The Greatest Band in the World

Is Tenacious D. :cool:

[Fred D]

If that's Jack Black, he's headed in the wrong direction. He was ok in High Fidelity, but since then over exposure.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night!

[pjm]

Freaky, man. As I'm reading this thread, the station I'm listening to, WRPI, plays a Ramones track. :cool:

How'd you do that Dave?

[jthurow]

ti_boi, If you like TD, any thoughts on Flight of the Conchords? They make me laugh...

Alexi... nice grouping. I've been dying to check out Boris (I dig chicks w/ big guitars)... Any recommendations on places to start listening?

...sheesh! ;)


p.s. I love "School of Rock". Great movie, and not just because of Jack Black. But one scene drives me crazy. Two of the kids are discussing great female drummers: "I'm just saying, name two great chick drummers." "Sheila E? Meg White from the White Stripes?" Jeepers Cripes! Maureen Tucker!! Janet Weiss!!! Anyway... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbxRu7fwR24 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QDnkcktEm8.

p.p.s. How could I forget Public Enemy?!? Thanks Alexi!

To me, Sacha White and Jack Black look like cousins.

[avalonracing]

This is quite a fun game of "Who in the hell are they?" Some are pretty easy but others? Then again, I don't know if their families would recognize them (they probably haven't seen them since they dropped out of high school... To rock)

I will say that most of them look like they have taken a few beat-downs in their day. Skinny little punks. They make bike racers look tough.

Tenacious D and Roxy Music couldn't be more different but they do both rule.

[72gmc]

Henry Rollins in the mesh tee is great. I don't think I would endorse a mesh tee on anyone else, at least not anyone male.

i used to work with janet in an ad agency in portland. one day she said she was leaving to try and make her music work.

a few months later there was a full page article on the band in rolling stone. i believe they named one of their albums in the top 100 of last century.

a great chick who chased her dream.

[navclbiker]

They are still touring this Summer!

[Erik.Lazdins]

The band Sting put together post-Police had Kenny Kirkland, Omar Hakim, Branford Marsalis, and Darryl Jones when Omar left I believe Manu Katche, then Vinnie 'the monster' Colaiuta played drums.

I saw them live in 1987 - they were tight to say the least.

...

but then I saw Spinal Tap was already listed - sonofcrap! none of Sting's bandmates ever spontaneously combusted! :) :) :beer: :beer:

[Climb01742]

for me, the ramones will always be tops, having seen them in the day at cbgb's and being an old fart who was in the city during the late 70s so i'm biased, but to add a band to the mix...

[97CSI]

Rolling Stones, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac (early). All since then are simply posers.

[Erik.Lazdins]

Lots of great bands this is one of them.

[Fixed]

Miles & 'Trane - Kind Of Blue period (1955-1961)
that was the geatest jazz group of all time
imho cheers

I'd have to go with Charlie Parker, Dizzy, and Max Roach or Kenny Clarke. Or Lester Young with Basie myself.

bro I not in to rock but some cats like this
The Velvet Underground was an American rock band first active from 1965 to 1970 (and 1970 to 1973 in a different incarnation). Its best-known members were Lou Reed and John Cale. Although never commercially successful while together, the Velvet Underground are often cited by critics as one of the most important and influential groups of their era.[1] A famous remark, often attributed to British musician Brian Eno, is that while only a few thousand people bought the first Velvet Underground record upon its release, almost every single one of them was inspired to start a band

yeah bro bird and dizz = great too
i like what evans did to miles 's sound
cheers

Posing...is a key element to rock and roll.

The theater aspect is completely essential to creating the myth.

I love The Stones, but compare them to the guys to whom they appropriated their early music from....and they 'pale' in comparison.

Ever heard Nico 'carry a tune'? ;)

Speaking of that, do you know that Scorcese tried to leave the Muddy Waters clip of Mannish Boy out of the Last Waltz! The most real thing in the movie.

One good thing about the Stones, they always knew they were posers and took the real thing as opening acts on tour with them.

Sorry, forgot Bud Powell with Bird and Diz. How could I forget him!

The TEMPTATIONS / SMOKEY ROBINSON & THE MIRACLES.
Not really bands but they had the greatest Motown musicians backing them with some of the best and most memorable starting licks ever.
"My Girl"...."Tracks of My Tears" .... bring back such good memories of my college days.

There's no mistaking the lovely Rachel Goswell. That is indeed Slowdive.

And My Bloody Valentine have come out of retirement. With them, Verve and Swervedriver getting back together, it's like 1992 all over again :)
