[flappo]

i'd pick CVH , Queen and The Who as equal Numero Uno

[Soul Reaper]

I go on digitaldreamdoor a lot....it is indeed cool....

[Soul Reaper]

I'd say The Zep, CVH or Queen.....or The Who.....maybe.....it's too hard to choose....

[Warham]

Beatles

[Soul Reaper]

oh yeah, and them....

[flappo]

not live , surely

[flappo]

brian may actually said "classic rock Oct 2004" that in his opinion the who were a much better band than queen !

nuff said

[flappo]

they got one thing right

1. Jimi Hendrix* - Jimi Hendrix Experience
2. Eric Clapton - Yardbirds, Cream, Derek & The Dominos, Solo
3. Jimmy Page - Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, The Firm
4. Jeff Beck - Yardbirds, Jeff Beck Group, Solo
5. Eddie Van Halen - Van Halen

maybe not

i'd put jeff beck at number one , followed by eddie and then brian

jimmy page is shit live , beck owns him , eddie too

[Soul Reaper]

they DO revise the lists, so it's not a fixed list....which is grate in my book....

[Warham]

The Beatles weren't the best live band, of course. Their mastery was in the studio, where they never released a sub-par or even average album during their brief eight year career. It gave them plenty of time to put out clunkers after they all went solo. They've really had no competition that's come close in terms of popularity, and their immense fandom can be described by one word: Beatlemania, something rock 'n roll hasn't seen since. Almost everyone alive over forty can hum a Beatles tune, even if they don't speak English. I don't know if the same can be said for any other band.

[Matt White]

I'm partial to "MUSTY SABADASH & THE SLACK-JAWED EXPLOSION"......

WE ROCK!!!:D

[flappo]

hhaah , grate choice

[flappo]

early beatles were shit

george martin is what saved them

jeff beck too

everywhere , except the usa , the answer is Queen

in latin countries they're numero uno

[Last_Child]

Jeff Beck Owns Everyone when is comes to Guitar.

[flappo]

i agree 100%

man , he's the king™

[flappo]

his last 3 albums , jeff , who else and you had it coming

are masterpieces of modern rock guitar

his 2 other early masterworks - blow by blow and wired

they simply confirm him as a GENIUS

[Warham]

I can only count a handful of Queen songs that could even be considered classics. I think Van Halen even has them beat in this category.

i love vh as much as anyone

but you heard of queen's gratest hits vol 1 , 2 & 3 ?

a few more than cvh methinx

:D

[Rikk]

QUEEN are amazing.

Right now, I'm thinking THE WHO. Tomorrow, I'll think LED ZEPPELIN. The day after, THE BEATLES. And after that, THE KINKS or THE DEAD KENNEDYS.

It always changes.

But where are A-HA?:D

[Warham]

Yeah, I've got V. 1 & 2. I don't consider 'Fat Bottomed Girls' and 'Bicycle Race' classics. Sorry.

[Rikk]

I beg to differ, WAR. But I would also say that 'TIL I DIE and THE TRADER (to me) are even bigger classics.

[Warham]

The Queen songs I enjoy are 'You're My Best Friend', 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Maybe a couple others. Besides those, I have a hard time caring.

jimmy page is shit live , beck owns him , eddie too

i agree....his invention and originality far surpasses all guitarists....

[Rikk]

Yup. JIMI HENDRIX was the best. I'm sorry, but Eddie had nothing on him...

[flappo]

BULLSHIT

beck was and STILL is better

jimi even said said so

look it up

:)

[ELVIS]

100 Greatest Guitarists (All Genres):Brian-143rd


:confused:

[Jahuli]

To me Queen will always be the best band in the world, but i go through different phases of what im listening to, even when im not listening to queen their always my favourite.

Also i really dont see what so special about hendrix , My top 4 guitar players in no order:

Jimmy Page
Brian May
EVH
Slash

Just cause jimmy sometimes wasnt that great live he still top in my book.

[ELVIS]

You like Splash but don't find anything special about Hendrix...:elvis:

[LoungeMachine]

Beatles


duh.



jesus.

[Golden AWe]

HEY! :(

I really cunt decide between LZ, Sabbath and CVH. Queen and The Who make it even harder. I've been cranking up loads of WHO'S NEXT and LIVE AT LEEDS lately...

[flappo]

yeah , who's next is fucking amazing

really shows the band at full pelt

you seen that video from 1970 - live at the isle of wight ??

FUCKING AWESOME

[Soul Reaper]

Originally posted by Jahuli
Slash

What's so special about Slash....compared to Hendrix he's a talentless hack....

My top 5 guitarists (in no particular order, no particular genre)

Jeff Beck
Jimi Hendrix
Allan Holdsworth
EVH
Jimmy Page

That usually changes.....

[Soul Reaper]

Originally posted by flappo

I was a little confused by that as well....he should be at least 70th, following the criteria for that list and seeing who would be above him....

[Golden AWe]

FUCKING AWESOME

I have, but only on TV...Keith Moon...and Daltrey, you really can't learn how to sing with a voice like his, you're born with a sound like that...or not!

all these shows are avalable on DVD nowadays, which is amazing, but the dvd drive of my labtop is a fucking waste, and I cant really use it properly...I cunt even burn anything I download from the net...GAWD, I need a new computer.

[Soul Reaper]

If you hear Love Reign O'er Me, you see why Daltrey is considered one the best vocalists....

[Soul Reaper]

Why has no one voted for the Wombles?

The underdogs of this poll...come on, guys....

;)

[flappo]

yeah , they kick ass !

:D

[wooda]

gotta go with Queen.

VH may have been better for a short span of time, but Queen is far more consistant overall, except I don't get this Paul Rogers thing.

[flappo]

me neither

robbie or george faggot woulda been better choices imo

at least they're real queens

[Jahuli]

slash is nothin like hendrix!
To me hendrix is frankly quite boring, to me slash is probably the most emotive player around (him and brian May)

[flappo]

some of hendrix's stuff WAS amazing , but i'm not a big fan of his playing style to be honest , beck always seemed more polished to me

i agree that brian may is def. a vastly underrated guitarist

i'd put him in the top 5 of all time

1. evh
2. jeff beck
3. brian may
4. tomsk
5. orinocho

George Michael would have been the ultimate replacement. At least he cab sing the songs in the same smooth range as Freddie

[bueno bob]

Well it's obviously these guys.

Shit, is there any question?

What does that tell you?

Queen ARE the champions.

Whether you like them or not, you can't deny their popularity/achievements. They are a band that EVERYBODY should respect.

[rustoffa]

It's a pretty subjective thing...I'd have to say Elvis' original band, just on the floodgate factor.

One night, Donita Sparks went, "I wanna thank all you stupid fucking rednecks for coming out to see us tonight!".....I thought L7 was the gratest band ever for awhile after that.

great musicianship.....great talent.....can never be topped for their originality.....

[Dave's Bitch]

ima probably get bashed for this but Guns N Roses imo.they were the first band i ever LOVED and i love all of there stuff.

[Soul Reaper]

i haven't got a problem with GnR....

[m_dixon1984]

I'll give the Wombles the nod over the Smurfs and Alvin and Chipmunks. Winnie the Pooh for The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers and Kermit the Frog for It's Not Easy Being Green would come out on top, however.

One great album doesn't give them a place here-especially when they have a singer who is more of a cunt that Hagar.
