Greatest bands of all-time
Greatest, not best, so don't say "x is better than y". Which band's music you like more shouldn't affect your choices.
Here's what I'm thinking about putting on the poll:
Beatles
Queen
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Hendrix
Rolling Stones
The Who
AC/DC
Van Halen
U2 (please don't let them win)
Metallica
Other
Should I replace any on the list?

Take out U2 and put someone like bob dylan or the band or just take them off. Also not sure if Metallica should be up there either. Great band but don't know if they deserve to be towards the top.

Personally, leave U2, the Beatles, and Metallica off. Relplace with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little Richard, and Elvis.

Little Richard? Really? As much as I hate U2 and dislike the Beats, Little Richard is like a fucking minor leaguer and Lyndyd Skynyrd isn't close. Elvis? Maybe to replace Metallica

Maybe. But personally I think the bands on the list edge them out. Depends on how much more support you get.

Re: Greatest bands of all-time
Little Richard helped make Rock rock. Like it or not, he's about as major as one can be. Skynyrd is in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. So they must be doing something right. And Elvis was known as the King for a reason. So AOG has failed in his attempt to put down some of the people that have made Rock what it is. Also, Aerosmith is another good one that should be up there as well, otherwise you know zip about rock.Little Richard? Really?

Re: Greatest bands of all-time
1. A lot of bands are in the HoF.
2. I said maybe Elvis. I just want to see how much support there is before I replace what's on the list.
2. A lot of people helped make Rock n' Roll. We're talking about the greatest bands, not who helped invent rock.

Since "greatest" is a superlative, that means that there can only be one....

Re: Greatest bands of all-time
I think "Folka Polka" deserves a spot. They created such polka hits as, "Stop Polking Me", "Slowpolk", and "Al Capolka".

Re: Greatest bands of all-time
Please no Elvis on the list. The other bands at least have a case for them. Stealing music makes you a crook not a good musician. Although if this was my list I'd remove all of the bands, it's really all subjective. The way I see it there are real artists and pop artists, and any real artist can be seen as good as another and the pop artists shall BURRRRRRRRRRN.

Weird Al is the omnipotent King of Polka, so don't even try.

How can you have this list and not include The Beach Boys?

Re: Greatest bands of all-time
Bands consist of more than one person, right? So we couldn't have Elvis on this list (or Little Richard or Bob Dylan). We couldn't have Eric Clapton, but we could have Cream.
So, should we leave the individuals off (do a separate poll). Maybe we can do separate polls for:
- Singer
- Songwriter/Lyricist
- Guitarist
- Bassist
- Drummer
- Solo Act

I'm starting to think that your sole purpose in life is to say things that I disagree with/that are wrong.

I was wondering this as well.
On a separate note how can you leave Aerosmith of that list?

Yes, I know Little Richard. Yes, I know he contributed to the creation of Rock N' Roll. No, I don't think he's "great" enough to be on this list. Inventor != great.

No, I agree with Aradhus. Both of these bands are really good and I like them both, but they're not with the bands listed (maybe Metallica or Van Halen)

Re: Greatest bands of all-time
You could do this generationally, although there were more great bands in the 60s and 70s then in the aughts.
