Since it's next to impossible to pick a GOAT band I've decided to make a list of band who are in the contending
I invite all of yous guys to follow suit

part 1

TOOL









PINK FLOYD

Iron Maiden









DEEP PURPLE

THE WHO









KING CRIMSON

METALLICA










RUSH

THE GRATEFUL DEAD










THE BAND

You are an idiot, mostly.

^^^Elaborate

I'd like to see how you could deny any of the bands I listed.


It was all based on the complexity of their music, song writing ability, innovation, and impact.

I purposely left certain bands out (IE The Beatles who are my personal favorite) because while they might have put out incredible music they were a generally mediocre band.

OOOOOHHHHH just had another idea

Parliament aka Funkadelic










^^^^^Funkadelic was such an incredible fucking band, I don;t understand how they are so underrated.

wheres the mighty slayer?

Tenacious D.

As much as I love Slayer they don't quite make my list.


Make your own list though

DREAM THEATER

hmmm

I'm thinking Radiohead deserves a mention. I don't think i've ever heard anything bad by radiohead.

FUCK NO

Radiohead has to take it.

good list.

i was pleased to see king crimson mentioned

Iron Maiden

Pantera

Slayer

RATM

How about some one man bands
