Me? I heard someone say on the Burly Bear Network back in college that it was the Clash.
It took me a few years. But I now agree.

Depending on my mood when you ask I would say it is very close between Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, or Led Zeppelin.
Tough to decide the ultimate best of these three.

BLACK SABBATH
If you are only 18-2x and never gave it a try because its old, you owe it to yourself to get some and give it a listen. The B side material wails over most of what I hear on the radio.

The Grammy award winning progressive metal rock band, TOOL, will drop their next album, "10,000 Days", in early May.
Many fans have inquired regarding the album art TOOL has released on Amazon for pre-sale of the album.
The cover is an adaptation of Alex Grey's painting, Net of Being.

behind the clash i'd put
the ramones (clash had more diversity), radiohead, zepplin, floyd, GNR, beatles
If we include single artists.. i dunno.. i'd say jimi and the clash are tied.

All totally wrong. The Who were (are) the greatest live rock band ever, they were like a well oiled telepathic machine. Check out Live at Leeds for an object lesson in how to use volume, improvise, play off each other, come back from the brink just on the verge of the tune collapsing in on itself, perfectly in tune with each other, playing to make one another sound good (a true art in itself)...
No one else even comes close to their sheer power and energy on stage.

I think the Doors is the greatest band of all time. They're not my favorite, but I think they work together better than any other group. They don't seem to have any ego problems, any member could contribute to a song.

In my humble opinion, The Smashing Pumpkins are the greatest rock band ever. Seriously! I mean, check out this song, is that not rock! Tool would be the best, but they are beyond rock. Oh and Zeppelin is a strong number three.

I'm on a huge Pink Floyd kick right now because I've overlooked some of their earlier stuff but a couple months ago I would have said Tool. Black Sabbath is really good music too but it never really inspired me in any way.

I honestly don't think I could pick a "best band ever"...it's just impossible, so many bands have contributed in so many different but otherwise important ways. I mean, it's great if you have a favorite band, but I couldn't have The Who without Floyd or Nirvana without Pearl Jam. I need it all. Maybe I'm just indecisive, but I can't pick one band as "the greatest", too many different measures that don't add up.
Speaking of which, ever see high fidelity? "Top five songs on a monday morning"...great movie. -Dan

I just mean that words are just words, and rock and roll is an experience.
and we all define words differently. this discussion i found funny and disturbing in an alienating sort of way. I'm just always stunned at how different my perceptions are.
The beatles are not, were not, and never will be rock and roll. Robert Plant just isn't rock and roll. To me. Everything is relative.

Greatest ROCK band? Depends how you define rock. While I love Pink Floyd, they're not what I define as Rock.
When it comes to actual Rock bands, there are only three real contenders --
-- The Rolling Stones
-- The Who
-- Led Zeppelin
Tough choice for sure, but I'm gonna have to say The Who. Led Zeppelin gets eliminated because while their first three albums or so were definitely Rock (albeit with a LOT of bluesy numbers thrown in -- especially Led Zep I) their later albums were too experimental to be classified as pure rock. So when judging their entire body of work that must be taken into consideration.
That leaves the Stones and The Who. In my opinion, The Who wins that matchup.
Don't get me wrong -- I prefer Led Zep to either The Who or the Stones. I listen to Led Zep far more than the other two combined. But if the question regards ROCK bands, the answer is The Who.

Now you're basically just trying to define art which is impossible. It's so many things.
There aren't any boundries. An artist is an artist before he is anything else; a painter, a photographer, etc. Everyone has a little bit of something in them. If they've done anything rock or contributed to it, I'd say bring it all. I consider blues, floyd and the dead and phish type jam shit, oldies (beatles and zepplin included), and all crap to be rock music.
What do you find so funny about it? The fact that we're trying to define the best rock band (which wasn't the point... I'm not starting an argument over who's definitievely the best, I just want to know who people THINK is the best, in their own eyes)... or are you just some pretentious schmuck who thinks only his awesome new exclusive style if indie is the only true rock out there?

