I was wondering who was the top rock band?

I can tell you who it's not, and it's not Bon Jovi.

Oh, and btw, who are areosmith? Never heard of 'em.

is this a serious poll?

Haha..Foreigner. Where the hell are Firehouse and Loverboy?

A cheap AEROSMITH cover band perhaps.

C-Dic your a Firehouse fan? AWESOME!, but theres just one thing Firehouse came in 1990, so they aint 80's, loverboy on the otherhand are 80's, but if your asking about popularity the tilte gose to Bon Jovi and Guns N' Roses for the 80's I'd say, 70's though I have no clue.

I voted for Metallica. Just cos they're Metallica.

the smiths all the way...on that list Zeppelin

Metallica...Even though they werent around in the 70's...

I only like Zep, Stones and some Metallica songs in that list.

black sabbath

.... you are officially dumb. metallicas first album came out in 1983. why would they write AND record a song 7 years earlier and finally release it 15 years later?

that is what you think. areosmith was very popular hit wise. the first hit was in 1971 "dream on" which was about the band going to break up but never did. 1978 "walk this way" 1983 sweet emotions" "love in an elevator" was in the mid eighties. "rag doll" late eighties. "dude looks like a lady was in the late eighties also. There are many more hits, but too many to list and areosmith was the only few bands that never broke up and their last album was in 2001 which had one good song "jaded." Steve Tyler was the only lead singer.

wtf are you talking about? aerosmith and metallica are two WAY different bands and what you said had absolutely nothing to do with the facts i have listed.

I have read in the almanac and it said that metallica had hits in the seventies but not much. I'm just going by what the almanac had to say about rock hits of the seventies and it said enter sandman was a hit in the mid seventies.

metallica was even around in the 70's.

let me check in the almanac then

check away

I have found it but strange it didn't have a year by it, so i must have looked from somewhere else then. yes, aerosmith and metallica were very different and had success. metallic had many hits but areosmith has been around since the late sixties. areosmith was an up and coming band in the seventies and they reached its peak in the eighties, the nineties were different. people got tired of long haired dudes with exotic clothes. So the long hair era ended in the early nineties, but aerosmith did not die and they released a popular album nine lives in 1997 and "pink" was the best song on the album. later they slumped and really wasn't heard of until 2001 with a new album I forgot the name of it but they had totally new songs and the old ones wasn't one it but "jaded" was a good song. Steve Tyler is now in his sixties and still he hasn't broken up his band yet. I don't know too much about metallica but they broke up and they went into rehab and was released last year. I was just wondering how long they they go back and if ever. areosmith has been playing for over 35 years. I don't know much of their early history but they brought a new influence of music in the early seventies.

i dont give a shit about aerosmith. i dont even know why you wasted your time typing all that useless crap.

it isn't useless it is good facts. aerosmith was a very successful band and do deserve to have some facts about them.

they suck.

not hit wise they don't.

hit wise doesnt matter. there are a lot of underground un-mainstream bands that are very good but they dont have billboard hits. does this mean they suck?

they had more smash hits than you think.

no, they may have one of two good hits, but areosmith had many and I have a burn CD that has 15 of his greatest hits and still I don't have all of his hits. some bands may have a great album and it may last a long time but if they don't make another good one then whats the point of having a band, your going to go bankrupt because they could never produce another album like it. areosmith kept having album after album with hit after hit until people were sick of them. Kansas is another good example of a once popular band with just one album.

hits aren't important. 50 cent makes hits, and look at him, he's a walking talentless idiot.

besides areosmith was too good to have a crowd boo at them.

so is areosmith.

lmao yes i know.

well thats good. sorry, I must have looked at another band.

again. you are officially dumb.

what was metallica's last hit?

what was aerosmiths last hit?

I don't so, I gave alot of information on aerosmith doesn't mean so and if I don't know much about metallica doesn't mean so either. that is why I'm asking you guys about metallica since you know so much about them.

2001

"jaded" was the song.

Originally posted by cking

what was more succesful. St. Anger or Jaded.

I don't know, it really doesn't matter. but I have heard jaded more, but I never really heard of st. anger on the radio that much.

that was before I heard of metallica, I probably never recognized them.

good job. aerosmith sucks.

that is what you think because you never heard of them and that is why you say they are. you have to know their history to say that they are, but you don't know so you say they aren't any good because you don't have anything else to say.

you just told me there history, and who HASNT heard aerosmith.

This thread is just horrible doh

Led Zeppelin are easily the best out of that list.

I think you should have done two seperate threads...

anyway, I voted for Led Zepplin.

Bardcok--- was that for me or him?

