50s: Johnny B Goode (45") 60s: Jimi Hendrix: Electric Ladyland 70s: Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin IV 80s: U2: The Joshua Tree 90s: U2: Achtung Baby 00s: The White Stripes: White Blood Cells 10s: The Foo Fighters: Wasting Light

A tie for me: Led Zep: How the West Was Won; Hands down, best ever. Finally we got Zep in their prime on CD, something Song Remains the Same failed to do. Under a Blood Red Sky - This album got me into U2. With the exception of New Year's Day, the live versions were far superior to the...

I've been listening to Queen On Fire: Live at the Bowl and I am in awe of Brian May's guitar playing. He is an absolute master of the instrument. It may be different in the UK and the rest of Europe since Queen was (is) more popular there, but he rarely gets talked about here in North America...

How you can talk about this decade...and completely shut out the Foo Fighters...makes this list ludicrous and irrelevant IMO. One by One , In Your Honor, and Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace all deserve to be there, and In Your Honor should be top 5. Then again, should I be surprised? To...

1. Freddie Mercury 2. Robert Plant 3. Bono 4. Joni Mitchell 5. Sheryl Crow:heart:

If not for Kurt's death... ...I'm not convinced Nirvana would have been the legendary band it is consered to be today. After the all the hype of "Nevermind", Nirvana had already begun to experience a slide in sales and attention in the press before Kurt died. Groups like Pearl Jam and Alice in...

1. Led Zeppelin III:drool: 2. Achtung Baby 3. Led Zeppelin IV 4. The Joshua Tree 5. Oasis - What's the Story Morning Glory 6. Foo Fighters - In Your Honor 7. The Rolling Stones- Sticky Fingers 8. AC/DC - Back in Black 9. Alice in Chains - Dirt 10. Rush - 2112

... Some thoughts on this thread... 1. U2 is a rock band, plain and simple. Maybe you're looking for U2 to be a "hard (heavy) rock" band which they're not and never will be, and I'll listen to AC/DC when I'm in the mood for "cock" rock. Pink Floyd was not in any way a "hard rock " band, but...

Hey, no worries...nothing wrong with demonstrating a little passion every once in a while IMO :up: (and my post probably didn't warrant a thread....judgement error) Cheers, LN

???...never said anything about Rush being "better-than-anyone". Rush doesn't come close to U2 in my book. Nevertheless, close or move the thread, but who made you the judge and jury of what a "stupid" thread is?. Sure, it was meant to be a light-hearted thread, but nothing more. Some people...

Bono and Geddy Lee (of Rush): Lookalikes In an interview with Rush singer Geddy Lee, when asked which celebrities he was often mistaken for, he mentioned it was often Bono. At first I thought this was insane. First of all Geddy Lee is quite a bit older than Bono. Moreover, unlike Bono at one...

All bands have had their "uneven" moments. Zep was legendary for their live concerts, and it was one of the reasons they were the only band to have more than five number one albums without any top 10 hits (Stairway was never even released). They were the most bootlegged band of their time...

Oasis' new album...as good or better than Don't Believe the Truth. Before that...Black Sabbath's greatest 1970-1978. Classic. "Sweet Leaf" is tops, though I was ticked that "Iron Man" was an edit:angry:, especially stupid given that they have 3 or 4 mediocre post Sabbath 4 stuff on the album...

U2 and Zeppelin without a doubt in the "ever" category. AC/DC, the Stones and Rush are up there. (Yes, Rush...when I arrived at their 30th anniversary concert I was a lukewarm fan... but I left a huge fan) When the boys are in a relatively good mood, Oasis is an amazing live act and one of...

AC/DC cheesy? :huh: I know you were trying to defend them, but they're the last band that I would label cheesy. Many of their 70s contemporaries could be labelled as cheese (Kiss comes to mind). All their 80s hairband metal contemporaries like Poison also come to mind. 90s/00s grunge wannabees...