These aren't necessarily the greatest rock bands ever, but they're my favorites of all the rock bands I've heard:
Incubus Bikini Kill Sublime Modest Mouse Queen Led Zeppelin Nirvana Steve Miller Band Eagles Pink Floyd Sleater-Kinney The Doors Radiohead Tool System of a Down Pixies Rage Against the Machine
I can't pick just one, I'm sorry.

It's a tie between Radiohead, The mars Volta, and Tool.
If you haven't heard the mars volta yet check them out. I have both albums on my comp if anyone wants to hear them. Straight progression, zepplin like vocals, insane solos, fast insane song writing that builds into slow beautiful climaxes that make you love everything about music.

They're getting there.
The new album might cement them. I am expecting great things. A return to Rock.

I really like Hail to the Thief. It was the only album my brother had when I started expanding my musical horizons, so it's the album of theirs that I first started listening to. I find that happens with most bands, the first album I hear is usually my favorite, or up there even if it's clearly not one of their best works.

That happens with me quite often as well. For example my favorite Pavement record is Brighten the Corners and my favorite Built to Spill record is without a doubt Keep it Like a Secret. When it comes to Radiohead, though, The Bends takes the cake.

I can't pick a favorite Radiohead album. Some how I don't have The Bends on my computer. I even have Pablo Honey on here and I don't even like that one.

OY! What a monstrous fucking oversight dude! My most epic moments at Radiohead shows is when they dip into The Bends. When I saw them do Fake Plastic Trees about a year and a half ago when the Black Keys opened for them at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, I had one of those full-body chills existential experiences only the rarest live music experience can convey.
And don't even get me started on when I saw them do Planet Telex at Coachella. Yikes.

I have yet to see Radiohead live  I guess I'm a little young to have seen them and actually appreciate the live show (seeing Tool at 13 wasn't nearly as awesome as seeing them at 19, I imagine the same would be true of Radiohead.) Hopefully the tour the will do for this new album will bring them near me somewhere.

They love touring, they really do, they love playing live. After such a long layoff I would expect a huge world tour with two swings through America. One would probably be a stadium tour in the colder time of the year followed by a outdoor tour in the summer. It'll be fucking sweet. Hopefully I can follow them around a bit.

Nah, you just gotta have friends with couches, catch a ride, maybe a hook up or two for a free ticket (which I could probably swing in nearby cities like Philly or Boston where my gf's brother has connections in the music industry).

Velvet Underground or The Pixies.
If we are talking about newer bands that I can't really call "the greatest" yet then Radiohead or The Strokes.

Just curious, why do you always upload files like that. Wait, let me guess first. So people don't have the option to stream it and therefore hear it at a lesser quality?

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein "Fear is the great barrier to human growth." ~ Dr. Robert Monroe ~~~*Dosis sola facit venenum*~~~ *Check my profile to listen to my music*

When they were together they weren't popular and only people who saw them/gotten their hands on the obscure bootlegs (like me) know how magnifiscent they are. But, a lot of people don't like their style, which is completely dead: early 60s rock'n'roll — with a lot of experimentation.

The Who - "A Quick One While He's Away", live at Leeds University, 1970.
Fun Fact: When they recorded the studio version of this song, they couldn't afford cellos so they sung the word "cello" instead.

It's hard for me to say who is the best rock band ever. So many of them have awesome performances and songs and then crappy shtuff too.
Led Zeppelin Black Sabbath (not the repeat radio garbage) Pearl Jam Tool Old school metallica (nothing after the black album) Dream Theater Rush and a lot of others that I can't think of right now. They are all so good in their own way.

The level of creativity and originality in these bands is simply off the charts. Music will never be the same. http://www.thewebshite.net/nickelback.htm

Holy crap. That was original there. I don't like bands where the entire album has the same "sound" per say. I also can't believe that a few listed Blink 182. That was by far one of the worst concerts I have ever been too. I liked them back in middle school but then after later albums came out, the 3-chord shit got to me and I moved on.
