R. Rich Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Album, the 2 CD Greatest Hits collection. 59542[/snapback] Sand In The Vaseline. I have that here at work, along with Stop Making Sense.
RuntheDamnBall Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 The words 'hardcore' and 'Hootie and the Blowfish' in the same sentence kind of froze up my brain. Then I laughed and laughed. I am listening to some Jeff Buckley right now (the Live at Sin-E deluxe edition)... What a talent. The mainstream didn't and never will know what it missed.
Stanley Lombardi Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Styx 58912[/snapback] I laughed right out loud the first time I heard the faggot with the quivering falsetto sing, "I'm sailing away." Then I laughed right out loud when I saw the fem boys running around the malls with Styx t-shirts. Now I'm laughing right out loud at you.

rockpile Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Here's a vote for "The Band." Whether it was backing up Dylan or making music on their own, they had a sound and a vibe unlike no other. Rent a copy of Scorcese's "The Last Waltz" and see for yourself. 59183[/snapback] My vote is for the Band. They put together a fusion of rock, beebop, blues, country, folk and even classical that inspired a new form of music. The Eagles were a product of that fusion. Eric Clapton went to jam with them to learn what they were doing. They are also on the cover of Time Magazine 1/12/1970. Take A Load Off Fanny.

John in VA Beach Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Embrace was better. Fugazi is better than both, but I don't consider them mainstream. 59031[/snapback] Ian aside, no way were embrace or Fugazi better the Minor Threat. Very glad MT got posted here. For me, Black Flag was a top fav too. I still listen to punk. These bands gave my aggression an outlet when I was younger. For the most part now I get out my aggression swearing at the TV Sunday afternoons...
Webster Guy Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Would have to throw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in the mix using this criteria.

_BiB_ Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 If you have Dylan fronting The Band,then I'd say they were the best. 59687[/snapback] The youngsters don't even know what we're talking about. I don't think.
Rico Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 The youngsters don't even know what we're talking about. I don't think. 59696[/snapback] Definitely not in great numbers, but there are quite a few who get it. It's pretty cool to look at the crowd when Dylan plays a college campus in a metropolitan area like American U.; people of all ages, but the big majority are students.

jayg Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Objectively it is Aerosmith by a mile. Nearly 31 years non stop, heavy radio, video, album sales, and concert ticket sales . Metallica wasn't really main stream until 1991 but since then they have been relentless( I much prefer them before 1991). I would put Van hagar higher but they haven't been relevant in years. The others get airplay and I'm sure to a lesser extent album sales but just werent together long enough.
KOKBILLS Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Good God...That's all I have to chose from? I'd say Nirvana based on that list, but I'll instead abstain... BYW, I would always vote for AIC as the Greatest American Rock Band ever...But that's just me... B)
Guest t cal Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 No knocks on any of the great underground bands. What band do you guys think is/was the greatest out of those choices? 58911[/snapback] The EAGLES!!!! oh God help us all. What vanilla dreck.
KD in CA Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 The EAGLES!!!! oh God help us all. What vanilla dreck. 59741[/snapback] Vanilla dreck? Go bang your head on something....the Eagles wrote the best songs of anyone in that era.
