And saying that they were the first is nonsense, because jazz was kicking musical arse before that and the first arsekicking progband was the first arsekicking progband. They didn't have the beatles as example to arsekicking, because they don't.

OuchHmmmm.... nice! Aren't you a self-professed Christian? Angry Have you ever heard of Christ's tenet to "Do onto others, as you would have them do onto you?" Assuming that you have, I put it to you, JerkSpurious, that YOU are the fool, if you can't engage in a civil discussion about music without insulting people.Stern Smile

Your post is near incoherent, as well.Confused

And so the forum becomes friendlier and friendlier....Dead

Everyone: "Greatest" is undefined in this context, and highly subjective, so all responses are right!Stern Smile

This is just sillyDead

Say what you think,not what you think you would be expected to say as a "serious music connoisseur."

The greatest band of all time=your favourite band of all timeConfused

That is obvious to me-because you cannot quantify "greatest"- that title is subjective.

However,if the question demanded the most influential rock band of all time,my reply would be:

The Beatles. Of course.No real argument with that.Big smile

Who are the "everyone" who know Rush "were crap" after Signals.I for one do not agree at all.Confused

However,you are entitled to your opinion.Big smile

The best band of all time, as an objective fact: The Beatles

In my own opinion: Pink Floyd

This is one of the reasons I asked this question in the first place, Reed. I wanted to see if people can differentiate their favorite band from a band they recognize as the greatest band of all time.

who knows?

The title of Greatest Rock band of all time would be a combination of popularity vote,nostalgia and intellectual snobbery.

Of course my favourite band is Rush.

You'd consider Dream Theater for the all-time greatest band? Don't get me wrong, I love them. But the best ever?

Calm down, I'm with you. You have to see that most people don't know enough music. I do, but not most people.

There is not doubt that DT is one of the best. In fact, I consider IAW as the best album EVER MADE. Yes folks, EVER MADE!
