Best Band Ever?

[I am the Future]

Fallout Boy is frieken the best after Green Day. Every other is poser, emo, too gangster, poser gangster, screamer, Backstreet Boys/N'Sync type bands, or just plain boring like bluegrass and other oldies.

I don't really consider Fallout Boy to be emo. Simply one of the best bands all around, without genre distinction.

Fallout Boy is Pop punk, they arnt Emo, they are Definetly Posers, though the video with the deer boy was creative, that dosnt make up for the fact that they are sell outs just like greenday.

I think he ment Longview when he said the Song about masterbation.

Beatles win hands down. Listen to Abbey Road, Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepers, Revolver, or the white album and tell me I am wrong.

 

[The Condor]

I like Paul McCartney better than the Beatles.

Who is that question directed at?

sorry was directed at the person who made the first comment about tool being emo.

 

[BCLG100]

If emo girls weren't so damn hot, I'd have them all destroyed a long time ago.

Back to topic:
Nevermore is the greatest band ever.

im sorry what? maybe my experience is different but there are very few groups of girls that follow music that i find less attractive.

Oh, theres a Green Day song or two that talk about masturbation.

Maybe posers by their apparel, but songs beat most I've heard by far. Sellouts? How do you come to this conclusion?

Also Check out Flight of The Conchords, they call themselves New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo. They are like tenacious D except they are witty and they are good musicians.

Shihad is the best band in New Zealand!

 

[I am the Future]

Atlas: i get to that because they are. They have had to hit songs on MTV in the past 6 months, and al of the preps at my school listen to it because they think it is what kids who a "Punk rock" listen to, and it is cool to be "Punkrock"

More proof that the beatles are teh best band ever is in my sig.

"There are two types of people in the world, Beatles people and Elvis people, Now beatles people can like elvis and elvis people can like the beatles but nobody can like them both the same."-Uma Therman.
Also, If oyu name youre favorite band because you dont know Elvis or The Beatles(shame on you) its ok because Bands fit ito those categories too.
Decide which one you are.

Not really. It's a nice sounding quote but complete crap. It's more like you're either prefer the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. Which is still a dumb question IMO.

And who did The Beatles idolize? Elvis and Buck Owens, so those two win by default as far as anyone who previously picked The Beatles must be concerned.

^ Didn't I say they wouldn't read what I posted? Sometimes, people just don't want to know the truth!

D*mn people, how many times do I have to say Chuck Berry Keith Richards, John Lennon, George Harrison and Mcartney all idolized him growing up. Johnny B. Goode people.

I'm just gonna keep out of this arguement about influence and put in Queen and Crowded House as some non-mentioned great bands.

Influence isn't really important in my opinion, it's the resulting sound that's is.

@Che: I was just kidding around a bit. I'm not personally all that much of a Beatles are great fellow, though there are plenty of their songs I like, so I was just teasing those good folks who were saying The Beatles are the greatest. Everybody knows it's the Stones anyway.

@Rambuchan: I confess I didn't read all five pages closely. I was just quickly scanning the posts to see what folks were putting down for their favorites, skipping any (like yours which I have now read) lengthy posts.

right now its Jimi hendrix for me

they wouldn't be pop-punk. pop-punk is a genre that has alot of credibility. sum41, simple plan, good charlotte are NOT pop-punk, they are power pop. pop-punk includes such great bands as NOFX and the Buzzcocks.

i like some of the nofx stuff, find nubs hilarious. would have to say fallout boy are more emo than anything else.

 

[Communisto]

no, they aren't emo. Emo bands have a hardcore sound, not a poppy sounds

 

[BCLG100]

then a better way to describe them are?

I hate people who say there emo just because they listen to some bands and are convinced there emo (i dont listen to fall out boy btw cant stand them) someone i knew was convinced they were emo because they listened to coldplay.

The master of misintepretation strikes again! :sigh: I gotta stop taking stuff so literally...

Yeah, I could accept the stones. I'll add 'em to the list right after Stevie Wonder

 

[Arachnaphobia]

Hard to narrow it down to just one... but Radiohead are quality.

 

[BCLG100]

I've been listening to a lot of AC/DC recently as well, i appreciate they arnt the best ever but some of their songs are fairly memorable back in black etc.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

Nothing I listen to.

 

[toh6wy]

Nothing I listen to.

Best is all relative. Why would you otherwise listen to your music as opposed to the "best" music?

Besides, I know you listen to Dream Theater. I'd put that in the running.
