[MrBrownstonee]

what? nevermind brought the rock back? are you insane? do you know anything about rock history? nirvana killed rock! Many great rock bands stoped making records because of that grunge sh*t because they wanted to wait till the grunge die and then they ended up braking up.
anyway, I don't have any top 5 chart I'm just happy listening to the best rock album ever, apettite for destruction, the other gnr records, u2, aerosmith, acdc...real rock bands.

ps: and by the way, I consider pearl jam a million times better than nirvana. ten is one of my favourites records

Robben Ford-Handfull of blues ( Robben reinvents the way blues should be played, you don't have to be a blues lover to enjoy this one )

Jimmy Bruno-Sleight of Hand (the master of be-bop guitar, he's got more tricks up his sleeve then VanHalen)

Jimi Hendrix-Any studio album ( not only was he a master guitar player but the Sh*t he recorded on a 8 track recorder was amazing, the reason I picked up the guitar, Thank you Jimi !!)

Van Halen- Fair Warning (it rocks, Eddie & Dave just work magic together)

Indigenous- my favorite new band, alot of history in his playin

Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon (this album couldn't be more perfect, it really flows, creative mastery)

Yo tele master, what do you think about videio Let´s Spend The Night Together by Stones. I think it´s amazing. But I miss Angie.

[stratman42]

NO band "sucks". Its down to your personal preference whether you like the music and whether you even consider it to be music, but dont state your opinions as if they're facts. It can come across as arrogant and can get people irritated, offended and angry. I've been on this forum for a bit, and the best threads in my opinion don't have statements such as yours in, they have meaningful intelligent debates. If any band, no matter how simple their music is, has managed to make the music work and become a success, they don't suck, by any means. After all, it's what we're all aiming for, isn't it? Hope i haven't offended you or anything, i just thought i'd point out a possible problem. And for the record, i don't like Nirvana that much either.
