1.Spice Girls 2.Metalica 3.The Beatles 4.Black SabbathAnti-Venom

Oh ha ha, very funny.

Putting The Beatles in a top 4 :roll: :P.

To be honest though you're probably just as likely to get called out for including The Beatles as you are for including the Spice Girls on this forum. It's the band everyone likes to pretend they hate.

I don't hate them but I don't pretend to not like them. I just don't enjoy their music.

I'm surprised to see you include Pink Floyd. I love Pink Floyd. :D

I've been really into their album Meddle recently. I think it is one of their best.

What do you think of Animals? When it comes to Pink Floyd albums, that album is probably one of their lesser talked about albums. I can understand that, because it's very different from most of their work, but personally I think it's one of my favorite albums of theirs.

Animals is a great one too. Atom Heart Mother is another one that isnt mentioned much. My favorite of theirs is probably Wish you were here. What do you think of The Final Cut, The Division Bell, and A Momentary lapse of reason.

1. Iron Maiden

2. Mastodon

3. Death

4. Nevermore

5. Alice In Chains

After number one they can be mixed and matched and it doesn't matter, but Maiden is the greatest band of all time.

I wouldn't be listening to the Floyd if it wasn't for Atom Heart Mother. My second favourite album of theirs.

PerilousWolf

Very good list. I would take out Iron Maiden though and put someone else (personally) like the Ramones or Queen or the NY Dolls or something. Very good list though. Not like the trash most of the lists I have seen are!

Here is my personal top 5:

AC/DC

Rage Against the Machine

Tool

Black Sabbath

Korn/Slipknot

God that list is boring. The Beatles are as overrated as Radiohead. I'm sorry but The Beatles just write catchy love songs with jingles that even a five year old can understand. Try looking for a bit of substance when making your list!

this guy clearly has the best music taste in this whole thread :D For me it would be (in no particular order) Jimi Hendrix Led Zeppelin King Crimson The Beatles (not a huge fan but you have to appreciate what they did for popular music)

Big_Bad_Sad

This is probably the most realistic list so far.

IMO...

1. Led Zeppelin

2. The Beatles

3. Queen

4. Pink Floyd

KHfanboy2

Or this.

Great is subjective. Thus there is no realistic just preference.

I'd never debate the best bands ever. I know my bands aren't "revolutionaries" or anything, but my five favorites are: 1a) Incubus 1b) Blink-182 3) Coheed and Cambria 4) Foo Fighters 5) Sum 41
