im sadden by the lack of this true super group....LED ****ING ZEPPLIN!!!!!!!unless of course this thread was started by some college radio station listening to indie type and/or is totally ones OWN best band ever poll.*sigh*.and since the word''EVER'' is included in this thread,it cant be restricted to bands still touring.so 1)WITHOUT QUESTION IS LED ZEP 2)PINK FLOYD 3)love em or hate em..PEARL JAM*(their early work,after ''yield'' i gave up) 4)BLONDIE(yes im old school.im not at all impressed by what MTV AND TRL LIVE CREW are calling bands.) these next 2 are not faves of mine but respect must be paid due to their longevity..5)ROLLING STONES(dont they look as though the next cold one of them catches could mean death?) and 6)AEROSMITH(they kinda popped out didnt they....TY MTV!!!!!!YOU ****ING TALENT SAPPING,***** MAKING BEAST!!!!!!!!) 7)RED HOT CHILLY PEPPERS 8)THE BEATLES(after their''i wanna hold your hand'' and ''i love you -yeah yeah yeah''bull ****!!!!!!!!!) 9)BOB ****** AND THE *******.....raggae all kinda/sorta sound the same doesnt it?!?!?!?!?im not a fan of theirs but they were the best of that genre. and 10)PUBLIC ENEMY.....again,im no fan of rap but this is 1 band that had more to say than how many women theyre going to dog out and the money theyre making.they truly had an agenda.now if asked for MY TOP 10(GROUP AND/OR SOLOIST)here it is......1)SEAL-go on and laugh/mock but i like a band/solo artist that can change gears fluidly....want a strong non cliched ballad,check....want a dance club radio friendly hit,check...want a rock and roll song,check.SEAL can do it all.how many bands/acts can boast that?!?!? 2)MIDGE URE-yes,THAT MIDGE URE of ULTRAVOX(proabably way before anyone heres time.....the 80's)they WERE new wave and MIDGE has since gone on to do emo rock,ala REM only with a killer voice and much harder edge.he also writes and plays all instrumments. 3)THE CULT yes theyre riding on fumes now but when they were on,they were on!!!!4)BRAND NEW HEAVIES 5)MASSIVE ATTACK-PORISHEAD(i would have ranked PH ahead of MA but after PH's debut,they fell off. 6)THE FRAMES DC(absolutely no one knows of them but when i play them im asked who is this and where can i find them.....trust me 7)PAT BENETAR....not the best lyrisit but can you show me a chick with better chops??!?!?her band was/is(?) pretty tight as well. 8)SATCHEL/BRAD...different groups but same members.....i dont know why either(think of nirvana with a piano player and someone who doesnt have to scream to be heard) 9)RADIOHEAD....excluding their last 2 piles of excrement.someones head getting too big?!?!?!?!?!? and finally 10)COCTEAU TWINS...no joke.although they sang is their native irish tongue,their melodies and beats were simply beautiful.their most radio friendly cd''heaven or las vegas'' had songs sung in weird english.i can pretty much guarantee if anyone gave a listen to any of the bands stated,theyd rearrange their lists.my all time list surpercedes my faves list.thank you,drive through pls.
