ChevyVanMiller Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Here's a vote for "The Band." Whether it was backing up Dylan or making music on their own, they had a sound and a vibe unlike no other. Rent a copy of Sorcese's "The Last Waltz" and see for yourself.

Johnny Coli Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Butthole Surfers 59162[/snapback] There's an awesome chapter on The Butholes in "Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991" by Michael Azerrad. Really entertaining read. If you're into the early indie rock/hardcore scene stuff, this book is a pretty good read. So is Legs McNeil's book "Please Kill me." Great stuff in that one, too, about the NYC scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfmeister Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Greatest American band is ZZ Top or Little Feat small time act is Los Straitjackets. They rock ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBTG81 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Faith No More Seriously... The f'ing Eagles? They are horrible. MetalliKorn sucks, Skynard blows...The only good one on the list is Aerosmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 The greatest American rock band far & away is the Grateful Dead, and I'd say they were pretty close to "mainstream" for the last 10+ years of Jerry's life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBTG81 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 The Eagles are horrible, but you think Barenaked Ladies are great? 59378[/snapback] Yup! The greatest band in the history of music. You should actually LISTEN to their lyrics. Absolutely brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely brilliant. 59379[/snapback] I have two of their albums and do like them. But dude, The Eagles were creating music the likes of which BNL will never understand, in my opinion. Hell, even Skynard were pretty incredible...especially if you were a redneck growing up. But if I recall, you're something of a young'n and probably didn't grow up with either the Eagles or Skynard playing in the background, so I can understand your thinking somewhat.
