you cant be serious@Radiohead comment.and you mention White Stripes!!. one drink too many eh?

wtf do you mean and you mention the white stripes? the white stripes are way more "rock" than radiohead. but see egg, radiohead isnt just plain rock, but really neither is wilco if you think about it, very few bands are just pure rock, and its funny that tree you mention the stripes because they are 1 of them.

justindie, might you please write in English so the rest of us can appreciate your comments ? I'm being serious; your stream of consciousness style has me thoroughly bewildered.
Thank you.

oops, i forgot, not abbreviations of any kind on this forum, oops i missed a comma too.

for people like kult, who cannot read anything unless it is puncuated perfectly, here ya go, my orig post

What the fuck do you mean by not rock? And why mention the White Stripes? The White Stripes are way more "rock" than radiohead. But see EggTweedy, Radiohead isn't just plain rock, but neither is Wilco, if you think about it very few bands are just pure rock, and it's funny that you mention the stripes tree because they are 1 of the few pure rock bands.

better?

Yeah, that was better, but you did seem to tire out a bit in the end there.

Yeah i know what you mean just indie. But i consider that all post-ok computer albums by Radiohead are not rock. It's mainly electronic, especially Kid A. Wilco is definitly a rock band that uses some electronic elements. Anyway, a rock band doesn't need to be formed by 4-5 members: 1 singer, 1-2 guitar, 1 bass, 1 drum. anyway what is important is that those 5 bands i mentionned are awesome. period.

my number 5 is White Stripes, but i could have name others, including Mclusky and Converge. I don't even want to hear Led Zeppelin. Too old

1. Led Zeppelin, no questions asked.
2. The Doors.
3. The Beatles.
4. ZZ Top, they totally don't get as much credit as they deserve.
5. The Who.

Notice that all the bands I picked are classic rock. That's because that was, is, and always will be the best. Honorable mentions go to Ted Nugent, Bruce Springsteen, and CCR.

AC/DC is not one of the bests, though they are good. And that, simply, is because all of their music sounds relatively the same. They have no understanding of the word diversity.

Top 5 greatest rock bands? this is the easiest post out there right now:

1. The Beatles
2. The Rolling Stones
3. Led Zeppelin
4. Pink Floyd
5. The Doors

I wouldnt really consider stuff like Elvis rock though so keep that in mind.

1. The Beatles
2. Queen
3. The Who
4. The Yardbirds (during Beck's tenure)
5. The Smiths

God...there are more than 5 that can be tied for this....but I'll bite anyway....
-Led Zeppelin
-The Beatles
-The Clash
-The Who
-Guided By Voices

Rock kind of covers a lot, but this is my list in no particular order.

Beatles
Pearl Jam
Led Zeppelin
Grateful Dead
Bob Dylan
