If the Original Line-up of Van Halen (minus the crappy bass player) goes on tour, which is in talks, it'd be pretty huge.
You beat me to the post. Van Halen with David Lee Roth and the other three........Just kidding. The origininal Van Halen would make the most $$$ in 2007.Quote:

Coldplay owe their ass to these bands:-
Stone Roses -I wanna be adored (manchester's finest)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-ZPJwuH_E_k
Depeche Mode still sell out huge venues.
'Enjoy the silence' is still a top tune.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=oSfxyG8LY2I
They kept it real - dave the singer was having tattoo's removed....to have new ones in their place and was shooting smack into his eye last i heard.
Echo & the bunnymen 'killing moon'
http://youtube.com/watch?v=7GSdAAHwl78
The Cure - A forest
http://youtube.com/watch?v=1QGPlcSdMxc
Led Zeppelin
The Beatles
Eagles
Rolling Stones
Queen
Kiss
ACDC
and I also love 90's rock bands
Not taking anything away from Elvis because when you see and listen to him it is always a great act.
When you listen to Roy Orbison its no act you hear his soul comming out.
Im with every one of them Lyle,great list!Quote:

led zep
rolling stones
u2
Some bands from the 80's seem to get lost int he mix when in actuality they were VERY good
Robert Palmer solo or with Power Station
Huey Lewis and The News
The Cars
The Police
Human League
Foreigner
Lionel Ritchie either with The Comadors or solo
Kenny Loggins
Dire Straights....Mark Knoffler is a genius!!!
B 52's
ZZ Top
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
Eurythmics
The Pointer Sisters....they rocked the house I don't care who you are they were good
....and of course
DURAN DURAN
u guys hear MJ is planning a comeback and gonna head line a vegas casino??????
i aint gonna even front shiiiiiiiit im copping front row seats! O0
Biggest Bands in History hmmmmm
def gots to go with BEATLES, but i gotta keep it REAL didnt like NSYNC set the record with like most albums bought like in the first day or some shiiiiiiiit with their No Strings Attached album when they were in their prime???????
they sold like 2million albums in the first day or some insane BS like that?????
No one said The Grateful Dead. On VH1 it said that they have performed in front of more people than any other band ever and they only had 1 top ten hit.
Also Allman Brothers Band. I think it was time magazine (or some other magazine...maybe rolling stone) had top 100 guitarists of all time. The ABB had three of them.
At one time Fleetwood Mac was incredibly popular. It was said that when you bought a home in the suburbs you were given a Fleetwood album. ha ha.
I cant stand DEAD HEADS man that shiiiiit is so wack. hairy armpits on chicks dressed in like dudes clothes no make up or showers for weeks. smelling like assss?Quote:

U2
Beatles
Rolling Stones
I like the Dead's stuff....you know Ann Coulter is a Dead Head??? How fucking ironic is that?Quote:

The Allman Brothers Band has a following much like that of the Dead but Duane Allman was a bad ass guitar player....he and Eric Clapton formed Derek and The Dominoes which was an AWESOME group too bad Duane died so soon.
I DESPISE FLEETWOOD MAC! I mean I hate my fair share of bands, Nickleback, Crossfade, Evanesence but I just HATE everything about Fleetwood Mac especially Stevie Nix
Lyle I think we share alot of the same musical tastes..... however before the band got Stevie Nix....Fleetwood Mac was a kick ass mostly blues band. You should check out there really early stuff. I think you will like it.
I like Lindsey Buckingham's "Holiday Road" the song he did for National Lampoon's Vacation.
I just don't like FleetwoodMac...I can't handle it
I find it strange, seeing theyve got 2 of the selling top 20 Albums ever in the States that Deff Leppard havnt had a mention plus Ive never heard them but they are great because theyre BLADES
