Who is the greatest rock and roll band ever ?

I think it's Pink Floyd . what do you think ?Who is the greatest rock and roll band ever ?
Yeah i agree with Pink Floyd. Never get tired of listening to them.
The Rolling Stones, unequivocally. Floyd was without a doubt one of the best and most successful psychedelia bands and their continued popularity and record sales proves it. Still in overall parameters of greatness the Rolling Stones beat everyone. And just so you know - the Stones are not even my favorite band!Who is the greatest rock and roll band ever ?
The Beatles. They changed music far more than any band ever has or ever will.

The Beatles were first to do a lot of things. People were attracted to them partly because they were English and different from American bands. Not to mention they had been together for years and they had a tight sound and when they covered some of the American music, everyone got a new look at the pop culture. They started writing their own music and through their originality a new sound happened. They were so sucessful, that in order to get noticed, other bands felt that they needed to fashion their music after to the sound of the Beatles. The clothes they wore influenced everybody. Bell bottoms were in, and people started cutting their hair in the same style. It was fashionable to take after the Beatles. the effect of the beatles is everlasting on Music. Their sound was original and their look was different, this led to the outbreak of freedom during the sixties. Without the beatles there wouldn't be metal, The Song "Helter Skelter" marked the beginning of Metal which would become more popular in the eighties. It was one of the first rays of sunshine after Kennedy died and it was a needed distraction for the cold war, and considering they had 27 #1 hits that had to have inspired some later bands, it could be anyone because they were not known for their huge guitar and drum solos, if you want to be like The Beatles you need solid songwriting, descent I'm putting emphasis on descent they don't have to be perfect, you need long hair, have your guitars up to your chest, and the drummer needs blisters on his fingers



Not too mention their music is outstanding.
personally i believe that rocket from the tombs was the most important band to never release anything before they broke up. they split into the dead boys, and pere ubu. both two very influential bands, and the RFTT recordings were the perfect mix of both. certainly worth a listen to anyone with an open ear.



they were also later covered by guns-n-roses.Who is the greatest rock and roll band ever ?
I agree with Pink Floyd, their influence really transcended past rock and roll and just goes to show how ahead of the curve they really were. They've influenced just about every post-60's band I love.



Other choices of mine are the german band Can (when they were in their prime) and Sonic Youth.
First off there is no such thing as greatest rock band in the world ever. It's all up to choice. And for me it is The Rolling Stones, and for someone else it could be the Archies.



take care

i do think this is hard,why there are so many great bands,we al have are best,but with me i have so many great bands i love,and could not put it down to one,that is only me my friends that's all.
There was only one band to have 4 members listed in Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 100 Guitar Players of all time, The Allman Brothers Band. They have been around for over 40 years and sounding better today than ever.
AC/DC

Aerosmith

Led Zeppelin

The Rolling Stones

Guns N Roses

The Who

Queen



In this order
I'd say its a three way tie between Queen, Led Zeppelin, and The Beatles. It's just to close to call they all were such brilliant artists
AC/DC is pretty much the personification of rock n' roll
%26lt;-----Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Doors. I can't decide.
Animal Collective or King Crimson
Black Sabbath hands down
I think one would argue between Zep and the Beatles. Though both bands had a major impact on music.
Id agree with queen. Brilliant
The Beatles
The Who %26lt;3
queen
Haley and the Comets
I'd say Led Zeppelin, although they're not my personal favourite. Good question!
for me it is The Rolling Stones,but everyone has their own opinion.
AC/DC or Guns N Roses
your mom, or justin beiber's hair
