My vote goes to NIN.
Life seemed to him merely like a gallery of how to be.

Out of these, NIN, by far.
Why is Coldplay getting so many votes. They are and OK band in my opinion.

    Include some good groups in the survey and maybe I'll respond-like Franz Ferdinand, the Shins, the Strokes, maybe the White Stripes.

Depends how you define "greatest" really...

I picked Beck, as the most original and inventive of the lot.

Coldplay undoubtedly sell more records than practically anyone else - I read somewhere they'd caught up with or overtaken the Beatles - so that must mean something. Their music is incredibly accessible, with very catchy melodies - and has a "nice" ambience that I find inoffensive enough. But I'd hate to rate them above Nine Inch Nails or System of a Down, who are both excellent.

The RHCPs are better than all of them, of course

I think Jon Schaffer would be extatic that you called his (and I emphasize - his) band mainstream and modern. I'm not so sure, though, he will be happy with the term rock being subscribed to his music.

Thanks for the support on that one.

To all the TMV fans remeber that Flea and John Fruscianty played large parts on both albums.

Even though Audioslave contains members from each of those bands they sound nothing like them.The band doesn't play with the intensity that they did in their RATM days and Cornell is wasting his voice with Audioslave because he sings nothing like he did with Soundgarden,where his vocal work was absolutely outstanding.


Audioslave is a sub par band.



Agreed. The first Audioslave album was such a huge disappointment compared to the expectations I had for the band. I love RATM and Soundgarden on their own, but there's not enough "oomph" in Audioslave imo, it gets dull.

From the list I'd say Queens of the Stone Age, my favourite band however is Monster Magnet, one of the coolest rock bands on the planet

On the poll - Coldplay - "A Rush of Blood.." awesome album! However, also like NIN and QOSTA. SOAD - not consistent enough for me but liked "Toxicity".

Bands not mentioned: Muse, RHCP, Faith No More, The Smashing Pumpkins - I am sure there are many more that could be added
