Greatest rock band ever

[Zoot Allures]

King Crimson is my vote although there will be no movie made about them

 

[glamphotographer]

Back Street Boys. opcorn: :bolt:

 

[Goodoer]

Heart or Metallica

 

[Insidious Von]

After The Beatles. The band that killed the psychedelic era, according to John Lennon.

I saw King Crimson once, Robert Fripp wanted to play only disco music. Nearly caused a riot.

Get everyone's entitled to their opinion , but greatest rock band ever - c'mon !

 

[yomero5]

I've never heard of King Crimson.

I've never heard of King Crimson.

That's sinful!!

 

[Insidious Von]

Robert Fripp is a prick to his fans but he seems to bring out the best in fellow musicians. Bill Bruford quit Yes to be part of his projects. And there is no doubt he had a profound effect on David Bowie.

 

[spaman]

the Beatles by a far margin

Its all subjective of course but top 3 are beatles, led zeppelin, rolling stones according to most polls.

I think they're death metal...so is Metallica...
I'm big fan of Nazareth & Scorpions though...

I've always loved The Kinks.Brilliant songwriting, eclectic musical styles.

I wouldn't argue with that, but I'd say The Who should be mentioned along with them. One of the best live bands of all time.

 

[unassuming]

Beatles, The Who , Pink Floyd are my picks, never was a fan of the Stones or Led Zep.

Like 'em or not I think what can't be disputed is their brilliance. Dig deep into each band and the talent is off the charts.

Agreed. Maybe the most talented band ever. They were basically comprised as frontmen, any one of them could be the leader in any other band.

SO

3 consecutive albums in a row that are all in the greatest albums of all time.

Tommy (first rock opera)
Who's Next (considered the first heavy metal album)
Quadrophenia (not any firsts--just amazing rock)
