasis and about million other bands who show up crap like Nirvana and The Doors for the mediocre tripe they are.

Kurt Cobain was no loss really. His daughter must be near the age now were she'll have her first album and it'll be called "Daddy's Girl" or something MTV COOL like that and the global record industry will try to make out it's all somehow profound, alternative, angst-ridden and it'll just Brittnay Spears with a bit of badly applied make-up and a scowl on her face. As for the Doors, a cheesey lounge bar act.

You are right...but wrong sorry

More than one musician in a group?
And I'm sorry, but Jimi Hendrix Experience IS a band.

Please guys, before you comment on old bands.. learn about them....

Oasis without a shadow of a doubt

Psss...the only talented ones were hendrix and his drummer...no more...no band

Thank christ no one has mentioned Limp Bizkit...

Testament aren't bad tho... for old skool rock
Also A Perfect Circle... especially "EMOtive" since it's all political rock... and what a great cover of 'Imagine"

The Doors, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix.

Hmmmm,-

AC/DC- Bon Scott era
VAN HALEN- DLR era
JIMI HENDRIX any era
DEEP PURPLE
TED NEUGENT

Hahaha, trying to say the the Jimi Hendrix Experience wasn't a band? That's pretty funny.

Any of u guys know were i can download heaps of 'early' Van Halen, Diamond Dave yrs...video clips only, would apprieciate it alot. thanks.

... I give up, I can't formulate a reply for something as ignorant as that.
