3. Rolling Stones - Great Rock band. Must be played at maximum volume.

Well, seeing as it's the greatest bands of ALL TIME it's strange that there are none featured from more than five years ago. Did they not have music back then?

Why is this part1 by the way?

I know I shouldn't do this as everybody is entitled to their opinion but first, the Ordinary Boys:laugh2: Second, the Ramones BEHIND the Ordinary Boys:laugh2:

[Lauren]

Why is no-one voting Metallica or Muse?

(I can understand why they aren't voting the rest of my choices :sad: LOL)

[Ruth]

Rolling Stones - 10
Led Zep - 8
Red Hot Chili Peppers - 5
Duran Duran - 3
Jamiroquai - 1

Special mentions must go to Pink Floyd, David Bowie and Fun Lovin' Criminals.

[Ruth]

And The Doors - how could I forget them?!? Brilliant group.

[The_Hitman]

1. The Clash
2. The Beatles
3. The Rolling Stones
4. Bob Marley and The Wailers
5. The Libertines (Honorary contemporary representative).

I could have used the 5th spot for Nirvana, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix Experience, The Who, Metallica, The Smiths amongst others but seeing as pop groups such as Blue, Mcfly, the Kooks and Ordinary Boys are involved it's not as if the integrity of the poll is going to be effected.:laugh:

[GiRTh]

Nice one Hitman.

I'd like to give a shout out to the Smiths too and the Stone Roses.

A lot of people think pop music is all about the here-and-now. And you can't really vote for something if you've never heard of it... well you could if you wanted to bluff it.

Anyway...

These are my faves rather than those that I think are objectively the greatest. I'm not sure about the order apart from Pink Floyd at 1.

The 70s was definately the best period for me. Before the pop video and MTV came along in the 1980s (or mid-seventies), which changed things - it became more about the image then than the sound.

1. Pink Floyd
2. Kraftwerk
3. Queen
4. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - He completely revolutionised rock guitar playing.
5. Pet Shop Boys - Probably should be Led Zep, The Beatles or Stones but I'm a fan of their songs and wanted to put something more recent. They have some great songs, with very well written lyrics, which you don't get often in pop.

Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones - should probably be on the list.

Others I like...
REM (Automatic for the People - great album, Fave song - Drive), Blondie, David Bowie (not really part of regular band though), The Eagles, T-Rex, The Kinks, The Beach Boys (Pet Sounds great), The Monkees maybe, The Shadows, ABBA, Depeche Mode, Madness, The Police, The Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, The KLF. I like Jamiroquai and Blur too.

In response to the above posts.

All music is readily available at your local Virgin Megastore,HMV or even try your local library. In my humble opinion, the public shouldn't have to be told what to listen to by Radio1 why don't they seek out music for themselves, then maybe they'd have heard of music revolutionaries like Miles Davis, George Clinton and Sonny Boy Williamson. Feel free at any point to say 'Who?'. The greatest band of ALL TIME should reflect decades of music and not the current Radio 1 play list. Just a thought.

Oh my dear GOD! I don't like any old bands! Well not as much as the new ones! I mean just because the bands some people pick aren't 20 yeard old doesn't mean they aren't a valid choice..please move on!:dance:

I agree. Well with the moving on bit anyway. I was merely defending myself from the two above posters.
