yep, some kids will say "uh?", but these groups are the bestest ever. The new ones are just recycled copycats.

they´re ON.

btw, the only good music i find these days is DJ Tiesto, he, uh, MIXS !!!

Bloc Party and Kayzer Chiefs sounds good, but theyre still copying 80s and 90s sounds..

No offense but cutting your self, wearing girl pants, straightening your hair, wearing chick t-shirts, all those and more scream queer.

LOL, true

Shouldn't the thread read greatest band of the last ten minutes (not including any bands that existed anytime before yesterday)?

Beatles hands down.  I like them but I'm not a huge fan, regardless they were the biggest most innovative and influential group in music history.  I guarantee bands like my chemical romance will be nothing but highschool nostalgia in 10 years.

Greatest Rock and Roll bands of all-time:

1. Led Zeppelin - Maybe the Stones or somebody have as many good songs, but as a percentage of what they put out, nobody comes close. You can make a strong case for nearly every single Led Zeppelin song if you're arguing about a "top ten songs" deal. Look at Stairway, Kashmir, Rock-n-roll, Black Dog, Communication Breakdown, The Immigrant Song, Moby Dick, and on and on and on. There is no disputing that Led Zeppelin is the premier rock and roll band of all time.

2. The Rolling Stones - Maybe due mostly to longevity, but you can make a similar list for the Stones, who by the way kick ass live.

3. The Who - often forgotten when discussing greatest rock bands, but they have a list of "classics" that won't take a back seat to anybody.

4. Pink Floyd - an acquired taste, but Dark Side of the Moon's Billboard Top 100 record alone makes them worthy of inclusion. Of course, The Wall has become part of the lexicon of modern society.

5. And this is where it gets dicey. I think the top 4 are pretty well irrefutable, but when you get to #5 there are plenty who can make a strong case. Among those are Queen, Jethro Tull, ZZ Top, Van Halen, U2, Ozzy/Black Sabbath, Aerosmith (who I don't like) et al.

I didn't include the Beatles because I just don't consider them "rock and roll" in the sense of the word that we have come to understand today. I love their early stuff (I wanna hold your hand, etc.) but it's not what I call rock and roll.

Country:

I don't think it's as cut and dried with country, but I have to say that in Texas, Bob Wills is still the King.

I go:

1. Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys
2. Willie Nelson
3. Johnny Cash
4. George Jones
5. Waylon Jennings
6. George Strait
7. Merle Haggard
8. Hank Williams Sr.
9. David Allan Coe
10. Hank Williams Jr.

Classical:

1. Mozart

After Mozart you can throw a blanket of 15 guys including Bach, Brahms, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Stravinsky, et al.

I just decided this: Led Zeppelin is the Mozart of Rock and Roll. Everyone else is fighting for second.

null vote. they're mediocre at best, and most i can't stand.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, none of the above ?
