See, I thought of the Doors, but cancelled myself out thinking they are too gimmicky. I also thought of the Ramones, but they really just fed off of the punk influx.
as far as work goes, I am with rednecks and classic rockers. I think I'm screwed.

Why the fuck haven't I even thought about Motown yet. Diana Ross and the Supremes.
Also, what about stuff like Sly and the Family Stone? Stuff like that doesn't usually get brought up, but once you start looking sideways it definitely shifts from UK>US to US>UK :american

(http://i36.tinypic.com/34xf3vm.png)Bob Marley is Jamaican. FAIL
That's the joke.I know. I was joking since it's a pic of Jimi Hendrix. 3 HIT FAIL
The pic isn't even of Bob Marley. Double fail.

I'm not supporting this statement, but in terms of popularity, wouldn't we have to count the Backstreet Boys or the New Kids on the Block?
They were pretty fucking big in their time and lasted a good long while. (A lot longer than I wanted them to.)

No which is why longevity is important. No one barely remembers or plays any of their songs and in 10 years it will be even more so and in 20 years they will be regarded the same way we regard any teen-bopper fad of its day.
New Kids on the Block = definitive boy band
Yeah, mention the Replacements to anyone over the age of 40 and see how much of a response you get. :lol
In fact, mention the Replacements to the first 20 people you see on the street and if you get a single person who can tell you the name of one of their songs, I'll be very surprised.
what do you mean, eventually? they were already shitty.
I'd imagine Nirvana would have gotten shitty eventually, like the rest of the bands of their era.

I always thought they were much better than all those other bands so I'm not so sure.

You're the last person who should be speaking on them but I digress....
Why are some of you claiming The Band? The Band is ours, goddammit.

imo Soundgarden shat on them, and while Nirvana>Pearl Jam, Ten>Nirvana's catalogue.
AIC is criminally overlooked too.
Jesse and the Rippers

Soundgarden is a fine band who I also like. Just not as much as I liked Nirvana. As far as the rest of the those bands it was never even close for me. I enjoyed Pearl Jam's intensity while simultaneously never liking very much of their music.

Kurt was probably the best pure songwriter out of that batch of bands, although Chris Cornell was close.
Ten is amazing, but I can't get into much else from Pearl Jam. They have many great songs from the rest of their albums, but the actual full albums are eh.
I kind of want to put AIC above Nirvana too...but I haven't listened to their stuff in awhile

I simply like Nirvana more than those other groups because they were the best for me at combining appealing pop music with their grunge. Because of that their music appeals to me on a level beyond just grunge or rock. Their music is catchy in a way that the rest of grunge music wasn't without becoming what pop-grunge became after they left the scene.
I think America has more individual artists. I listed CSN&Y, but really it's Neil Young's own work that stands out.
Pearl Jam is a hard band to judge because their musical legacy is so tainted by the string of bands that followed their sound.
well, in Vedder's defense even on Vs. he doesn't sing like he does on Ten - he's distanced himself from that "constipated-Cher" sound as much as he can without disowning the (good) songs.
Most people talking about the greatest bans tend to include bands that lasted a while, produced a fair number of hits that resonated with a good portion of the population that hold up well to those fans, and not just limited to some obscure corner on the internet.
Linkin' Park bitches!
(http://i36.tinypic.com/34xf3vm.png)Holy LOLy. That's epic fail.
I am glad someone else brought up Darth Vedders shitty voice - it's my main gripe with PJ
"Wuuuhuuna uh huuuhaaaheeeeeeyaaaa thu thinnnn ya humuuuaaahuuuuhaaaa"
it's like he's only able to sing through a 40ft sponge.

It's part of the reason I like Pearl Jam but part of the reason I can't list them as like THE BEST BAND EVERRRRR and definitely why I can't list them above Nirvana or even Alice in Chains for the time period.
