Worlds Greatest Rock Roll Band...

[Hot Space]

Lucky bastard! I'm to young to have been able to see Queen live

He-He

 

[FLYBOYJ]

ALL YOU YOUNGINS LISTEN UP!​

Beatles: they are the Bible of rock, even Dylan admitted it....

​

 

[Desert Fox]

I'd have to agree, the Beatles kick arse. But still, they werent as hardcore as AC/DC!
It was a hard choice, so many good bands, but AC/DC won it for me in the end.

 

[Heinz]

Beatles weren;t as 'hardcore' because they werent a hard rock band.....

However listen to Helter Skelter off the white album a definite sign of things to come.

 

[Njaco]

I thought the Beatles were a given here? The best band AFTER the Beatles

Its a Long Way to the Top If You Wanna Rock -n-Roll!

Best song to blast on a summer day with the top down and the doors off!

 

[Matt308]

That is a good one. That's another thread we should make. SONG WHICH MOST REMINDS YOU OF SUMMER. Or GREATEST PARTY SONG.

 

[lesofprimus]

Start it up Matt....

 

[pbfoot]

The Beatles without doubt were the torch bearers for all hard rock bands

 

[Heinz]

Personally reckon that Stones and Cream are the real origins. Dont get me wrong the BEatles had some quite heavy tracks for their time. I have the entire catalogue pretty much so Im fan

 

[plan_D]

The Beatles set the stage, but that doesn't make them the best.

 

[Ajax]

They were the most original, you can't disagree with that.

 

[plan_D]

I don't have to. There's plenty of other bands that have created a new style, and had no one before them.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

They were the most original, you can't disagree with that.

Compared to who?

More original than Black Sabbath? I think not...

 

[lesofprimus]

We're getting into some cross-type musical tastes here I think.... Maybe an age thing, not sure, but guys like Adler, pD and myself listen to the heavier, more Modern Rock. whilst some are more into Classic Rock...

Arguing about it is almost silly...

I took "Rock and Roll in popular culture" class in college and our text book said that Montrose (Sammy Haggar's start) was the first true hard rock band.

 

[lesofprimus]

HA!

 

[pbfoot]

It certainly is age related I liked Black Sabbath but when Ozzy split general consensus thought he became bubble gum . I think as electronics evolved and and synsthysers improved it certainly changed music . Does anybody remember the Moog it cost huge dollars upwards of $50k in 1968 and now you are able to buy the equivalant thing for fractions .

Not the greatest band, but god**** did I wear that record out! I think I've bought that album (records/CDs) probably 4 or 5 times.

 

[Lucky13]

The Rock n Roll and music died with Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens....end of story. The best bands lived and died in the 50's and 60's.
To be honest fellow forum travellers, people today are too lazy to write their own stuff, don't you think? I mean, how many times to hear a new boyband, girlband or group coming out and the first that you hear is a cover of an old song... Have they run out of imagination?
Just being a wee bit grumpy I need my sugar fix....

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Rock has not died my friend, and the real great bands today still write there own music.

I think you need to get out of the 50s and 60s and move on...
