I didn't mean to stomp all over your choices, I get overly defensive, and apologize.





I am the EXACT same die-hard way with music.

Are you my long lost twin?

Zguy - RHCP are very overrated. All of their music sounds the same. They do put on a killer live concert, but Alice Cooper trumps them for live shows, hands down. And the Sex Pistols were 10 times more frenetic (you were probably not born in time to see the Sex Pistols, sorry about that). If you think RHCP are better than Nirvana and Alice in Chains, you obviously have been in Flea's heroin.

It's so hard to pin point 1 'best rock band of all time' when everyone has different music choices. Look at Rolling Stone magazines list of greatest guitarist...that was a complete embarrassemnt to some of the greatest guitarists ever to grace this earth! But then again, there goes MY opinion.

BTW, if we're talking live concerts as a measure, I'll rank George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers up there. Monodimensional music, but he's good at it and he sure knows how to put on a show!

I know VH1 recently did a 100 greatest banks countdown, but I don't recall who they had as the top 3. I can't get to their website, blocked by firewall. If someone can to their website and post them, that would be great.

I should PM Fightin Blue Hen to check in on this thread. A radio station he and I listen to (WXPN) recently did a listener survey of the 885 best albums, and then played them. Listening to the playlist was a lot like reading this thread; you may have a firm idea of your favorites, but when you see (or hear) someone else's choices, you sometimes think "How did I forget that band or that album?"

#1. Zeppelin
#2. Zeppelin
#3. Zeppelin

Creatively, there are many, many more that pushed musical boundaries. Queen, Iggy Pop, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Moody Blues and the Yardbirds are some that I haven't seen mentioned yet. Nine Inch Nails too. But overall it has to be Zeppelin for creativity, longevity, show quality and recording quality.

I would have to throw in Guns n Roses in the mix.
Just on Appetite for Destruction alone. That was a great album.

It's a shame Axl is such a _______ and had to throw it all away.

I guess you did not hear the recent interview with Robert Plant who said he had not been offered a lot of money to get the band back together, but he wouldn't do it anyway because Zep was a "boy band" and he is beyond that.
