Greatest American Rock Band?????

[little rock]

I would have to say:

1. The Doors
1 (a). Creedence


What do ya'll think? I always thought this was interesting to hear a response on this. I really don't consider Hendrix to be in a "Band".

Sorry, But IMO the doors are the most over rated rock band in History..

If you want to go vintage like the Doors, you should have looked closer at the Stones... Easily one of the best. Zepplin is another exceptional band... YOU can also make arguements for AC/DC, Aerosmith and the Eagles.

 

[Bob Smith]

I dont like the Stones. AC/DC sucks more ass than FreakyFreddy on a Saturday night. Aerosmith is good.

Though I dont like most of their new stuff, I think Metallica is one of the best ever. But they dont has as wide appeal as a band like Aerosmith that have fans from all different genres and age groups.

AC/DC and Zeppelin are both british bands by the way..

metallica is definitely up there...im also a huge smashing pumpkins fan

They still suck. Every one of their songs sounds the same. Its the main guy just screamin at the top of his lungs. They would probably make a list of the Top 100 of all time, but nowhere even remotely close to top 10 or 25. I would put them around 98th, right after Cher and before Milli Vanilli.

Britney has a handful of platinum albums and she sucks, too. Id like to find out how well, I mean, much she sucks, but thats another topic for another day.

no kiddin. Angus Young is one of the best guitar players of all time. And by the way they're from Australia.

Also they were one of the bands I started losing my hearing to in the 70's......11

im sure ill get a lot of shit for this..but nirvana has to be in the top 10

AC/DC has lasted through 4 decades, and through the death of a lead singer (Bon Scott). You can't compare Britney spears to AC/DC... If she is still singing songs (that other people write for her) after 4 decades..then yeah, she can be considered one of the best...and if she ever has 13 International..not just u.s. But EURO, and Australian markets as well. I disagree with you.. And IIRC VH-1's Top Rock bands of all time put them in the top 10.

Sorry Bob, but Numbers and time prove your statement wrong.. We're all entitled to our own oppinions.

Good call bro.

 

[Phreezer]

Nirvana... Hey bro, if you like them, good for you, but IMO they are the second most over rated rock band.. Just my Oppinion... (I still wouldn't mention Britney spears or Milli Vanilli in a comparison with them though) Bob's just plain mean....

 

[Bob Smith]

Sorry Bob, but Numbers and time prove your statement wrong.. We're all entitled to our own oppinions.

Its my opinion, so its not wrong. I think they suck ass and wont listen to them at all. I wont even listen to a full song before I change the station to something else. IMO, they blow and no amount of awards or sales will change that. To each their own.

My comparison with Britney was that she has sold a ton of albums, but that doesnt make her a good singer or really good at anything other than looking hot and dancing. Jessica Simpson and Christina are way more talented.

i used to be a huge pearl jam fan back in high school too

[Phreezer]

Your kidding right??????

uhhhh... NONE of these people even write their own music...OR play an instrument.. you can plug any of the three into any of each others songs and they'll sound the same...blah blah blah..

LMAO!!.. Dude, I don't mean to laugh.. but you just mentioned the word talent in the same sentence as Agulara and Simpsom...bwhwhahahahahaa...

Hey though... your right.. everyone has a right to their oppinion...and oppinions can't be wrong... (they can be ohhh so gay... but not wrong )

 

[Bob Smith]

You can be talented without writing or playing an instrument. Pavorotti probably doesnt write his own material, yet hes one of the best ever. Now, in no way am I comparing skill levels of Pav. to any of the chicks mentioned. Let me rephrase what I meant, Christinas vocal abilities are much better than Britneys.

I dont think writing your own songs should be the determining factor of whether a band is great or not. Two separate skills and not many people can successfully do both. It is more impressive if they can do both but I dont think less of, say Garth Brooks, because some of his songs were written by other people.
