I hung out with nothing but hippies in college. I heard Grateful Dead bootlegs until my ears bled. I like a lot of jam bands, I love live shows and improvisation and cool solos that go on forever. But I never liked the Dead... they bore me. And they don't really have any GREAT songs, just a bunch of decent sounding jams... I'll take Neil Young & the original Crazy Horse from the 60s doing a 20 minute Cowgirl in the Sand over anything the Dead ever did. Or give me the Allman Brothers, hell even the Black Crowes or Phish. There was a great jam band in our region called Ekoostik Hookah, very Dead-inspired. But I liked them better than the Dead.
Rush has a ton of phenomenal songs. I have their 2-disc Gold compilation and every song on there is a knockout.
For a long time man i've read your posts and I really agree with your music. Must be the only person who talks about Black Crowes around here! Soul Singing is such a great song too! Can't wait to see them again in May
Thanks! I snagged this name years ago. I didn't know they had a tour lined up again though? I heard they were going to record new material live at some point in the near future, but nothing specific. Warpaint is enough to hold me over until then! I got to see one of those preview shows where they played the whole album in order
At long last, this place seems to be getting it's vibe back... I mention Rush and then diss the Dead and suddenly it's on! I love it.

oh yeah, Black Crowes have jammed many times with the Zepplins
Guess its hard to understand what great means in this context?
Who is technically best?
Who is most influential?
Who changed the world?
I guess all 3 would fit. This is not my favorite top 5 list (otherwise PJ would be #1), this is a honest across the spectrum of Rock music list.

I LOVE Punk, and you picked two of my fav's, but I'm talking about top 5 ROCK band of ALL TIME....not sure any punk band can stand up to that title (maybe the Clash).

Have you not heard of the Cabin Fever shows? Count me as another person that brings up the Crowes when possible. They are one of my top 5 favorite bands
Rush is great. I find that if you like the hits, about half of their music is pretty catchy. As far as chart success. They have had like 25 consecutive albums debut on the charts. I think Elvis is the only person in the rock world with a longer streak.

Rush and Grateful Dead aren't top 5 bands. As far as jam bands go, the Allman's are the only ones that deserve serious consideration.

Cabin Fever shows? Are those the ones they have slated coming up to record their new album?
I agree that neither Rush nor the Dead is really top 5. I was just saying I think Rush has a better claim than the Dead.
rush c'mon. they are good but would they be in tthe top fifty. They did nothing. limelight tom sawyer. I know it is hard but as a hard core pj fan i don't think there are many other pj fans that have really listened to the grateful dead. Listen to tehm once with a open soul and see what comes out. it won't be Rush
All they've done is Tom Sawyer and Limelight? 2 songs from the same album?
Interesting.
Ignore the fact that they have the record for 2nd most consecutive gold albums.
Ignore the fact that each member has won "best instrumentalist" for their respective instrument at some point
Ignore the fact that they have had the same lineup for 35 years and are still not going through the motions
Ignore the other big radio songs you conveniently left off your list: Subdivisions, Freewill, The Trees, The Spirit Of Radio, Dreamline, Big Money, New World Man, A Passage To Bangkok, Fly By Night, Working Man, Closer To The Heart, Red Barchetta.
Ignore the fact that almost every hard rock, metal and prog band in the past 25 years lists them as an influence, including Metallica, Dream Theater, Smashing Pumpkins and Pantera.
But all that stuff isn't important, right?

ok if this is just pure rock, i'd say maybe the clash or even green day
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
Rush is a great band (I loved them when I was 16 and Time Stands Still is still my favorite Rush song)...but they are not top 5 material and even though Black Sabbeth is the greatest Metal band of all time, they are not top 5 Rock band material.
And metsfan, I really gotta say I disagree with Green Day being on any top 5 band last. Unless that list was pop punk.

That's fine, but I was replying to the guy who said Rush was only known for 2 songs and that was all they had in their repertoire.

I would probably put Nirvana in the top ten. Influence alone gets them that title.
Led Zep
The Who
Hendrix
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Pearl Jam
Metallica
Radiohead
Allman Bros.
Beach Boys
There's 10 that are more important than Nirvana.
I'm no Nirvana partisan, but no way has PJ been more important than Nirvana. Ditto for the Allman Brothers, much as I love them. I'd even express reservations about the Beach Boys.

I'm gonna say no to Radiohead. OK Computer is great but it's no Nevermind.
Beach Boys??? Hahaha.....good one.
I hate making claims like this here, but Nirvana is far more significant culturally. Flame on.

The Allman's invented a genre of music, along with spearheading a whole other movement, the jam bands. They were the most technically sound band of the day.
Ed is the most imitated vocalist since Robert Plant. PJ is the most sucessful of the early 90's bands. While PJ can't match the initial onslaught that was Teen Spirit, they had a longer lasting impact in what was popular. And Nirvana didn't open the flood gates. They leaned up against somethin that was about to break already. Plus they had about run their course.
Beach Boys were the first great american rock band.
I guess I just don't hear the overwhelming influence of Nirvana's music. It was always more about the way people went about making music, imo. Whether they looked at the charts and let that sway them or if they just said fuck it and wrote what they wanted.
How many crappy singers have been mentioned on this board b/c they are obviously rippin Ed?
Cultural significance has nothin to do with what makes a great band.
good point about them leaning up against something that was about to break...Who will ever be able to say what would have been with nirvana....that in my opinion is why it is so hard to put them in the top 5 even top 10. Great band and very influetial but too short of a lifespan

There are just as many who wish they were Kurt. Including my best friend. Pearl Jam is very influential no doubt, but not to the same scale as Nirvana.

Ok, well PJ is full of better musicians, written more and better albums, and is one of the greatest live bands of all time. That would put them above Nirvana.
The only singer I have heard blatantly rip Cobain off is the guy from Seether. I'm no expert on Kurt's influence but didn't he basically steal somebody else's singing style?
