the best rock band (i'm gonna assume we're talking on a basic rock grnre thing here...) technically ha got to be dream theater, i mean, besides their singer, they have got to be the most jam packed with talent band o all time, john petrucci, john myung, mike portnoy, and jordan rudees? c'mon, name a band with more technical flawlessness...
that being said, if ya wanna go on the whole essence of a band hing, thing there is no clear winner, but i'd vote for metallica or the beatles anyday.
check me out!!

Rolling Stones, amazing music and still going in their 60's. I saw them in concert a year or two ago; Amazing.

Queen, Freddie Mercury won't ever be matched.

It's because he over does it from time to time.

Urgh, Dream Theatre :( ... technically flawless, yes, but I personally find them a bit dry. Their music, while dazzling, is overwrought and unemotional - and they tend to bang on a bit, being more interested in producing soundscapes than writing songs, so to speak. As far as progressive metal bands go, I prefer Queensryche. Evocative lyrics, intriguing progressions with killer pop-metal hooks, and Chris deGarmo - not as fast as John Petrucci, but about ten times more interesting.

As for the best rock band in the world, my vote goes to Pink Floyd.

My opinion on the best band out there..........Dream Theater. Not my #1 favorite band, but they are just unbelievable in what they can pull off.

dream theater kills it! definatly one of the best. thay can write any style of music and throw it all into one song with going over the top.
as for the best band ever i would have to say THE BEATLES! those guys will never be forgotten because their music is timeless. remember how big it when lennen died!

it doesnt sound to me like you listen to a lot of dream theater :( , becuase the way you described queensryche is exactly how dream theater sounds.also, dream theater is very emotional, and can write long songs without them getting boring. Ive listened to AWAKE for four years now, and it gets more powerfull with each listen.
for fans of DT, check out YES, they rule.

I dunno. Maybe I just prefer Queensryche because I heard them before I heard Dream Theatre (and after all, they were writing prog-metal tours de force when Dream Theatre were still in high school). Also, my tastes in metal lean toward the pop-influenced, rather than the technical - if I want technical skill, I listen to Bach. Dream Theatre are a solid band, though, and I acknowledge their popularity and instrumental prowess.

Ya man! :cool: I was listening to metroplis pt. 1 on the bus yesterday, and it took everything I had not to start jumping around and screaming, don't tell me that's not emotion.

I think the best band is Nirvana, but it's cheapened by the fact that so many idiots like it. You know who you are.

I'm thinking more like people who make polls putting Polly and Smells Like Teen Spirit as the best Nirvana songs...