Aerosmith had one really good CD (Toys In THe Attic) before they became parodies of themselves.

it would have to come down to areosmith and led zeppelin. zeppelin had one smash hit "stairway to heaven" which was in the seventies. that song was hard to beat during its time. none of areosmith's songs was as good as that. led zeppelin was a Little older band and they started in the mid sixties. they band broke up in the early eighties after their lead singer died of alcohol poisoning in a drinking binge. when he died so did led zeppelin. This fate happened to another band that wasn't considered a rock group. lynard skynard was a popular band in the seventies until in 1977 a plane crash in a woods changed everything. Ronnie van was the lead singer and song writer for the group, he died and so did others and after that lynard skynard was never heard of again. led zeppelin was a hot group in the seventies while aerosmith was descent. but when zeppelin broke up, areosmith took over and the eighties was the decade for areosmith.

cking, please come back when you know what you are talking about.


nope, he's still alive. Bonham, however, is dead.


1) Zeppelin was the most popular band of the 70s - and not just because of Stairway to HEaven
2) Stairway to Heaven isn't that good a song. Black Sabbath, and actually Zeppelin themselves, had a lot of better songs.


Lynyrd Skynyrd is considered a rock band. They are the most popular Southern Rock band ever. Aerosmith disappeared in the 80s until "Walk This Way". So the 80s weren't exactly 'the decade for areosmith'. btw, it's aerosmith.

Where are the Eagles?

just stop. your only embarrassing yourself and you are COMPLETELY wrong on 99% of the things you speak of that are "facts". so just hush and go back to your corner.

wrong, lynard synard was not completely a rock band but country in some categories. yes, they were the most successful southern rock band in history, but they wouldn't make in the eighties because they would have to change the style of their music in order to keep up with non southern rock bands. they never did in the 70's because they had no need to because they were very new and nobody every heard of them before, but int the eighties everyone would be sick of their music because they would never upgrade it to sound eighties. never would never do that because it wouldn't be southern rock anymore, they could but it would never work and they would never be that successful. stairway to heaven was a major hit back then even if were don't agree on that, but truly it was.aerosmith changed also and it proved successful and it not they would have died away. wrong, areosmith had more hits in the eighties than any other decade. aerosmith ha been through the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, and up today. led zeppelin has been through the sixties and the seventies. I wouldn't say that zeppelin and black sabbath had more hits. that is based on your opinion if you think have more hits. on my radio station plays aerosmith all the time and less zeppelin, strange? wouldn't zeppelin be played more because they had better songs based on your facts? aerosmith simply had more hits because they simply changed their music when society changed over time, some bands couldn't do that because they only knew their music and nothing else. aerosmith did but not without a cost. they had success in the nineties but still not like the eighties, the nine lives album in 1997 still sounded like it was recorded in the eighties. despite it did have hits like "pink." bands simply had to changed when society changes because people would be sick of listening to music that sounded like seventies when it is in the eighties. I have no never heard of zeppelin in the eighties, what happened to them then? shouldn't they be the best in the eighties? I guess not. if it came down to an overall all poll of the people in this country who live through the seventies and the eighties then it would go to aerosmith, only because they were heard of the most and not zeppelin despite they were a hot band in the seventies but disappeared in the eighties.

Where did you get this shit? One Smash Hit? Wrong. The Lead singer dying of Alcohal Poisoning? Wrong.

that isn't what the biography on TV said.

Stairway to Heaven their only hit? Appareantly you've never heard Communication Breakdown, or Kashmir.

And, on a side note,

http://askmen.co.uk/men/entertainment_100/pictures_100/robert_plant/robert_plant_150c.jpg

Robert Plant, lead vocals for Led Zeppelin, alive and breathing in the 90s. He didn't die.

All the members of Nirvana had long hair, and they practicly defined the rock of the early nineties.

Robert Plant, lead vocals for Led Zeppelin, alive and breathing in the 90s. He didn't die. John Henry Bonham, the drummer, was the guy that died in the alcohol overdose.

To add some of Led's 'only' hits:

Over the Hills and Far Away
Kashmir
The Ocean
Heartbreaker
Ramble On
White Summer/Black Mountain Side
Black Dog
Ten Years Gone

Just a small list, mainly because I don't really rate songs like Communication Breakdown and Whole Lotta Love.

i wasn't aware that they taught people how to spell aerosmith in english classes nowadays.

does it really matter.

Yes.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go shoot myself. The number of ridiculous or just annoying statements has scarred me permanently.

I just looked up lyrics.com and I have found out that led zeppelin had only three albums compared to aerosmith has 10 or more. the last of zeppelin's albums was in 1971. only three albums! I thought they were great in the seventies? there wasn't a greatest hits album either.

they were were more like greatest rock band of the sixties.

