Re: Best Band Ever!!!!!!! You choose and share you're thoughts!!!!!

hey hey...

I agree with everyone...hard to pick one !

Mama was a swing baby. All day it was Glen Miller,

Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway, etc.

made me the swing drummer i am today. ha

then night in the midwest.... am radio-wls out of chicago.

jethro tull, zz top, deep purple, the doors, hendrix,

zepplin...daytime radio-the beatles, folk, and bubblegum!

so i vote for the archies, for that timeless classic-

sugar sugar.

peace, slim

First off for sheer skill and song writing, producing, quality, and insanity has to go to Dream theater,


but to be honest, neal morse has to take it for me, the music is so diverse and he records the drums, bass, guitar, vocals, keys, theremin, and whatever else he includes himself, he includes so many styles from typical rock, to almsot carnival music crosses with ballads and epic classical sections.


try em out they are incredable

Re: Best Band Ever!!!!!!! You choose and share you're thoughts!!!!!

As far as bands go it is impossible to name just one so here are my favs in no particular order:  Pink Floyd,  Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Cream, Eagles, Skynyrd,  the Allman Brothers, ZZTop.  I could name a few more because it is hard to choose just a few.  They are all great in their genre and this short list leaves out solo artists like Hendrix, Stevie Ray, Eric Clapton when he was on his own.  I will leave it at that, although I am sure I left out a few.

Re: Best Band Ever!!!!!!! You choose and share you're thoughts!!!!!

best band in the world ever has to be Nirvana, they created a genre!!!!! you only get a handful of bands like that, or even soloists, like Elvis, i'm not really a fan but he was HUGE, in 2ways of course, and another Jimi Hendrix, not a fan, but great guitarist. anyway, as i was saying Nirvana are the best band in my opinion, followed by bands such as Sex Pistols, Alice In Chains, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joy Division and many more grunge and Brit Punk bands, the only thing you should be proud of being English about is Brit Punk, well, among other things, but in music that's it, and Indie ok, like the Arctic Monkeys and bands like The Who ans Pink Floyd... ok i'm babbling, i'll shushshush now, and yeah, Nirvana rule wooo R.I.P. Kurt Cobain.
