The Greatest Rock Band Or Artist Of All.

200motels

Who do you think is the greatest rock band or artist of all is? Now I know it's a hard question and it's probably been done before on the boards. Alot of people will say Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath to name a few but for me it Has to be Frank Zappa he was so far ahead, he could play any type of music, now that's only an opinion as I'm sure many of you have different views on who was the best. Maybe it's a stupid question to ask.

For rock gotta be The Rolling Stones.

Twilightning

Rush of course!

nyarlothothep

Rock band: Queen

Artist: A tie between Hendrix or me.

old hippy

Hendrix or Zappa, I guess.

Or Jane's Addiction...

old gregg

in terms of contribution to the evolution of rock music I reckon the Stones for band and Bowie for single artist. Those 2 in particular inspired others to start bands or start singing and/or become rock stars.

buck65

Johnny Cash.

EggsAckley

Band=Rush
Artist=Neil Young

Two Canadians, eh?

Alice in chains.

Dublin Spur

The Stones
AC/DC
Elvis

Mindme

The Beatles.

Elvis Presley.

The amount of closet Elvis fans in Ireland is often overlooked. Many thousands attended the Elvis Concert at the O2 in Dublin.

The Lecture on Elvis at Trinity college was packed out a few months ago.

Can't believe nobody here knows the answer! :O

It's Neil Young lads.

Motley Crue

For me, this isn't even a competition, it's Freddie Mercury

Axl Rose is up there but doesn't come close to Freddie

For me:

Band = Beatles

Solo Artist, either Rory Gallagher or Elvis

jack presley

If you were dropped in from another planet and just happened to turn on Kerrang TV, you'd swear it was either Fall Out Boy or Good Charlotte.

GLaDOS

Elvis? I imagine the greatest rock artist would have written their own music...

Given the current state of Kerrang, I have corrected your post :P

In my opinion its gotta be either Rush or Frank Zappa for talent, songwriting, consistent quality and musical variety across so many albums.

old hippy

I've changed my mind. Gotta be Funkadelic, Fela Kuti & Miles Davis.
