paul is dead

paul is dead

Ok, for the most part The beatles should not be on this list, because if it wasn't for them, most of the others would not exist.
Just like if not for Elvis the Beatles wouldn't of got turned on.

But look at the beatles, 3 of 4 of the band were famous on their own also and everyone knows all 4 of their names.

Grateful Dead were great, but mainly only Jerry.

Led Zepplin is the greatest rock band aside from the Beatles.

The Stones were just imitators, of the beatles. The drummer
is cool. Jagger is a big pussy.

Best Guitarist, no doubt is Jimi, His first few albums are
very creative. His isle of Wight playing is excellent.

peace.

Jethro Tull

...been around forever
still putting out good stuff (though it gets no airplay)
rich and smart (unlike most rock bands...no OD's, jail, death, bankruptcies)

..never hear about anything bad about them in the news



smart enough to invest the money...so they can do what they like when they like, and dont need to pimp themselfs out like so many other bands

They have all fed my musical animal at one time or the other, along with a ton of others.

I can see where you might have some trouble choosing Zep ...:cool:

Peace Mo,

the Doors/Jim was great
I carried around the book "no one here, gets out alive" with me in high school like a bible for a few months

...but they didn't last long before Jim burnt out and started to fade away (even before his death)

and Rays prolonged keyboarding can get old real fast

love the stuff like L.A. woman, riders of the storm, the end
really hate stuff like, hellow I love you, light my fire

so as the greatest "band"...they can't get my vote

The max u could list in the poll was 15, sorry so many other great bands got left out. I love Frank Zappa ie "Titties and Beer" my favorite, when he's talking too the devil about eating his girlfriend Chrissy.

everyone knows that musical perfection was reached in 1973, with dark side of the moon!

There can be only one "Led Zeppelin"

Can't escape their influence at all, even today just about all current rock bands copy Zep.

Of course the dead are my first choice...
But the doors are a very close second...
Jim Morrison was an incredible poet, and the doors sure could jam...

Frank's cool as hell also... don't you eat that yellow snow... lol

The best band bar none

The best band bar none

The best band is up there in Heaven.

Lennon, Marley, Allman, Presley, Garcia, Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin, Harrison and Bonham
as the drummer.

Imagine
Duane Allman playing slide
Hendrix playing his stratocaster and flying v
Presley to sing.
Joplin to electrify. and bring the southern comfort
Garcia to do a long slow jam.
Marley to bring the reefer.
Bonham to keep beat.
Lennon to compose. and play rythym guitar
Morrison to sing Light my Fire. and bring the acid.
Harrison to assist with the guitar, slide and riffs.

Bet there is a pretty good Country Band up there too.
