I can't believe no mention of Lynyrd Skynyrd until now.

[El Diablo]

Skynyrd, Journey, Who, couple other late mentions are good.

I don't know about the yardbirds. They were sort of out there yet really poppy at the same time.

JB and others: Yeah, AC/DC slightly on the harder side of qualifying for this thread, but a good pick.

wtf, AC/DC is a LOCK. It's the first thing that came to mind. They consistently rock.

Also, you have a huge boner for the Foo Fighters

El D,

'Best' is a tough category. For 'Musically Proficient', it's fairly easy:

Hard Rock: Alice in Chains

Rock/Pop (?): Stone Temple Pilots

Punk: Greenday

1975-1980: Aerosmith

Obviously all the 'style' bands of the 80's like G&R, AC/DC, etc. are nominees, but I personally rate The Scorpions much higher than any of those when it comes to musical talent. Clearly a sleeper but those Germans really do know how to rock. Buy their 'best of' album if you don't believe me.

Blind Melon: If God needed a singing voice...

Third Eye Blind: Highly talented and vastly under-appreciated. Every song is good.

Killers: Love every single song in their catalog

Jimmy Eat World: Even their old [censored] is good.

other nominations: weezer, metallica, the doors, all-american rejects (GOING TO SEE THEM IN VEGAS TOMORROW!!)....

[Dr. Feelgood]

Pink Floyd
