The Greatest Band of All Time Is?

[Nosferatu]

Obviously it's nothing personal, if we all liked the same things the world would be a boring place...

 

[GNG]

How did you not include these guys?

That singer resembles Neil Young.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

RATT

 

[Vitamike]

Round and Round...

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

IMO the top 5 bands of all time are:

1. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
2. Shenandoah
3. Confederate Railroad
4. Statler Brothers
5. Lynyrd Skynyrd

Top 5 solo artists:

1. Waylon Jennings
2. Merle Haggard
3. Willie Nelson
4. George Jones
5. tie between Buck Owens and Keith Whitley

Lynyrd Skynyrd has some awesome tunes. For southern rock, I also like Allman Bros and Black Crowes.

Sorry no offense... But the poll isn't who's the most overrated band of all time...

Yoga you know I couldn't just list 50 bands. I do like most of the ones on your list but being you gave my Dead post a bullshit I guess I shouldn't also say the Beach Boys were/are also way overrated...

Meh...don't sweat it,dude....but I undid that emoji a few hrs ago and gave you a facepalm instead...and if you really were concerned about an "overrated" band being listed...then you might have reconsidered at least 4 (imho) from your own list and not included them.
But I digress.....it is what it is. No worries.

I'll simply point put that the mighty Grateful Dead played before more people than any of the other bands...the good lot of them combined.

C'mon... I'm pretty sure you can figure it out....

Beatles and Zeppelin would be the kings of rock and best bands HOWEVER afterwards i would give the two bands below consideration......As far as influence Beatles,Zeppelin followed by AC/DC and KISS

AC/DC and KISS... AC/DC is probably the biggest seller among the heaviest rock bands and KISS has more gold albums than any American rock band in history. KISS has 26 gold albums and sold over 100 million records over a period of over 40 years that is impressive staying power. KISS has been continually putting out gold and platinum albums almost every year or two since KISS Alive! sold four million albums in 1975. AC/DC has been putting out albums since around the same period of time as well and have sold a bit more around 110 million or so and also have the best selling hard rock album ever Back In Black which has sold over twenty million in America alone.

The Beatles had a window from 1964-1970 for their creativity. Short lived and forever changed music. In the late sixties and early seventies every band was trying to be unique and the Beatles were the leaders.

[MIKE75]

lol.so who do you think would be the biggest bands?

 

[MIKE75]

Certain bands come out of nowhere. Who would've thought that Nirvana a little three piece band on a tiny indie label in the northwest would explode into the biggest band of the decade? Nevermind the band's second album knocked Michael Jackson out of the number one spot. A year earlier barely anyone knew who they were.
