but if we're simply talking the best we've heard, I'd have to say Radiohead.

Given that Noel Gallagher has readily acknowledged his transparent debt to the inspiration provided by the Beatles (and he even admits to lifting musical ideas wholesale) it seems fatuously ironic that you are dismissive of the fab four's import in the music of Oasis. Mr Gallagher's avowed favorite tune of all time is Tomorrow Never Knows which he disguises expertly by telling us explicitly is the case in the lyrics to Morning Glory which we have to assume you have heard and were not subject to any sectioning Mental Health Act. I adore Oasis also, but do your homework and don't diss the soil that begets the fruit ya dig? -------------

I don't think he was saying Oasis weren't influenced by The Beatles, he's just saying they are better. Sigh... |

Yes clearly the question mark and inability to articulate his ideas wedded to f*ck them was deferential to the inspiration that initiated the leap beyond the Beatles (intake of breath?) Sigh no more long suffering inhaler  -------------

Probably Queen as they could play heavy rock as well as anyone, make catchy pop stuff for radio , kick serious arse live and do great videos to boot. btw Oasis were minnows compared to oft overlooked Mansun if we are going for a 90's Brit revival theme imo. Mansun are also the only band from that era that includes of Blur, Pulp and Oasis etc that have made it onto this site. They had serious ambition. EDIT Forgot about Radiohead

Black Sabbath for me.Song for song hard to beat....If your into that sort of music that is-as i am,always have been,always will be.I love Hawkinwind also,but sometimes on certain songs i'm like....hmmm what were they thinking? ------------- "Nobody's Gonna Change My World That's Something To Unreal" Lyrics that i live my life by-from Black Sabbath's Technical Ecstasy's track You Won't Change Me |

| King Crimson for the purpose of this thread. My actual answer would be Ilayaraja. FWIW, Fripp and Raja have some temperamental similarities, introverted and yet outspoken and appearing to be very much tuned into a certain spiritual way of life that normal people might consider eccentric. Most importantly, an open minded embrace of diverse musical possibilities. |

 These guys are just the best ever... why? Because they havent done any bad album at all, and they are just epic live (seen them live 3 times and it was awesome every time) listen to the album called Hemispheres, and you will understand why they are the best band ever!
------------- My favorite bands: Rush Magenta Marillion (Fish era) King Crimson Porcupine Tree Queen (70s era) Ozzy Osbourne (dosent like Black Sabbath thou) UFO Opeth (the albums whitout Growling) |

If we actually mean best then the answer is Bach without hesitation. If we're going favorites, I have a different answer. JK Broadrick would be my answer. From his brutal pre-Godflesh work in Napalm Death and Fall of Because. After leaving the defining-forming band, he would go on to create another. During his Godflesh years, Boradrick was innovative: mixing hip-hop beats with metal guitars and bass or even starting a metal band without a real drummer. He would also work on Techno Animal: a collaboration with Kevin Martin which mixed industrial and ambient music, though it would later become an industrial hip-hop group similar to Ice, which he also was a part of. The man was even on Scorn's first album. Eventually he could no longer take the heaviness and went on to Jesu, building up from the destruction of Godflesh. He's created and played so many genres that legendary only begins to describe him. Oh right, this also all went down in under 30 years. ------------- https://aprilmaymarch.bandcamp.com/track/the-badger" rel="nofollow">

So far I can't choose my favourite band ever, not yet; and the word "best", so massively used nowadays, doesn't exist in my vocabulary when regarding any sort of artistic work.
