Mr. Not Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Don't see why people keep naming bands that were unlisted, of course we have favorites beyond these.. But hey, I'll join in Electric Light Orchestra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snyder80 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Went with Pink Floyd. The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon are both must have albums, imo. I listen to a small smattering of music from the other bands listed but none of them are on my ipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnals Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Oh man, tough choices, but if I could, I'd vote this: 1a. Zeppelin 1aa. Genesis 1aaa. The Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Can't decide between Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, and The Police. Love them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvy Singer Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Iron Maiden and Rush are my joint fave bands so I had to vote Maiden. Big fan of early Queensryche as well (up to Promised Land), met them twice at signings, good guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The holy trinity is Rush Zeppelin Floyd I also really love Queensryhce and Maiden. I enjoy a good amount of Dream Theater. Kings X has some great stuff, the Police have some legendary stuff. The band that has become my obsession after Rush is Porcupine Tree who is amazingly not on this list. They are truly IMO the very best rock band in the world today. Steve Wilson is in the prime of his creative career. The run of the last 5 1/2 albums from Porcupine Tree has been astounding. Lightbulb Sun In Absentia Deadwing Fear of a Blank Planet Nil Recurring (4 song EP that is mindboggling) The Incident Just insane stuff. And live? truly remarkable. Next to Rush they are my favorite band now. For the record I voted for Zeppelin by a hair over Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I picked Yes, but it was a hard choice. I've noticed that I don't have any interest in listening to any band that sort of sounds like Rush. That is what Rush is for. I'm not sure anyone actually sounds like Rush anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostworks Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 QUOTE (Syrinx Priest @ Apr 2 2011, 09:21 AM) ...both Yes and Genesis really out out some crap in the later years. Say what you want about HYF, RTB etc, they still far out weigh the later works of these bands. Yes - Big Generator 1987 Genesis - We Can't Dance 1991 ^ they both have some lemons, but I'd take them all day over RTB and T4E overall, though, I agree with your assessment Genesis 'replaced' Phil Collins (an album I still haven't heard) and effectively killed the band Yes became a parody of themselves once they started trying to recreate their 70's prog sound (as if Drama/90125/Big Generator/Talk had never happened) - their final nail in the coffin was 'replacing' Jon Anderson with a Yes tribute band vocalist Rush could have fallen victim to any one of those pitfalls, and a dozen more - whether you like every album or not, their literal integrity for over 36 years is peerless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 QUOTE (D3strukt @ Apr 2 2011, 11:52 PM)QUOTE (usb_connector @ Apr 2 2011, 04:40 PM) Zeppelin, they wrote the first chapter in the book of metal. Bull. Sabbath did that. LZI was full of covers with two original songs. Disagree with both of you. I think they BOTH wrote the first chapter of metal.......Zep's 2nd album is the one that co-wrote it with Sabbath's first 2 records, much more than Zep 1. Sabbath not only co-wrote chapter one, but with their first 6 albums wrote the rest of the book while Zep only occasionally came back to write a passage or two. Rob Zombie once stated in an interview I saw that everyone in metal is "pretty much doing Sabbath. Some of us speed it up, some of us slow it down, but we're all just doing Sabbath to one extent or another. We're lucky they don't sue us for plagerism."

IChoseFreeWill Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Curiously, none of those were mentioned when I asked for examples of iNtuitive Thinker musicians. The other mentions I recall besides Rush were: - Weird Al Yankovic - They Might Be Giants - Procol Harum So I wonder how many Rush fans like those.

I was just telling a friend last night that I'm surprised Weird Al never used Rush for one of his parodies. Who knows, maybe he approached them, and they refused, but with their sense of humor, that seems out of character. I like what I've heard of the other two bands you mentioned, but am more familiar with (and dig) Weird Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a genius when it comes to parodies. Procol Harum is a great band too. I'm not familiar with a lot of their stuff, but A Salty Dog, Whiter Shade of Pale, and Repent Walpurgis are excellent songs. I've heard of They Might Be Giants, but never listened to them. The whole children's music thing was a turn off, but I should check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
