Best pop/rock band

[EricW]

LFO

Maybe they don't 'rock' all that hard, but for toe-tapping, head-bobbing, sing-along-in-your-car catchy pop, for my money it's:

The Cure

[durkahdurkah]

Soundgarden
Seven Mary Three
Audioslave
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Days of the New
Godsmack

Foo Fighters is a sweet choice

I love the Cure as well, but expect elD to DQ them

Live
The Tragically Hip (Go Canada!)
The Lowest of the Low (Go Canada! the sequel)

OK, I'm not talking Radiohead or Flaming Lips or Tool or really any band that does anything really creative.

I am talking about rock bands that for the most part just make great, relatively straightforward music that rocks. Bands that put out albums where you can just listen to the whole thing straight through and think, man, that rocked! Bands that put out albums just chock full of great songs that rock.

I'll start.

Foo Fighters.
