Who's the best around

[Gnrfan]

Forget who you like and who you respect.

Forget how much money bands make.

Alot of bands played their hearts out at Reading and Leeds festival . . Pearl Jam were awesome, Arctic monkeys were probally the most anticpated.

I hear alot of people tell me Hip Hop is the biggest music market in the world. But its always Rock related band that seem to bring out the crowds.

I recently heard that U2 and Coldplay are the most known bands amongst 12-30 year olds

There are also bands like the Arctic Monkeys who are huge in the Uk and i hear doing pretty well in the states. Not saying they are the biggest yet . . But they seem to be on their way.

Maybe Radiohead or Maybe Chilli Peppers.

Who do you think is currently the biggest act in the world

[Malcolm]

Rolling Stones

[BA]

probably the rollin stones.

then maybe u2.sadly.

[Neemo]

prolly U2

[Gnrfan]

Totally forgot about the Stones.

Good Call

artic monkeys and any band that is a total clone of them, like most modern english indie bands do not deserve to be put anywhere near the words. rock music.


biggest act in the world? ....defo lordi. :DD:D:D:D: (at least im trying to name a band that dont suck and are totally mainstream that have some success lol)

[-Jack-]

It's probably The Rolling Stones.

Maybe U2

EDIT: Maybe you should change the title of the topic to "Whos the BIGGEST around?" not "Whos the BEST around" cause thats what your asking

[mdttkk]

for sure rolling stones and u2 are the only ones who can sell out stadium after stadium.  if AC/DC started touring again maybe they could too.  hopefully GNR will too once the public sees more of them.  i for sure know a reunited GNR with a new album would sell out every single friggin stadium in the world, i think they would  be the biggest.  never know it might happen one day 

[Neemo]

It's probably The Rolling Stones.

Maybe U2

yeah i agree cuz U2 definately isn't the best band but they are the biggest IMO

[gun]

U2

[Kujo]

Cirque De Soleil

[journey]

U2 seemed to have sustained solid popularity through the years. They're as big today as in their heyday. They stay relevant without changing origin or quality, which seems to be a major part of the success.

[comaknight]

Those Irish bastards...

(U2 fan; Irish heritage - allowed to make above comment)

[mornintrain]

yeah RS or U2.  But of the younger bands, I would say Red Hot Chili Pepperes are really big right now.

[Genesis]

U2.
Although I don't know why...

[D]

1.U2 *even though I hate them*
2.Bon Jovi
3.RHCP

[Gnrfan]

So where do the new crop of bands fit in.

The likes of:

Fallout boy
Arctic Monkeys
Strokes
The Killers etc

they all seem to be getting pretty big fast. Obviously not to the same extent as the others but just wondering whaere the new crop stand.

I mean the Killers have to be one of the biggest around now. Don't they?

Couldn't agree more, I hate it when people do the horns and think they like rock because they listen to these bands.  These bands don't have attitude, they're like a bunch of trendy pussies.

As to who's the best, it's impossible for me to say!  I change my opinion on who's best daily.  Mastodon are doing it for me right now.  At least they're musically interesting and challenging like even The Beatles were at one time!  RHCP and the Stones on the other hand are far from interesting and challanging, once maybe they were but not now.

[Megaguns]

i say U2, Hopefully to be soon replaced by Guns N Roses before the years end.   

[Danny Top Hat]

The biggest band around is U2.

The best band around is Muse.
