Poll: What's your favourite rock group?

[Pyro]

Mine would have to be:
Blink182
Jimi Hendrix
Nirvana
Offspring
Rage Against the Machine
Red Hot chilli pepers
and many other misc...

 

[snow patrol]

Sonic Youth.

 

[SuperGroove]

Nirvana.

How can you even say Blink182 is as great as the bands and singers on your list? Blink182 are only in it for the money.

 

[vi edit]

I would say that calling sonic youth, blink 182, offspring, rage, and chilli peppers "rock groups" is a stretch.

 

[toph99]

rock:
Metallica
black sabbath
iron maiden

Guns N Roses
AC/DC

Skinny Puppy
Ministry
KMFDM/MDFMK
Joy Devision
Depeche Mode

Nine Inch Nails
Cure
Apoptygma Berzerk

so hard to choose just one

 

[snow patrol]

What would you call them? Sonic youth definitly are an alternative rock group, but they are rock. Definitely.

 

[Jumpem]

METALLICA

A real rock band! Other than Hendrix, I wouldn't consider your list rock.

 

[skywhr]

NIN
Marilyn Manson
Tool
Skinny Puppy
Nirvana
Beatles
Stsined

how many times do we have to answer this?

 

[Pyro]

Its rock-ish

There are many types of rock, but I am talkin about in general.

I should also add Led Zeppelin and Black Sabath to that list...

 

[vi edit]

snowy - it's just one of those subjective things I guess

I grew up with van halen, ac/dc, the doors, zepplin, tom petty ect - now THOSE were rock bands.

Thurston Moore(head kahuna of Sonic youth right/) is a very talented artist, but his music just isn't "rock" to me.

Hendrix was the only artist in pyro's post that I would associate with rock.

Like I said, it's a subjective classification. To me "alternative rock", is not rock.

 

[slunk]

Sonic Youth is a great "rock" group. They are definitely rock. They don't fit into cock rock like Metallica though. Other great rockers:

Tripping Daisy, Nirvana, Pixies, Hendrix, Zeppelin, RATM, Radiohead, Cure, & many many others.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Radiohead, baby!

 

[snow patrol]

[Valnir]

Nirvana
Pantera
Down
Metallica
Korn

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

Oasis
and most of the bands mentioned above.

 

[Bling Bling]

Metallica (edge of metal/rock...i prefer the old stuff over ANYTHING)
Deftones (hell yeah baby. they friggin rule)
Tool (not really rock...)
Black Sabbath (Where it all began...)
Ozzy (Amazing man, i tell ya)
Oasis (more like alternative rock, but sure)
Weezer (yep, weezer kicks ass)

Snow Patrol: No offense, but I think Sonic Youth sucks a hairy one. They opened for Pearl Jam back in August and they were horrible! The last song (if it deserves to be called that) ended with the band members hitting the same partially muted chord for like literally 10 minutes! It was the worst noise i've ever heard. Then every couple of minutes, one of the guitarists would raise his guitar in the air while hitting the chords. Then a few minutes later someone else would do it. That was possibly one of the worst performances i have ever seen in my life!

THEY SUCK!!!
