    What is your favourite band of all time??

    For Me its AEROSMITH

    They have been around for so long making amazing songs.No band has done like they have. And no one has kept making really good music for so long. They have gotta be the best!!!

    so far it's the sound track from hell ...

    Well if it's all time then my favorite is

    Zork and Whetuzi

    Though they are not due to become famous until about 2745, but the things they can do to your sonic implants ...

    I laugh in your general direction. Listen to a real band like

    1) Roaring in at number one: Radiohead
    2) Coming a close second is: Mogwai
    3)Also on my recommeded list are the: Pixies.
    4) Scraping in at number four would have to be: Dave Matthews Band
    5) And fifth on the list is: Cake

    Pff Busted will beat any of that 'alternative rock 'n roll' any day with their inoffensive lyrics and youthful boyish charm!!

    **** = take ?

    given a choice of busted of aerosmith i'd probably go for the poller with a blunt instrument.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,450 ✭✭✭AngelofFire


    i dont exactly have one but here are a few great ones

    Incubus, Pinkfloyd, Led Zepplin, Bonjovi,Beatles, Rolling stones. Sex pistols.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 351 ✭✭Ragamuffin


    Frank Zappa is good:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    no such thing as a greatest band for me but here's a few of my fav's

    weezer
    biffy clyro
    jimmy eat world
    saves the day
    green day
    screeching weasel (80's punk band)
    cKy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭comet


    Hard decision between Busted and The Beatles but I think I'll go with The Beatles. Busted probably need more time for their legacy to take shape. Creature is probably one of these guys who sees greatness before the rest of the population can.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,468 ✭✭✭Frank Grimes


    The Velvet Underground would be my favourite, don't think you can really call any band "the greatest of all time".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    If we're talking true 'greatness' and not record sales then it has to be Old Scratch


    No doubt about it.

    If not Old Scratch then Busted. But Old Scratch, given the choice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,916 ✭✭✭Washout


    Radiohead for me followed closely by Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,312 ✭✭✭mr_angry


    Mansun for me. Followed closely by Tool, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Placebo.

    And, of course, Busted. Surely somebody out there has a link to some Busted merchandise for all their adoring fans here? :D

    "...And Yea verily, Okie made it so"

    Busted Merchandise

    Hmmm....

    or

    Busted.jpg


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭lordsippa


    Greatest Band of All Time!!???? But surely this is just gonna turn into a "my genre is better than yours... and my dad could beat yours up" kinda argument... ick.

    My vote is divided between Gong, The Magic Band <avec the good Captain>, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Led Zepplin, Guns N' Roses, etc etc etc...

    But I'm really holding my breath for Velvet Revolver... 2 more months... promises to be the GREATEST THING EVER! Now to just hope that Scott Weiland hasn't ****ed everything up before it gets the chance to start...


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,370 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kingp35


    This is good Busted or Aerosmith????

    Well I started this and picked Aerosmith think ill stick with em.

    What do you ppl think??

    Post up your fav band too even if it is teeny boppin rubbish.

    Haha. VB-Scripting error. Busted's site is... er... busted!

    Sorry everyone. Another crime against humour. Every day it dies a little more inside...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,190 ✭✭✭UnrealQueen


    For me it's Rammstein:D

    Whoops. Sorry about that. Although if anyone does want to buy any Busted merchandise, then by all means, follow the links at www.busted.com


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 551 ✭✭✭funktastic


    Yeah velvet revolver greatest thing ever. hmm lets re-write some blues riffs and throw some cliches onto them until one of us gets arrested/dies/has a major argument with the rest of the band. It'll probably just sound like 'aint life grand' album by Slash
    waste of a great guitarist writing ****e like that, recycling his own sound.

    I used to think that it'd have to be either Queen or Matchbox 20 ... but all this talk of Busted has changed my mind!

    For the better I think :rolleyes: :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭comet


    What about a Busted forum on boards?? There seems to be alot of fans here.

    Also maybe Kingp35 the originator of the thread could add a poll.
    Greastest Band of All Time? with the options "Busted" and "Other"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 Mr. Wanker


    For me it's Megadeth.

    Slayer come a close second.

    Its beginning to worry me how much you keep pushing this Okie. Either you're the Busted.com webmaster, or... you're stalking them!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 467 ✭✭Cheez


    Tool,Led Zep

    It's neither I swear, I don't like them at all, I don't have any of their albums, I don't have their posters on my walls...and ceiling...and headboard...

    Dammit!! :)

    Back on topic..."Greatest Band Of All Time" can't really be defined can it? Surely, it's a matter of opinion and all that! And does it mean "Best" or "Most Popular" or "Most Profitable"

    My own favourites would be Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Skunk Anansie, Blink, etc, etc but that's only my 2c! Too many to mention in one go, to be honest!!

    if there's a band out there with greater lyrical talent i'd like to hear them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    That's just a lame re-write of Van Halen's Hot For Teacher.

    Shame on Busted. I will be returning my CD's with a very strongly worded letter.

    I Think I should have this a "Are Busted The Greatest band In the World Forum". Vote in my Poll please!! Then we all find out how many busted lovers there are out there.

    Hopefully none :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 351 ✭✭Ragamuffin


    I like 'The White Stripes', A bit of Frank Zappa and a bit of Cat Stevens. (the last 2 artists were inspired to me by my brothers)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭lordsippa


    You want better lyrics than Busteds ol' dirty diddies? Motley Crue :p "She goes down! She goes down! She goes down down down down..." (need I go on)

    And in fairness "Ain't Life Grand" had some pretty slick tracks. It also had one or two rubbish generic "let's chuck 'em on the cd to fill space" tracks, I admit, but I wouldn't consider it that bad. Ach but it's just a matter o' taste I suppose...


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,370 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kingp35


    Gotta throw Pearl jam in there. Bein gettin in to them alot and they are amazing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Definetly Busted.

    If not, William Shatner.
    He's just the greatest singer out there.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    Eddie Vedder's not fit to hold the match which lights the farts coming out of Busted's asses


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,370 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kingp35


    Eddie vedder is a total legend!! as for busted they are gone and will never be heard from again. a sign of real quality :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 361 ✭✭limpdd

    Metallica, Led Zeppelin, G 'n R

    Nuff Said


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,797 ✭✭✭Paddy20
