I personally like "pin".

try out the cranberries, cat power, fleetwood mac, or hammers of misfortune. Great female singers.

PS i said some of the greatest not THE greatest.

and the doors are definitely one of the best EVER.

fleetwood mac = yuuuummmmy.

Steve Vai is such an incredible guitar player....omg. I just watched the end scene of an old 80s movie "crossroads" where Vai rips 64th notes on a guitar....

check this incredibility out:

PS pin- yeah yeah yeah`s is on as of.....now

ah! it kinda sounded like a violin. so amazingly crazy! stevie nicks does have an amazing voice, too.

i`m downloading pin from yeah yeah yeahs. hehe.

Let`s stop this being a argument, and have a civil conversation. I ahve heard loads of both Queen and the Beatles, I don`t like the Beatles, I love Queen. Which have you heard more of? I think I can conque that 5 hit gesture, let me name a few.(and the albums they came from so I can show they are spread out, and not on one album)

A NIGHT AT THE OPERA-Bohemian Rhapsody, You`re My Best Friend
THE GAME-Another One Bites The Dust, Save Me, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Play The Game
SHEER HEART ATTACK-Killer Queen, Now I`m Here
JAZZ-Fat Bottomed Girls, Bicycle Race, Don`t Stop Me Now
A DAY AT THE RACES-Somebody To Love, Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy
QUEEN II-Seven Seas Of Rhye
NEWS OF THE WORLD-We Are The Champions, We Will Rock You
A KIND OF MAGIC-A Kind Of Magic, Who Wants To Live Forever, Friends Will Be Friends, One Vission
HOT SPACE-Under Pressure
THE WORKS-Radio Ga Ga, I Want To Break Free, It`s A Had Life, Hammer To Fall
THE MIRACLE-The Miracle, I Want It All, Breakthru, The Invisible Man
INNUENDO-Innuendo, Headlong, I`m Going Slightly Mad, The Show Must Go On

Please correct me if I am wrong on albums some of these are on, I was not around when they were coming out, I am 14. So there it is. And to you are are talking about the yeah yeah yeahs they horribly suck, one of the few modern groups I won`t listen to.

Well.....my favourite is Linkin Park. No, two years would NOT be able to play the guitar and drum parts....

But the greatest? I don`t know enough to know. But hey i`d say the beatles even though I`m not meant to.

I meant two year olds*** wouldn`t.

i think that we have to look outside the box. the first most important thing to look at is the music, but there is so many great bands...to find the greatest we have to look at what they accomplished not just musicaly but influentially. i just think that you guys who are naming bands like the darkness, linkin park, sum 41 etc. are looking at this wrong. i mean i have nothing against those bands but to eearn a tittle of the greatest bands ever you must do more than just music. for example the rolling stones had got under peoples skin and pi$sed off alot of parents but doing so they sold millions of albums. and as far as the beatles go rock music wouldn`t be here. if your naming bands that aren`t heard of they can`t be the greatest because even if they do rock they haven`t made a mark on the world(like say nirvana) so try finding bands that not only make great music but have started a movement or changed the world somehow!!!!!

please don`t just read this and get pi$sed off because our opinions contradict.try to see things from my side!

love peace happiness
"keep on rockn` in the free world"

i included the darkness as a joke. personally, i think the doors, pink floyd, nirvana or maybe even tom petty would be the greatest. and, man, it doesn`t matter if it`s changed the world, as long as it has made a way into your everyday life. that`s all that matters.

i do get where you`re coming from; bands like nirvana has changed the world and has influenced A LOT of bands. but, you can`t love a band because of what it`s done to the rest of world.. but what it has done to you.

(wow, that kinda sounded all.. mushy.)

add joy division to my list.
sooo as i said before

GREATEST:
U2
Rush (i remove this as of....now)
Joy Division

Potential modern:
Franz Ferdinand
The Moving Units
Radiohead
The Faint
Interpol
Death Cab for Cutie

i said modern bands that have potential to be come great, becuase those bands are relatively new and unheard of. However, they have new revolutionary sounds that could potentially influence a new brand of rock: new rock revolution or post punk.

My favorite band is collective soul, but you dont see me putting them as the greatest band of all time do you? didnt think so, cuz they havent influenced rock music.

response to that who says queen is better then the beatles. if you want a civil convrsation dont end it with, PS THE BAND YOU MENTIONIONED SUCKS. hypocrit.

oh yeah, Franz Ferdinand is HUGE in england, just like the beatles were HUGE. Im not saying they are the next beatles, but you cant say no one has never heard of them when an entire fuccking country listens to them.

just like my favorite and the greatest band ever: The Tea Party. The Tea Party is huge in Canada and big in the Northeast US. New cd The Seven Circles out in May

don`t you hate it when you can`t say cusswords? god. that really sucks.
add led zeppelin, a perfect circle, and blue oyster cult to the list of wonderfulestestests.

Linkin park are NU METAL you f**king ignorant g*t BLS and Pantera are rock, you fool!

Greatest rock group?!
Hmmm....Metallica, or Black Label, or Sabbath

pantera doesn`t deserve to be on the same page as the other great, classic rock groups that far surpass the greatness of pantera. pantera sucks complete ass. i know this is everyone`s opinions, but really, check out other music. please. for me? thanks.
