It's impossible to pick only one band/act.. all of these were great
Beatles Rolling Stones The Kinks The Who David Bowie Nirvana Radiohead Led Zep The Clash Buddy Holly The Doors Pink Floyd Stone Roses |
|
By:
The list above seems pretty fair. But i would swap the top 2 just because of The Rolling Stones longevity. They still had a decent album in 1981 eighteen years after their 1st.

QUEEN. Fact.

By:
Three former Beatles had great solo careers as well. I know it's not the same as the Beatles, but it confirms their talent. That's what swings it towards the Beatles for me.

By:
ive no problem with the beatles being top of any list, but i dont agree that 3 of them had great solo careers
|

By:
How can you disagree with a fact?
|
|
By:
if u mean great, in terms of success, you have a point. but they could have sold anything as solo artists just because they were Beatles
its a generally accepted point that their solo work was middling/mediocre, certainly compared to what they did as a group |
|
By:
Granted some of Paul's work was cheesy, but John's and George's solo work was critically acclaimed and both have some classics to their name. "Imagine" is number one on a lot of peoples 'best song of all time' lists and "My Sweet Lord" isn't far behind either.

Chuck Berry. When they did back to the future (and remember they had access to time machines) and had any tune to chose for Marty to play, they didn't chose Oa-bl00dy-asis.
They chose old Chuck. And a little Van Halen. Would have a very different film with them droning out "wonderwall" I can tell you. |

i forgot half of you lot were in your 40's. Oasis changed music, what have these p!ss poor bands done that you lot keep quoting
|

By:
Oasis changed music. Oh really. Who changed music more I wonder - Oasis (tedious cover band) or Chuck Berry, one of the inventors of rock'n'roll.
The clue is in "inventor of rock and roll". |

By:
Chuck Berry better than Oasis, ha ha ha ha ha
 That has cheered me up no end |

When i was growing up there were no bands, it was all house music. Stone Roses took 5 years to make their second album and then Oasis came about. 5 lads from fook all to everything. It made it seem like anyone could achieve there dreams. 70 million records sold. Knebworth, frightening and i love them

beatles
stones new order smiths roses u2 clash who just a few favs from off the top of my head |
|
By:
I know who Noel G has got his inspiration from. It does't make you a better band because you were the first lads to pick up a guitar. Don't talk rubbish
|

|

|
|
By:
i like a lot of american stuff as well but solo artists mostly
|
|
By:
I like all sorts of sh!t, i guess maybe its the era your from. In my opinion absolutely nothing beats this. People can not like Oasis, thats fine but to say they were average is a joke and a very uneducated comment

Pink Floyd the best band but maybe not 'Rock & Roll' enough
|
|
By:
i was a big Oasis fan too, back in the day. all my friends were into them, i preferred them to Blur who were their rivals at the time, but they sold way more records than Blur did
but the third album, which their was so much hype about, was a big disappointment. Noel admitted as much, said a while later that they were doing too much coke and the quality-control had gone it was the last Oasis album i bought. i ve liked the odd single they put out since. they ll always have the first two albums which were very very good |
|
By:
Fair enough freddie, we all like who we like, no point arguing about it. I liked Be Here Now and to sunnafy how good Oasis were. The Masterplan which was a B Side album is better than 90% of other albums ever made and it was a collection of B Sides. How many average bands sell 70 million records duncan?

U2.
Selling out stadiums the world over for 30 years. Some of the acts above wouldn't fill a broom cupboard outside the UK. |
|
By:
Wonder, why nobody mentioned Pearl Jam so far. They´re rocking for 21 years now and still selling out almost every show.
|
|
By:
ACDC are the best band I've ever seen. Absolutely awesome!
|
|
By:
I think one reason Oasis seemed good was because as someone said prior to Oasis it was all mechanical House music. Real people writing songs and playing real instruments seemed quite a novelty and they were good at what they did but hardly revolutionary groundbreaking stuff that changed the history of rock and roll. Just another good band who came and went like so many.

A few Oasis stats
They have had eight UK number-one singles and eight UK number-one albums, and won fifteen NME Awards, nine Q Awards, four MTV Europe Music Awards and six Brit Awards, including one in 2007 for outstanding contribution to music and one for the best album of the last 30 years as voted by the BBC Radio 2 listeners; they have been nominated for three Grammy Awards. As of 2009, the band have sold an estimated 70 million records worldwide.[1] Also the band was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2010 for “Longest Top 10 UK Chart Run By A Group” after an unprecedented run of 22 top 10 hits in the UK.[2] The band also holds the Guinness World Record for being the most successful act in the UK between the years 1995 and 2005, spending 765 weeks in the Top 75 singles and albums charts. As their career reached its zenith, Oasis performed back-to-back concerts at Knebworth on 10 August and 11 August. The band sold out both shows within minutes. The audience of 250,000 people over two nights (2.5 million people applied for tickets, and 375,000 were actually sold, meaning the possibility of 53 sold out nights),[32] was at the time a record-breaking number for an outdoor concert held in the UK, and to this day the largest demand for a show in British history. By the end of the first day of release, Be Here Now sold over 350,000 units and by the end of business on Saturday of that week sales had reached 696,000, making it the fastest-selling album in British history. Many bands and artists have cited Oasis as an influence or inspiration, including The Killers,[108] Arctic Monkeys,[109] The Enemy, Lily Allen, Maroon 5, Coldplay,[110] The Strokes, The Coral,[111] Ryan Adams, The Kooks,[112] The Rifles,[113] The Pigeon Detectives,[114] and Kasabian Boo fooking hoo |
