We don't really need anything, matter of fact  We don't even need this website and probably not even food and water, cos sh*t, who cares about anything anyway, right? But we do it anyway  So why not sit back, enjoy the ride, contribute your thought, make this thread meaningful if you consider it isn't or move along? There's plenty of non-fanboyism and even bashing on other threads.

I decided not to have a life this afternoon and for some reason got hooked on youtube watching Rush videos. Now, I'm no Rush fanatic but I went through a Rush stage around 2112 and this lasted until Exit stage left, well no the Signals album and I've also seen them about 6 or 7 times. After watching everything from Garden Road from Caress Of Steel to Far Cry from Snakes and Arrows I could relate to all the Rush heads that are here.

I'm definitely not a Rush head, but when I saw the title of your post Rush was the one band that popped instantly into mind. Not quite my style of music, but they very rarely let you down.

i was just about to say, Wow! Nobody has mentioned Rush yet ! 
I can listen to every GG album as well and, as someone mentioned earlier even the the three last ones. Also, Crimson. I can find something interesting in every single album. I'm even a sucker for the collectors series. unconditional love ? Not if you,re talking about bands like Triumvirat or Genesis. i think Triumvirat nullified anything they did that was great with that Russian Roulette catastrophe.

The original era of the Moody Blues can do no wrong in my mind. Up until they're hiatus after Seventh Sojourn that is, which they returned from as an incredibly generic pop band.
Zappa is another good mention, I've never heard anything from him I didn't like.

No band falls into this category for me.
Even Camel, IQ, Genesis, Mostly Autumn; they've all done brilliant albums most of the time, but a small minority of stuff has been substandard.

Don't you have some inherently flawed grindcore and other such modern foolishness to play with?

I think some of you are missing the point, if you think some of their albums or even some parts of their albums are just OK then they're not eligible. So I'm surprised to see so many people saying TMV and PT. Do you guys really think that the 4 minute intro to L'Via and Voyage 34 are good? |
Like I said in my post, it depends on how strict you are being, if a band in general has not put out what I'd call "crap", I listed them because it's more interesting than saying, "Every band ever has played a bad note therefore this thread is useless"... Voyage 34 is bland but listenable as background music, so I can forgive them that. TMV is a band that can almost do no right for me, however. :P

Had to be said.  The longer, softer and neutered version might go something like this: By proffering examples of artists you honestly consider have never vandalised your ears or (here's the clincher it's Can Do No Wrong not Could) and never will produce what you deem aural poo in the future just might leave you open to charges of: 1 - Indiscriminate fanboyism 2 - Being so blinkered you can't even see your rider 3 - Necromancy. To be burned at the stake for using your witchy powers to see into the future (but don't put a bet on runner number 2) Any band with a discography of say, at least 5 albums has invariably undercooked/overcooked a turkey at one time. It dosen't make them a bad band, it's just the way creativity has peaks and troughs during any musician's career. BTW I don't think any of the foregoing was the thread starter's intention.

MY band is the only band that can do no wrong for me. Who knows my taste better than I do, right?

I have found Univers Zero and Present to have been consistently very good over the years with their releases.
