 Topic: What band do you rate the best band of all time?
Posted: June 13 2007 at 09:30 |
Ever since I got into Tull 3 years ago I've been blown away. Luckily I got into them when the remasters were already available. I think I got the cd's in this order
thick as a brick-this is prog perfection
living in the past-kick ass heavy rock and folk with a mild prog feel. Brilliant cd
bursting out-amazing live album
heavy horses remastered-very very good folky prog, 2 nice bonus tracks too. Classic
benefit remastered-3 awesome bonus tracks and the album has several strong tunes too. Mildy heavy rock and folk style with a mild prog feel. Very good cd
songs from the wood remastered-very good folky prog with cool bonus track, almost as good as heavy horses. ALmost classic
stormwatch remastered- 4 awesome bonus tracks and the album has some pretty damn cool songs. Similar to Benefit, heavy, folky, mildly prog. Awesome cd
stand up remastered-3 awesome bonus tracks and some other cool songs on album. Phychedlic, hippish, bluesy, folky, but still that prog feel. Very good and it was only 1969
warchild remastered-7 awesome bonus tracks and some other cool songs on album. Some really proggy moments, some happy circus moments, some cool folk. Strong cd
a passion play-this is prog craziness. Some awesome moments and some silly moments, but I listened to this album for the first time on my headphones recently and it sounded awesome. Almost another prog masterpiece
A remastered-new looking band but some excellent tunes. More electric, but still that typical busy prog style with kick ass songs. What an awesome dvd too. Love this cd/dvd
dotcom remastered-some surprisingly awesome prog songs, these guys still hammer. Cool bonus track too. So much better than Yes, Rush and Crimson 90s style
roots to branches-really solid album with middle eastern feel, not far behind dotcom
aqualung remastered-some classic heavy/folky songs and some strong bonus tracks. Some great mild prog with a couple of not so great rock tunes in there, but strong cd
broadsword remastered-some kick ass tunes and some not very great tunes, but plenty of songs and enough to rate pretty cool. Some proggy moments too
Well that is what I have so far. Every one of those cd's is strong. There is about an hour of music on each of those cd's. So many excellent songs and many of them bonus songs. Each cd has 2, 3 or 4 songs that don't blow me away, but there are at least 5 songs on each cd that does blow me away. I'm so sure this band is the strongest rock band of our time. What about everyone else? Who do you rate the best band of all time?

Saying VdGG or At the Drive-In feels right. But actually I don't believe it's possible to answer the question.

The disciples still have not surpassed the master: we all have to say hail to
KING CRIMSON, the best band in history.
Jethro Tull is close, but not there.

Univers Zero - maybe the most "eternal" band ever.

favorites aside, all things considered; chemistry, inspiration, skill, vocal elements, longevity, live performances... I think it must be Yes.

There is no such thing as a best band of all time, to each his own !!!
My all-time favorite band has to be Rush.
Been a rabid fan for nearly 20 years and counting !

My taste of Prog changes with the sunrise. Although Rush is my favorite, I never would rate them or any other band as the best because I know tomorrow I will feel differently. I think calling a band the best is simply subjective. There is no best.

It's not very interesting when people just name bands, how about some comments, discussion etc., per the original post.

this is a really tough question and by the way i am brand new. this is my first post. i found this forum through decoymusic.com from a post about the tool song sync with wings pt. 1+viginti tres and wings pt. 2.
anyway, off the top of my head, i would have to say radiohead.
