Greatest band in rock history?
- Thread starter alwayslooking
- Start date
You DO realize that U2 holds the record for THEE highest grossing concert tour EVER with the 360 show which wraps up on Saturday night in Moncton I believe.
I'd say U2 knows how to rock.
I don't know about now...but when I saw them many years ago at Massey Hall and the Gardens they were a great, great live band.
While not my favourites perhaps Elvis or Chuck Berry for being the godfathers of Rock n Roll.
On that list I would argue that the Beatles were the greatest in that they were the most influential of all those bands (sociallly and artistically). Very innovative in terms of production as well.
Led Zep gets a nod or honourable mention for being influential in heavy metal circles.
Hendrix would get honourable mentions as well for changing the way people played the guitar.

The Beatles
The Beatles will be listened to 100 years from now; they are profound in their simplicity.
From 1995 to the Present the greatest band has to be Tool.

I agree with you shack. The Who were amazing especially with Moon and Townshend is a genius! I'll still go see the two remaining guys anytime they play!
Heard on the radio today that Townsend is working on a re-release for Quadrophenia. (One of my favourite songs is "Love Reign O'er me" - unforgettable.)
I agree, the Who are an amazing band and definitely belong on the list, despite the fact that they ceased being innovators 30 years ago and Daltry's voice is all but gone.
But in their day, they were brilliant.

Love The Who. They put out a lot of good music from mid-60s to end of the 70s. Not many bands have as a great a 15-year run as them. But with the death of Keith Moon and the Cincinatti tragedy, they were pretty much a spent force. Again it's all opinions but the Beatles and Stones never did it for me. Also agree that Aerosmith and Eagles don't belong on the list. The Clash and Queen definitely should be given consideration.
