So in yall's opinion what ARE the best bands of the century? For what decades, what kind of musicianship? What qualifies them for you to be the best?

Now sayin "because they rock" is all well and good but if you got a different reason then share it.

For the 60's there was so much music that came out of that decade that I can't even decide. I mean, not even being from the decade but finding out about the music posthumously is interesting. Though I will probably say, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Hendrix, and a whole list of others that started the influences for a lot of bands today.

I will come back and figure out my favorites from the 60's up, but hey, please do share your thoughts even if it is from just the 90's.

I realy like Nirvana. They are a classic band and just about everyone knows who they are. they have the clasics that everyone knows, but they never ecognize its them. They have a very unique sound. I dont think they are the best, but they are pretty amazing.

I agree that Nirvana had a huge impact on the early 90's era of Rock music. The band hitting it big and bringing forth bands of the same genre killed Glam Metal at the time, and brought in a wholly different time. I also agree that it is not the best band of all time but definitely noteworthy.

well for the 60's i would have to say that the Beatles and anything by Lennon and McCartny is awsome. They were the creaters of true rock, and the band ushered in a whole new era. I also think that Bob Dylan is one of the greatest musicains to ever live becasue he has very meaningful song lyrics and is a very unique person.

I would have to say that hands down, Queen is the greatest band of the 70's. They had a very unique and amazing style that can NEVER be duplicated, and i think that Freddie Mercury was a genius.

As for the 80's, i'm not entirly sure. I think that Bon Jovi, AC/DC, and Jounray could easilly be some of the best.

As for the 90's i think that it's a dule between U2 and Nirvana. True, Nirvana created grunge, and like the beatles ussered in a new era of music but U2 created a hit with the powerful song 'One'. Radio Head, and R.E.M. could also be consiidered some of the best bands to ever exist.

And as for current days, I would consider Green Day, MCR, or Fall Out Boy to all be very interesting and influential artists.

I agree with Your_Harliquen_Romance in that the beatles and queen are extremely influential, but i'd have to disagree about the ones listed for current days, particularly fall out boy. oh, and green day started in the 80's, so i suppose it could be under that category too...
