Default Best Rock Band

I’ve bight about this, zeppelin. Argue Beatles but best leave. Maiden good for sure.

It’s Audioslave and not debatable. Supergroup that was actually unreal. No grey haired boobs with bad haircuts.

This is unreal for old men

Hope it works

Audioslave isn't even in the top 3 Chris Cornell bands.

Beatles and Stones were pop bands for the most part. By universal acclaim over decades of time-tested longevity, it has to be between Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. I could vote for Queen, because almost all of what they’ve produced was amazing. But Pink Floyd’s four years of dominance were monumental in its significance to rock and Wish You Were Here is, arguably the best rock album ever made. And then Zep was so much above everyone else in their time… Yet, how could anyone argue with AC/DC overshadowing (and over-earning) them all? Impossible to answer question.

Led Zeppelin lifted way too much of their biggest stuff.

If I had to pick one without thinking too hard, I'd pick the Rolling Stones. Their longevity, contribution to rock music, number of hits, ability to draw audiences, ability to survive and adapt through musical shifts, and just flat out quality.

They aren't my favourite band or anything, but I do like them a lot.

#### Audioslave. Only served as a reminder that 2 of my favourite bands were broken up at the time.

I heard about this big survey one time. The said build the ultimate four piece classic rock band, and people vote for the best vocalist, best guitarist, best bassist and best drummer.

Survey ends, they tally the votes, and it comes out to Robert Plante, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Keith Moon.

John Bonham left out, but it's clear what the people thought.

Zeppelin would probably be my pick but Queen, AC/DC, and Black Sabbath are up there.

Most influential would likely be a pick um between Buddy Holly and the Crickets, the Beatles and the Velvet Underground.

Personal best probably the Rolling Stones or the Small Faces through the Faces

There is no best, only your favourite. It’s like arguing what is the best colour.

Personal Favorites:

XTC
Los Lobos
REM
Husker Du
Replacements
Talking Heads
Sonic Youth
Ween
Vampire Weekend
New Pornographers
Cornershop
Cafe Tacuba
Cure
New Order

Classic:

Stones
Queen
Rush

Prince
Zappa
Steely Dan
The Boss
Joni Mitchell
Kate Bush
Bob Marley
Pretenders
ABBA

I think Apple, Spotify etc can tell you what you play the most.