Led Zeppelin... Only three albums... Can't... Think... Augh... The stupidity... And they DO have a greatest hits album, wouldn't be surprised if they had several... Gee, I wonder why that wouldn't show up on lyrics.com, maybe because all the songs on the greatest hits album are songs that they put on other albums?

no, lyrics.com only gave three. three! here are the dates. 1969 the first the second of the same year, then 1971 and that was it. they disappeared in the seventies. I looked up areosmith and had 10 or more albums and one greatest hits in 1980. I tried to see they had any other albums besides that but there wasn't.

Led Zeppelin I - 1969
Led Zeppelin II - 1969
Led Zeppelin III - 1970
Led Zeppelin IV (Four Signs) - 1971
Houses Of The Holy - 1973
Physical Graffiti - 1975

Greatest Hits - 1980

Here's an interesting way of looking at things: lyrics.com is a site for LYRICS! Not a list of albums by different bands msn-oh

not just lyrics, they will do albums of different groups also.

yes, areosmith did have greatest hits live in 1986, I have already looked that up but I should have included it with the 1980 one.

aerosmith and led zep had the same amount of albums in the 70's. hmmm who was more succesful?

http://www.riaa.com/gp/bestsellers/topartists.asp


Led Zep - 107.5 Million
Aerosmith - 65.5 Million


hmmm..... after their "3" albums acording to you they sure as hell sold a lot compared to aerosmiths' "10 or more albums and one greatest hits"

Originally posted by cking

Jesus, how ****ing dense are you? Obviously the site doesn't show ALL albums by ALL bands, because it only had 3 albums by Led Zeppelin listed. Ask yourself, is it logical that a band with 3 albums could be considered, without a doubt, one of the top 10 greatest and most influential bands of all time? Christ.

I looked up askjeeves.com and it said that areosmith had 17 while led had 12.

and you should read my other post up there. that shows Led Zeps entire discography. point being, cking doesnt know shit and should shut the **** up.

yeah, I looked up that site also and it was very interesting. Elvis was only second to the Beatles.

whoa! slow down stinkfish462. you don't have to be that harsh, of course I have seen alot worse.

"Worthy". Lay the **** off, both of you. Just because he's not following doesn't give either of you the right to lay into him. I'm really ****ing sick of this plague of users with these god complexes and elitist attitudes that are literal CANCERS of the Music forums as of late.

Apparently, he's confused. Give him the facts, and then leave it alone. NOBODY has the right to verbally abuse someone so maliciously as you guys have done, regardless of someone elses inability to comprehend immediately. Had you guys been a little more CIVIL to begin with, provided the factual information to make your point in the first post, then maybe we wouldn't have to go through this shit. Don't let your frustration cloud your ability to rationally debate a topic.

I'm not issuing warnings, especially since it's not my jurisdiction, but I can suggest you get back on topic, lay off with the insults, and take the information provided to make an educated reply for future references in regards to the subject.

Absolutely

Getting your point across is fair enough, but too far is too far. You have to remember that there is actually a person behind the username and sig, and that person might actually be really offended by these kinds of comments.

Clearly, DR and Stinkfist are right, and cking is wrong, but it's really nobody's fault and that's the end of it. Back OT please, and maybe you guys should read the note I wrote up when I first became mod again. You might have forgotten, but it still applies.

This is a warning to all involved, anymore name calling/insults and you will be banned.

at least read the list of Led Zepppelin albums i put up AND a link to their OFFICIAL website with all their releases. you could at least do that instead of arguing about something that you have already lost.



http://www.aerosmith.com/discography.html

aerosmith website discography shows 23. point being askjeeves.com is a liar (on some occasions)

QUEEN...

I LOVE THEM

yeah, they were really good in the late and early eighties. When I listen to them I always think of Wayne's world for some reason. I can remember the mountain dew commercials that involved queen and it was very strange. They were played alot in that movie miracle that involved the 1980 hockey team that beat the Russians for the first time since the sixties. They were played alot in some hockey movies for some reason, maybe they do sound like hockey music.

Out of them, Rolling Stones because I don't really like the others. U2 should be there but then again they are the best rock band ever

U2 best rock band ever? Wait...........Bono, is that you?

Zeppelin for me.

-AC

Zeppelin, off of that list..
And are you meaning best of favorite? My favorite isn`t even on that list (GN'R) but Zeppelin is the best

I put Led Zeppelin, but where the hell is The Who, The Kinks, and many other good bands from that era? Half of this is crap.

Well My vote would be for Queen, but its not on the list so I went for The Rolling Stones.
