[Music] The Greatest Band ever!

[aftershavedave]

Now, my musical penchant happens to be Jazz and black music, but......the greatest band ever are surely The Small Faces, into the Faces circa 1972?

My particuar fave is Debris


But so many others, Rod Stewart was a voice indeed

 

[Is it PotG?]

As John Weller would have said ‘Put your hands together for the best band in the f###ing world, The Jam!’

I saw The Jam 9 times, and loved them. But there was no Jam without Faces

 

[Flounce]

Rod Stewart is a long way short of Steve Marriott in the singing stakes! IMO obviously



I loved the Small Faces but it’s hard to think beyond the Stones as the greatest band ever

The Doors shone for a while, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Fleetwood Mac in both guises, Queen, Pink Floyd, The Who, REM, Bob Marley, The Eagles, Creedence CR, The Kinks etc. Younger people may include the Clash, The Jam, Oasis, Nirvana

Can I include Coldplay in the contenders?

Harry will be along soon nominating at least 20 bands I have never heard of, except maybe Caravan

And here you go, Ronnie Lane genius:

All down to opinions I guess. The Beatles had their influences too. I grew up listening to the 'best band in the world'

Steve Marriott I agree, but.......Coldplay nein danke. The late 60s early 70s Faces are without doubt the finest of all time

 

[Swegulls]

The Clash for me.

 

[aftershavedave]

The Clash for me.

I saw the Clash in 78. They wouldn't have been there without the Kinks and Faces

 

[Stato]

The Beatles .

Maybe not, but they were better

 

[southstandandy]

The Boxer Rebellion.

Macca said this is the greatest song ever written.

So therefore by default surely it has to be The Beach Boys…..

 

[Weststander]

For me, in no particular order:

The Beatles
Joy Division
New Order
The Jam

Steve Marriott, the same for Steve Winwood, incredible vocalists even as teens. Stunning.

Not sure I’ll run with the opinion of the guy who wrote the Frog Song, Let it Be, Hey Jude and Mull of Kintyre’s opinion over most other musicians

All songs to send you to sleep from boredom.

 

[TugWilson]

PINK FLOYD - Dave Gilmore`s voice and guitar are a thing of true beauty , if Mozart were alive he would be a fan .

You mean Paul McCartney?

The Paul McCartney whose repertoire includes the Frog Song, Yellow Submarine, Mary had a little lamb, Wonderful Christmas time, Silly love songs, Pipes of peace?


That Paul McCartney?

When he was good he was great, but, when he was bad, he was worse than awful.
