FYI: Link to the first round of 16 (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=2796758&page=11&view=coll apsed&sb=5&o=14&fpart=1)

Nirvana. My favorite OAT so i'm happy so far.

[pryor15]

this is the only round that's made any sense whatsoever. that being said, this is a horrible final 2.

[Jack of Arcades]

Ugh.

Nirvana.

[Daliman]

How the Doors got this far is beyond me. TOTALLY overrated.

[arod4276]

you fuckers who voted van trailer trash over Eagles should be shoot..arod4276

[damaniac]

The lineup in this tournament will give you some idea of how much the British contributed to rock and roll (and how crappy American rock and roll is/was). Has anyone done a best of the UK poll yet?

[Soul Daddy]

Am I going to have to create gimmick accounts to ensure that the [censored] Doors don't take home this title? Ugh. Not that Nirvana should either, but The Doors?

When's the Brit poll? Maybe Herman's Hermits will make the top two.

Multi-Round Polls Suck.

What a sad ending to a poll that had so much potential...

[pudley4]

Well, at least we won't have to bother with the poll "Most overrated rock group of all time"

[lucas9000]

[PooperGuy]

The Doors > Nirvana

[spliff]

Iggy Pop and the Stooges - or - Television

[goodguy_1]

Both of those are top 20 but no way either of them are numero uno. My top ten would include the Allman Brothers, The Byrds,Velvet Underground/Lou Reed,the Grateful Dead, The Beach Boys,the doors,Bob Dylan/The Band,Neil Young & Crazy Horse(yea he's canadian),The Ramones,Talking Heads, the Minutemen.Other great bands are Lynyrd Skynyrd,AeroSmith,Bruce Sprinsteen E-Street Band,Red Hot Chili Peppers,Jefferson Airplane,Credence Clearwater Revival,Moody Blues,Replacements, Patty Smith, HuskerDu,X, The Pretenders,MinorThreat,Dream Syndicate,Stooges,Television,REM.
Nirvana and other great melodic punk bands like GreenDay,Bad Religion, MIA etc would not have been possible w/o the Beach Boys and the Ramones.

My top 3 are the Grateful Dead,The Allman Brothers and Neil Young& Crazy Horse.

[spliff]

I stand corrected - not sure about GreenDay though /images/graemlins/smile.gif

this is incorrect.

[Brock Landers]

Wow, this poll really put things into perspective. It's amazing how much better the Brittish rock bands are. The Who, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and the Beatles would demolish any of our best.

Notice: this in no way makes up for us ass-raping the redcoats a couple hundred years ago.

[JaBlue]

i dont know who the greatest rock band is

but it is most certainly not either of these two

[SaintAces]

how aren't the Eagles there?

I don't agree; surely bands as Velvet Underground, Beach Boys, Pixies, Talking Heads (with help from british Brian Eno), Niel Young (with Friends) and so on, are not demolished by the greatest british bands.

To the UK bigs you could add bands as, Roxy Music, The Fall, David Bowie (not really a band - but has to be recognized as a massive rock artist), Cure, Blur and the good old Rolling Stones.

But where would they be without the jazz, blues, be-bop, and rock revolution from US 1920-1970 ?

Both US and UK has massive bands. US was there first; but mayby UK is a slight better (or more diversified) i don't know.

Anyway Canada/Australia blows big time (also) in that cultural area compared to US and UK (Nick Cave and the bad seeds, as only exception as far as i see).

The Eagles were beaten in the second round, much to my chagrin.

I think this poll proves that

1. America just doesn't produce much in the way of classic rock bands (The Doors and The Eagles are two notable exceptions).

2. The vast majority of OOT'ers are 16-24.

3. The vast majority of OOT'ers have no taste in music.

Correct on all three. I'd add to #1: America probably dominates more in the solo artist category, and in other rock-related genres like Blues, Folk/Rock, Jazz Fusion, Country-ish Rock. But then that isn't as rockin'. Ah fook, might as well move to bloody England.

Yup. I'm surprised no one's doing a "Greatest American Solo Artist" yet.
