I choose Radiohead...

 

They have definitely changed the sound of music and are genuinely in a class of their own. You'll never hear a radiohead album that 'sounds' familiar. They always come thru with a 'new' sound.. and Thom Yorke's writing is incredible. His words are like painted passages thru some melancholy dream. I love'em!

 

So, yeah.. thats why I voted Radiohead.. :cool:

After Beatles, i think Stones influenced a looot of bands, most of them included in this list... so, my vote is to Rolling Stones.

 

but....................joy division, radiohead, nirvana and REM deserve my respect forever too. acctually, i like most these bands than stones, but .......

I voted OASIS

REM

what happened to Coldplay?? :huh:

:stunned: why am I the only one who sees the genius in Thom Yorke?? :embarrased:

Freddy Mercury beats Thom Yorke hands down :smug:

Thom has better hair... surely you can appreciate that! :P

Oh!! so who is the other brave soul who voted Radiohead.. I want to shake their hand.. :wink3:

I chose Jimi Hendrix. :cool4:

Led Zeppelin! They shaped rock as we know it! And the riffs! :stunned: Crazy! :dizzy2:

i'm not really a big stones fan but most of the bands i listen to and love today wouldnt be around now if it weren't for the rolling stones. the stones changed music forever and are the greatest rock band of alltime according to many. many people. they belong in here much more than madonna, elvis, u2, or marley

Radiohead Rules!!! =)

i still dont understand why Queen has 23% :dozey:

23% is 4/17 (4 voted for queen, 17 votes in total)
