I have to say that between the mid 80's to Mid 90's no one did in better then Metallica. Metallica in that time spam made just some of the most incredible and unique rock music that has ever been put out. I do not like their last few albums but their old stuff is just still incredible.

Ps. I don't consider the Beatles to be Rock

Fu Manchu are my favorite but I don't think I could consider them the greatest rock band of all time

Led Zep, Black Sabbath, and Faith No More/Mr. Bungle. The last two are criminally underrated considering that I have yet to find any bands remotely like them and they influenced a ton of bands during the 90s.

True but remeber Metallica from Black album on is rock, but thats a completly different disscussion. Anyway best rock band? Hmmmm AC/DC? Not much coming to mind right now. I've got metal on the brain know.

It's good, but there's better. Guns N Roses's Appetite for Destruction carries not only better written and played music, but it had a more profound impact on the course of music history as well.

Black Sabbath is easily my favorite metal band of all time. Zep is great. I just listened to The Real Thing this week for the first time in a while, and that really is a good album. Faith No More is definitely underrated.

In general, I'd say Sabbath, Floyd, Zeppelin, The Stones, The Kinks, The Stooges are in my top ten list. To say there is a "best" rock band of all time is impossible, unless you're strictly judging from album sales...in that case, it's The Beatles. Selling a lot of albums doesn't necessarily equate to being the best. For example, Michael Jackson sold a ton of records and I love his music, but as far as true artistic expression and talent goes, Stevie Wonder blows him out of the water.

The Allman Brothers Band. As I've said in a similiar thread, no one is as talented as they are in Blues or Rock. It's their live albums that just blow my mind.

Depends what you mean by "best". Most consistent? Most influential? It's a tough call regardless.

Agreed. Nothing surpasses the sheer talent and technicality of Nickelback's music. Chad Krueger is a lyrical god.

Paul Weller - a guy with a guitar, THE MODFATHER, He is a regular human being, with style, with substance. He is an old man with experience, and with absolutely no pretense.

That was probably an experience. It's too bad I never got to see them live while they were in their prime.

Why make this topic? Everyone's just gonna keep listening the standard classic rock bands that come up in a conversation about classic rock.
