Personally, I would have to go with Bill Haley and the Comets, for starting Rock n Roll

. Oh, and the reason why I don't make a poll for this one is because there are to many to name.

I've been really into Jefferson Airplane lately.And ditto about Led Zeppelin. Alkaline trio is also very good.

What do you have against "Rock around the CLock Tonight"? Besides, it was tie between them and AC/DC for me, do I went with the one who started it all.

theres is nothing wrong with them, and i do like them

its just i wouldnt consider them greatest alltime,

but then again, im one of the few who would consider rush the greatest all time too

Nirvana. Though it's extremely difficult to single out one band.

There is a lot of good music out there, and I don't think it's possible to single out one person/group.

I kinda hate how everyone bags on rappers. Sure they dont actually play the instruments, but SOME of them are quite talented lyricists.

I don't know. If we're talking influence the Beatles and Beethoven are up there, but strictly music, hmmm, probably Nirvana, though I really think we should break this up into categories. Otherwise you might just say, "who is your favorite band?"

My nomination goes to Led Zeppelin. Over the Hills and Far Away being the best song ever in existence.

edit- but Bill Haley is definitely in my top 20! Rock around the clock baby!

double edit- Oh man, and AC/DC is up there too. You have excellent taste Mr. Thaiguy,

95% of them don't write their own lyrics.
