1980's -
Van Halen deserves more than honorable mention. Very influential band.
Why is A-ha on the list? They were a one hit wonder.
Def Leppard should probably be on it. Sold a shit tom of albums.

1990's -
Blues Traveler should be on the list. Spearheaded the jam band scene of the 90's. Have since been ostracized from the scene for the unpardonable sin of having a hit record.

Evil Chris

I know, I noticed A-Ha on there too and laughed. Maybe someone put it in there as a joke.

Honorable mention: Black Sabbath. That's funny.

Do you realize how influential and important Sabbath is? Maybe just as much, or even more than Zeppelin.

But I definitely agree the 90's is great.

Agreed. The Ramones should probably be on the 70's list also.

Kittens

I agree, Nickelback is truly the best band of all time.

Radiohead was big in the 90's but you are crazy if you think they have been dead since 2000. Every album they release goes gold and platinum around the world often with little or no radio support, and they sell out arenas around the world when they tour. They just came to Portland a few weeks ago and played to about 18,000. The show sold out in a matter of minutes.

sarettah

For the 60's you need to add:

Byrds
Yardbirds
Buffalo Springfield
Jefferson Airplane
Mothers of Invention (70'S too)
Fleetwood Mac - Peter Green Era
Traffic

You have the Kinks in the 60's but they need to go into the 70's and 80's too.

You have the Who and the Dead in the 70's but they need to be in the 60's too.

For the 70's you need to add:

CSN&Y
Fleetwood Mac - Nicks, Buckingham Era


Just imho of course.

.

InfoGuy

These should be added:

60's-70's Moody Blues
80's Journey

Agreed that Black Sabbath and Van Halen deserve more than honorable mention.

Ok...but we all know OK Computer was their last good album.

They just don't make songs like this anymore.

I thought Hail to the Thief and Kid A were both great albums.

bronco67

They're not bad. I just feel like the downward slide into self indulgence happened after OK Computer.

Kind of like Smashing Pumpkins during and post Meloncollie and the Infinite Sadness. Once they moved away from the low end, crunchy riffs and got more experimental that was the beginning of the end. Yes, they were around many years but released nothing which could match Gish or Siamese dream as just good, pure rock. It was so sad to watch it happen and I'm still waiting for them to get back to their roots of basically rocking my ass off.

When it comes to radiohead, they got too far away from straightforward song writing and became just plain....weird. There's flashes of that early vibe here and there in the newer stuff, but it's largely inaccessible for me. But I'm not crazy about seeing my favorite bands evolve too much. That's just me.

I was loving the new Metallica album because I feel like they lost their balls with the black album in the early 90's (post And Justice for All), and have been nutless ever since. Hardwired was as close to Kill Em All and Ride the Lightning as I've heard in years, and they could gone ever further with it.

I thought Kid A was more like Ok Computer than it was different from it, but it does signal a departure of sorts for the band. They did get more experimental and just strange odd. I will agree that their newer stuff isn't as good as the older stuff and I sometimes skip a song here or there on the album, but I think they are still a great band, especially live.

I have always loved Metallica. And Justice for All is one of my favorite records. I am one of those people who really liked the black album, but it was different and "softer." Hardwired is fantastic. It is them returning to what they once did and worrying less about writing songs that can get on the radio. I saw them live with Guns N Roses, one of the best concerts I have ever been to.

oppoten

Agree with your top choices for the 19's decades.

2000's is when the decadence and decay set in (deliberately), so there's no right answer. I liked a few Deftones songs though, especially the stripper one

oppoten

correct.

oppoten

Ok so this one was pretty good

oppoten

Last one, I'm done. Have a good night everyone!

I tried listening to Hail to the Thief today after reading this thread. Just as I remember...they're a good, unique band but that strangeness is just not for me. At least the way Radiohead does it.

I'm the same way with The Flaming Lips. Anything accessible and conventional from them is some of my favorite music, but 80% of their work I can do without.

Ever know about band during their era, maybe hear some of their stuff and not think much of it? Then you re-discover and appreciate them years later? I've been loving 90's band Local H lately. Almost 20 years later they're still going.




Goddamn I love this song

Sorry, but this is a Creed, Limp Bizkit and Korn free zone.

I agree 100% about the Flaming Lips. I appreciate that they are out there trying to do something different and unique, but I just don't get it and I'm not a fan of it. I guess Radiohead is my kind of weird where Flaming Lips isn't.

Evil Chris

I like everything you've posted. Another Local H fan here too.

I miss Scott Weiland (for all his faults). I think there was no other front man like him and rates right up there with Freddie Mercury. The STP shows I saw were incredible, and for me they were easily top 5 for the 1990's.
