Best pop/rock band

[El Diablo]

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.

[Q8offsuit]

Pre-1980 Aerosmith

[miajag]

Green Day pre-Nimrod.

[kipin]

Creed, Staind, Limp Bizkit

[Aloysius]

Pearl Jam

-Al

[Stagger_Lee]

Silverchair

[kurosh]

RHCP

[El Diablo]

mia: Green Day was my second choice, though I haven't given this extensive thought.

Al: PJ is one of my favorites, but they've made too much out-there music to be a contender here.

[Ghazban]

Def Leppard

[El Diablo]

kurosh,

RHCP pretty good choice, though their early stuff (a lot of which was great) keeps them from being a top contender here because it was too funky.
