Most talented band

What band do you think has the most combined talent, and is still making records. (that leaves out led zeppelin, beetles and so on)

For me it would have to be Tool. Amazing drummer and singer, good but not great bassist and guitarist. Their music seems to flow so naturally and there is no band like them that I'm aware of.

But seriously, Rush, if we're discussing musicianship.

You think Justin Chancellor isn't a great bassist?

Not a good start, but anyway.

What do you mean by talent? Define it a bit better. Technical skill?

Dream Theatre are one of the most skilled bands. then of course i could mention jazz bands for hours, but you wouldn't have heard them anyway so no use really.

you are sooooooo cool.

pound for pound, it might be lightning bolt. a drummer who can spazz fill in made up time signatures for loops that last multiple measures, and a bassist who can make a good three instruments worth of sound.

I'm going to have to say either Dream Theater or Rush.

Tool has a hell of a lot of talent, as does Fantomas

Journey or Rush.

Journey's sold more albums, was more popular in their prime, has a much better singer (Geddy Lee sucks as a vocalist), and a better guitarist.

Rush, though, has managed to keep their act together (same three guys) for about five years or so longer than Journey has, and there's three of them.

*And they're much, much better at everything than Journey.

so far Dream Theater is the only band I haven�t herd. I'll ask for them for Christmas.

Use any definition of talent you want. I just need some new artists that aren�t the same poprocks emo indie crap that fills alternative stations. I am having trouble finding new music to listen too.

I need about 4 or 5 more cd�s for Christmas so keep them coming if you can.

I never thought I would see The Ramones in a "Most talented Band" list.

This said, you have a nice list. It's good to see that Joni Mitchell is still respected.

What? No, that's not a most talented list. That's just my Christmas wish list ...to give him ideas beyond who is most talented.

If I don't asked for talented bands I'll get sugestions like simple plan and nickelback, and I don't like simple plan and nickelback.

Out of you list I'll check out Fantomas, Opeth and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Everything else I have either already herd or not interested in.

Need about 2 or 3 more.

Yeah, though people that like Simple Plan might claim they are the most talented.
