    I'm interested in what you guys think of music.

    What is your favourite band?

    Mine's MUSE (check avatar). They tell an episode of my life in every music they play. Besides, he has a voice that, scientifically, is impossible to exist. And they play well, too.

    Beatles are likely the mous innovative, and revolutionary band in 'band" history. For this, they should hold the title.

    How is it that the Muse frontman's voice is "scientifically impossible"...?

    How can you have a poll for the greatest band ever? Thats like "what's your favorite sports team of all time" and list like 7 choices.

    And you included The Strokes and Coldplay in the "best band ever" poll?

    ACDC... after that comes Depeche Mode and then Billy Idol and Muse. I don“t like the Beatles but the Stones rock.

    Well, as far as my music, bands and it that surrounds it goes, I'm very inspired by Iron Maiden and heck, I'm far from being the only one! That's what I call a HUGE band, I mean, those dudes don't seem to get older. One may argue that the "Number of the Beast" perfection might be lost but I disagree, those guys grew up, became more mature and kept the same quality and vigor of 25 years ago!

    You don't learn to become a musician like Murray or Harris in music school, it takes heart, passion, dedication and commitment to what you believe in. Back at the 70's everyone wanted them to become a punk band because of the punk invasion but did they accept it? Did they give up? No they didn't! They loved heavy metal and heavy metal was what they wanted to play, so they believed in themselves, they pressed foward and eventually they won.

    Today, look at them. They're heavy metal legends and no band can honestly say they didn't take some inspiration from Maiden. Even after 30 years of Maiden they don't seem to have slowed down a bit, they still show the vigour and passion from the Soundhouse Tapes days. And they even got better and more perfecionist. Just look at their latest work, "A Matter Of Life And Death", it's an almost spotless record, every song plays awsome both at your sound system and live, the tempos and almost almost perfect (ok, Nicko the drummer did miss once or twice, but that's surely some of the best technicall work I've listen to) and Dickinson "new" mature voice fits the new songs like a glove.

    They don't need the money, the past records still sell preety nice and they could do like Sabbath: tour and release best off's (no offence to Sabbath fans, great bad with awfull manager). Maiden is all about passion for music and enjoying what they do, that's why it sounds so perfect, that band is in a spiritual chain of coordination that takes years and years to build, believe me, I know what I'm saying. It takes alot to be in the same level as Maiden.

    Now, I'm not saying we should all worship Maiden, obviously their music can please everyone in the world, and I wouldn't be arrogant to the point of calling them the best band ever (to me, such thing doesn't exist as the best band ever would have to please every music fan in the world, and that's impossible). Im just saying that, as a musician, Iron Maiden, as a band and as a group of musicians and as music makers, is a huge inspiration for me and for my music.

    MAIDEN FOREVER!!

    Well, I never heard to The Strokes, but I hear people talk a lot about them...
    And what's wrong about Coldplay? It's a calm inspirating focusing music.

    Of course, you can post here any band you like, even if it isn't on the Poll.

    Thanks for posting, come again! (Apu accent)

    I demand that you put Metallica on the poll. how can you put a dinky little group like muse on the poll but forget giants like the mighty metallica? and you forgot other giants, like RATM, pink floyd, led zeppelin, deep purple, ac/dc and many others.

    Ouch... this question is impossible to answer in a poll.

    It'd probably be Smashing Pumpkins... but coming up close behind, there's bands like Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Soundgarden etc...etc......etc

    Id hardly call them dinky. They sold 77,000 tickets for a gig at the new Wembley Stadium in under 14 minutes. And you'd be hard pressed to find a better live band.

    muse are dinky when compared to real great bands. metallica, for example, made a concert with 1 million men in moscow, and their live shows are much more powerful. nirvana is another band with better live shows, and i can think of many more who are better than muse.
    my point is that you forgot to put most of the realy big bands in the poll.

    Guns & Roses was a great live show as well.

    When you could actually get Axl to perform.
