#### Audioslave. Only served as a reminder that 2 of my favourite bands were broken up at the time.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but Audioslave seems objectively wrong, as both Rage and Soundgarden were just better bands. Has a supergroup ever been better than the bands it was formed from?
I will admit I like "Cochise" and still listen to it from time to time, but that does not make them the best rock band of all time.

Zeppelin is great, everyone stole stuff from other artists.
As blatantly and successfully as Led Zeppelin, though? Robert Plante even addressed in a pretty admitting manner.

Too large a portion of their biggest hits are direct lifts of other songs. Like they say in this video, their MO as a band was to start by "covering" a song they liked and then slowly forming it into a new "original" song that became "theirs".
edit: damn YouTube and their new coding for imbedding. Only CP requires some part of the damn link and not the whole thing, lol.
Imagine Dragons might be the worst band of all time. Or at least the most annoying. Nickelback used to hold that title, but the Dragons took the trophy and ran with it.
Naw. Nickelback has to hold that title due to the length of their "career". I would have lived it if Nickelback had been limited to 3 high selling albums and about 10 charting singles. I'd put imagine dragons in the realm of Evanescence, possibly Creed.

Thought about them. It's an interesting choice, as Pearl Jam hadn't released an album yet, su it's really a supergroup of Soundgarden and Mother Love Bone. I still think Soundgarden was better.
I should have put this in the entertainment thread.
Still love audioslave. You guys can all f yourself!! Haha.
I like Audioslave, but the answer for me is Rage Against the Machine. I’m still crushed that they canceled the tour after a couple Covid delays. I did see Morello this year and it was awesome, but obviously not the same.

Them Crooked Vultures was a fantastic supergroup (maybe my favourite supergroup), but not better than all the bands those guys came from.

Nickelback aren't even worse than their knockoff Canadian cousins Theory of a Deadman. Being a second rate Nickelback is almost an impressively bad accomplishment.

One of my favourite live shows. He did Audio, Soundgarden and Rage tunes. Chris skipping around the stage singing “#### you I won’t do what you tell me”. Amazing.
Music is so subjective. You’re always going to love stuff from your teenage years that’s probably crap. The Beatles were so far ahead. Zeppelin is great, everyone stole stuff from other artists. AC/DC is good old fashioned uncomplicated rock. Black Sabbath changed my life. Metallica is fantastic. Mark Knopfler is a god. Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden.
Audioslave is a great band, I don't think you'd have much argument against that. But it's just not the best rock band. I would hear arguments for Rage though. With more longevity they would be in the conversation.
We should really make a punk thread. Start with the godfather.
Listening to Gimme Danger right now. AHHHH
It takes five seconds to realize that it's time to move, it's time to get down with it, Brothers, it's time to testify and I want to know, are you ready to testify? Are you ready?
I give you a testimonial, the MC5!!!
