Queen for me. What's eveyone else think?
Creedence, the Kinks or the Beatles, can't decide which
By old bands i take it ya mean from the 60s/70s era?
My Top 5 would be:
1. The Doors
2. The Rolling Stones
3. Led Zepplin
4. The Kinks
5. The Who
The Beatles
The Kinks
Thin Lizzy
Thin Lizzy, Led Zepplin
The best bands are the old punk bands like The Clash and my brudders the Ramones and English sixties bands like the Beatles, The Who and The Kinks.
Two words: Parliament-Funkadelic.
Class act all the way.
These days I find I've given up entirely on the honkies of today and have taken refuge in the classic reggae of the 70s, which probably qualifies as "old" to most of you: U Roy, Culture, Sly & Robbie, King Tubby, Lee Scratch Perry, Augustus Pablo, Dennis Brown, even the odd spot of Prince Far I if I'm feeling particularly apocalyptic. White mon cyaan dance.
Thin Lizzy
I don't really know what constitutes an old band - is it a band made up of old people or a band that were around years ago.
Presuming its the later I'll go with the Stones. If its the former there's a great jazz band here in Galway made up of old men and they get the nod.
Wouldnt' the stones fit either one of those criteria?Quote:

A lot of Motown and Stax artists. 60's Ska. Captain Beefheart. The Fall have been around the block. KraftWerk. Marvin Gaye.
What exactly is the criteria? The Specials were a '70s band. Are Pulp an old band? It's a bit vague. I'm sure to some people the Stone Roses are an old band. The Wedding Present are hitting 20 years; that's surely old in band years. Even Belle & Sebastian are getting on a bit.
the beach boys, beatles and the who...
The Electric Prunes,NEU,and Tommy McCrook & the Supersonics.
The Who, Small Faces, Led Zeplin & Lynard Skynard
What do you define as old?
The Creation
The Jam
Small Faces
The Who (Early stuff)
Spencer Davis Group
Beatles (Rubber Soul onwards)
Dexys Midnight Runners
The Style Council
Pink Floyd, the best ever IMO
beatles , kinks , stones , troggs , searchers , monkees , dylan and elvis presley the king of rock and roll.
Piper at the gates of dawn is one of my fav albums. After that its hit and miss.Quote:

And obviouosly Poison and WHitesnake!!! :D
Here he goes again on his own...:rolleyes:
:D
Cynic.
Not sure 1987-94 counts as old, but it's old enough to be mentioned I'm sure! :)
Then again, if they're young enough to be reuniting, maybe its not old enough!
And, Atheist. Godlike!
Anyone fancying a bit of ska style nostalgia needs to get down to The Gaiety on Saturday night for Special Brew - a ska tribute.
Songs from Madness, The Specials, The Beat and even a few Clash and Jam thrown in for good measure.
I think they played at a one of our title celebration gigs or a post cup final gig - marquee at Dalyer. Any Bohs fans remember?
aacci-dacci, motley crue, iron maiden, wasp, poison all that good stuff.
recently returned from a trip from america, where they call all of the above "bar music" ah if only people had the same taste back home....
I have a friedn who listens to most of those bands so you're not alone there.Quote:

Dire Straits, Genesis.
Motely Crue and Poison you serious? Bar music is a fitting name alright as in it should be barred from every musci playing device. Thank god people here don't have the same tastes.Quote:

poison are **** rock/arena rock/**** rock, its a good laugh, just like motley crue, if you are out for a good night a few beers, something to certainly get you going is "girls, girls, girls"

So we'll just agree to disagree
*shakes head in disgust at some of the above bands*
Was reared on Johnny Cash, Don Williams, Bob Dylan, Beatles & Stones so they would be my kinda old stuff....if we are talking 80's Marley,FYC & Madness would have been my bands of choice.
Incidently my kids are named Dylan Robert and Jacob Marley after some of my fav musicians
Good call on FYC. In a 'rock family tree' kind of way, are you a fan of the Beat?
Marley (Bob, I presume) was dead for about 90% of the 80s.
Were you a fan of Jacob's Mouse?
Well I only got into Bob in the 80's when was bout 10 yrs old...back then i listened to what my older brother was listenting to or my parents....Quote:

Turns out tho that Bob Dylan's son is called Jacob Dylan.
Wasnt really into the beat....fell in love with Roland Gift when in FYC & then progressed to being his stalker....ooops.
