YAY GRAND FUNK RAILROAD! I had a chance to see them not too long ago, but my brother broke his arm. It was devastating to miss them My mom was "too tired" to take us. I think she just wanted to ruin my day. They're excellent musicians and I love their work.
I think that 'The Doors' is my overall favourite 'Rock outfit' of all-time. My reasoning is based upon their masterly blended sound of electric keyboards - Gibson/Les Paul/SG slide guitars combined with millitary drumming & wistful,pensive blues singing.
The Stones are miserable selloouts. They're on Ameriquest commercials and have their tour sponsered by ED pills, for christ's sake.
Yeah I hate the Stones too for some reason. As for the greatest band of all time.. well there isn't one.. but there are a few bands who in my opinion are easily the most influential rock bands ever.. The Beatles, The Who, Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Led Zeppelin.
Pffft, what band hasn't sold out, even Bob Dylan is making commericals for Ipods and Victorias Secret
You can't just put some random bands in a poll and expect everyone to think one of those is the best. There will be people whose favourite band is in that list, but not everyone has the same tastes, not even roughly, and a lot of people, including myself, will not recognise theirs in your poll.
