:1orglaugh Because the Beatles are Brits, mate. No Oz vs. US to argue!

Misfits

Jimi Hendrix Experience

Jimi Hendrix Band Of Gypsys

While it's not really an obvious or very popular pick, I'd have to say The Clash. They may not have started punk, but they went way beyond what any other punk band ever went. You've got the earlier raw stuff, may not have been as much as a symbol of punk as the Sex Pistols or the Ramones, but those bands are icons because all their songs sound the same and represent a single genre. The Clash would write a song in any genre. Some is gritty punk rock, some is reggae, some is more country, and alot of it is a great mix of all of those. There's so many bands that came after them who sound like a certain Clash song. They may have heavy influence on a punk band, a ska band, a reggae band or even a hip-hop group. Remember that the first major hip hop tour was The Clash/Granmaster Flash. I don't think there's any other band who's done so much for so many other artists and whole genres of music.

where's metaform to reply "Eminem"?

Fortunately, this isn't a "best-looking band" thread, becauee they sure don't LOOK like a bunch of musical geniuses.

Jesus, man, what can we do to fix this horrible situaution! Is there a pissing match in this anywhere? :1orglaugh How about...George Martin-the REAL 5th Beatle. Yay or nay? BTW I am not a huge Beatle collector like you but I do have a gem from my childhood. My first Beatles album was one of the Vee-Jay releases-I think it was called "Introducing the Fabulous Beatles!" or something.I can't go check cuz all my vinyl is in Phoenix W/ my bro- some of the tracks are "Chains", "Anna", "Boys","Do You Want to Know a Secret","Twist and Shout" and other covers I can' remember now. Unfortunately it is trashed to hell. :(

Yeah but whenever i see a pic of The Beatles - any pic - I can't help but smile.

Just all the good associations I guess. :winkwink:

That sounds like some kind of US version of "Please Please Me".

I'm a little fuzzy on it's history but Vee-Jay was a Chicago company that released two albums of material they somehow got the rights to after Capitol's release of "Meet the Beatles." UPDATE- interesting story http://www.dermon.com/Beatles/Veejay.htm

Is it just me or do the boys look a little high?

George looks wasted.

Paul looks stoned but not quite as high as George.

spice girls,

but
Ginger spice left so now they are totally out

actually on a serious note, if u think about sharon lois and bram,

thye have managed to stay alive with kids for generations and generations.

and kids change throughout time and they have managed stay on the map

Hooray! It's pissn' time, mate!:glugglug Ringo is fucking stoned out of his mind and John is obviously flying on acid!:stoned

extremely fucking retarded question to bother asking (and it's been asked on gfy at least 10 times already).

nitty gritty dirt band, hands down.

when i first learned guitar i was taught all metallica stuff. so, i'm partial to metallica cause musically a lot of the songs are amazing.

I can't beleive no one has mentioned the greatest band in the world.

Primus.

Ein Hundert.

when we ride on our enemies!

100!

fuck, white aussie was fasta :(

Owned! :glugglug

I guess it's impossible to say this is the all-time best band.
My the most favourite is Jethro Tull but I don't want to forget about Pink Floyd , Rolling Stones , THe Cure , U2 , Fairport Convention , Police , Sex Pistols , Dire Straits , Placebo , Black Sabbath , Uriah heep , Faithless , Peter Gabriel band ,
THe best rocker of all ages is probably Ludwig van Beethowen - just imagine what songs he would write if he had an electric quitar:thumbsup
What I don't like is music of The beatles - but I respect that they are probably the most respected music group of all time for lots of people

Coldplay

Metallica is my fav...they put on a great live show!!
