the best rock band (active) in the world

[Becks...poamr]

MetallicA :banger:

And btw, they're in the studio working on their latest album. I can't wait.

 

[Nomad 800]

I voted Pearl Jam. But they sure ain't what they used to be, musically.

 

[Patrick_S]

The Rolling Stones, easily. But the two best bands in the world right now are The Hellacopters and The Detroit Cobras

 

[Joaqo]

to me its TOOL so im out of the poll

 

[DreamSparrow]

I missed the 'active' part when I voted Guns n' Roses.

The best active rock band in the world are The Mars Volta -- Premium Link Upgrade

Horrible list but U2 is by far the biggest band in the world now and over the last 10-15 years.

I think Radiohead deserves honorable mention.

Pearl Jam is vastly overrated.

 

[L3ggy]

Out of that criteria and the choices of bands, i've got to say The Stones.

 

[CptHa]

Is this list from the early nineties?

 

[gunslingingbird]

GnR and REM are on the list, but Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Who aren't?!? What sort of a travesty of a list is that? :eek:

 

[L3ggy]

Skynyrd ain't active, i think, and why ain't Deep Purple on ze list?

They are so under-rated.

 

[Eric Lindros]

Metallica.

For the whole carreer, I think I have to say The Stones.

please post your own list (WARNING: it has to be only active bands, and only those that fill all the criteria mentioned)

Radiohead is a great band, no doubt, but i don't really think that is one of the biggest bands in the world.

Pearl Jam overrated? please explain

This is also the most pro-American list I have ever seen. Pearl Jam, Guns N Roses, Metallica and Aerosmith are next to nothing in most countries of the world.

please post some non-american bands that fill the criteria.

Is this list from the early nineties?

nope. active bands.

 

[KRH]

How can you respect any of these bands when they sell out...

 

[Jagger69]

You have to give an option of "other"
Otherwise it's just your opinions and no option to differ
My choices are Coldplay, Muse and Radiohead. A LOT of people would agree with me. Yet none of them are in your choices.

I agree....I'd put Rush on the list as a result of an "other" choice. The easy answer is the Rolling Stones, hands-down however.

 

[hhwan]

No Radiohead, Rage Against The Machine or Nine Inch Nails?

 

[Peter Gazinya]

Where the fuck is Right Said Fred@!!???

 

[BigSwede]

Guns´n´Roses are still not active.
Neither U2 or R.E.M. is rocking.
I have never heard Radiohead.

 

[L3ggy]

please post some non-american bands that fill the criteria.

Deep Purple for one.

 

[Facetious]

I have never heard Radiohead.

That's two of us.

 

[L3ggy]

It's a radio that got a head?
