Agree with all those on your list,but would have to include The Who,Deep Purple,King Crimson,and Kansas.By the way,Ted Nugent was the loudest person I've ever heard play live.The loudest band I saw live,oddily,was a Dutch band,called Accept,at Nebworth,UK,in the mid-80's.I was close to the stage,and my ears just got ruined.King Crimson come a very close second,as far as "noise" is concerned. :D

I am a muse fan also, but greatly dissapointed with their new album!

Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, A perfect Cricle, ACDC, Eels. (eels are very good)

All good stuff :D

But don't get me wrong Accept was loud But only had one real hit here in the states it was Balls to the walls.

Cool to see Pink Floyd common... but I'll add:

Pink Floyd is not Pink Floyd without Roger Waters.

Krs.England need to "wake up".How Sven did not take Defoe,or Bent to Germany is beyond me.Defence wise,we are a mess.We should make the quarter-finals,then I don't know.

Rick.Agreed.Floyd without Roger is awful.He is Pink Floyd.It's hard to beleve that Dark Side of the Moon,spent twenty seven years in the top 100 album charts,apparently.

AHHHH Roger Waters in coming to Malta too on the 10 July

Roger Waters, co-founder and principal songwriter of rock band Pink Floyd, has always had a large following in Malta. His concert in Malta will feature The Dark Side Of The Moon in its entirety, among other great hits from The Wall, Wish You Were Here and more.

I am amazed that this illustrious forum has failed to mention Queen. I saw them in Phoenix a couple of months ago. Great musicians. Not quite the same without Freddy, who was replaced by Paul Rogers of Bad Company.

My absolute favorite is (old) Pink Floyd. I saw (new) PF at Sun Devil Stadium about 10 years ago, on a cold drizzely eve. Some smuggled JD and their sound that actually made the earth move, and about 4 hours of music with a 15 minute break, made it a memorable experience.

I advise all to pick up a DVD of Roger Waters doing The Wall in Berlin. The music (I think) is better than the original. When I expire and am turned into a crispy critter, I have instructed my son to play "Comfortably Numb" at the wake/party afterwards.

Shucks, Can't give rep to agree... Dr. D is dead on: Queen rocks!

Magprob, I've had the pleasure of seeing UB40 4 times, once from the front row in L.A. with tickets won on a radio station.

Their shows are fantastic.

... and most people have never heard of the tunes on their first album, which in my opinion was their best.

I love all the bands that have been listed so far... lol... I'm not even 30 yet and most of these bands date me to something older, I do have a couple that haven't been listed yet though... lol

Depeche Mode (old stuff)
311
Orgy
38 special
Alice Cooper
Judus Priest
Journey
Forenier

And I'm sure I can think of more... anything late 70s and the 80s into the early 90s then it all turns to crap. I like old ozzy but I think the man needs to retire... lol... not that that will ever happen.

Can't speak for The Strokes or UB40, but I think Oasis is definitely a rock band. Also, their last album was released in May of last year. In fact they've released 5 albums since February of 2000... hardly "late 80's and some of the early 90's."

UB40 is a class act.

Yes, they went Top40 with some of their stuff, but check out their first album sometime; very impressive stuff if you like big band reggae.

This weekend I'll put some mp3s from their first album for y'all to check out.

RickJ
Jun 23, 2006, 12:05 PM
Well hey, it's the weekend already! So here you go; tunes from UB40s first album. A couple of them are instrumentals.
http://www.jackson8.com/music/signingoff

These are not for sharing, they are for listening. I am allowing you my friends to listen to my collection. Does that cover my rump a bit? I'm sure not, so to be safe I'll take them down at some point, so listen now! ;)

Just a bit of Trivia about UB40.

The band is named from the paper form issued by the UK for claiming unemployment benefits (UB40 = Unemployment Benefits, Form 40); during the Thatcher years, still in use today, British slang referred to unemployed people as UB40s.

I will certainly date myself here but its hard not to put in a vote for an old pal... Bob Seger (who played at my high school dances before he was famous... Bob Seger and the Plain Brown Wrapper LOL). I think he qualifies as a classic rocker, no?

And Alice Cooper is actually an astute businessman and a fairly accomplished golfer, now doesn't that just blow your mind!

Just a bit of Trivia about UB40.

Yes, and in fact the first album cover was of that form... but if you purchase it today it has a different cover. I think the original is worth some bucks

Hard to have one favorite at any one time, I'd say the Beatles because of their impact.

ACDC!!

Aussie Rockers too! Ok ill admit there is a little influence from the UK now but they began down under.

I have seen them live a few times and they just put on the most awesome show! Greatest live rock band EVER!!
Other than that;

Led Zeplin
Guns n Roses
Metallica
The Beatles

INXS?? Not really my fav but another great Aussie band! I'm a very patriotic aussie you may have guessed!!

I think Rock is making a little resurgence at the moment. At least down under here it is! We have some great young rock bands hitting trhe world stage.

Wolfmother just toured the US and went off apparently. I urge you to listen to them and see if you like!

Tool
Deftones
A Perfect Circle
System Of A Down (Although disappointed with latest albums)
Pink Floyd

Rage Against The Machine
Audioslave
Any band with Corey Taylor, he's second only to Maynard James Keenan
Beck
Primus
Metallica
QOTSA
Coldplay
Old AFI
NIN
Staind
Tenacious D
The DARKNESS!
DevilDriver (they're not satanic, but you wouldn't know it if you didn't know about them)
Nirvana
Weezer




On a different note. I think G'n'R and The Beatles are the most over-rated bands in the history of mankind.
