i am having an interim go at "The Eagles". Any idea of the criteria?

Trying to choose one band as 'the best'? You may as well ask which is 'the best album', there can be no conclusive answer. Too much good stuff and too many great bands.

The Eagles? No. They were talented and musically accomplished, no doubt. but their music didn't do a lot for me. I much preferred Joe Walsh's offerings when he pursued his solo career.

Damn! OK, in that case it'll have to be The Velvet Underground.

There's one hugely influential band nobody has mentioned as far as I'm aware. The Moody Blues, who were truly massive in the late sixties, early seventies and did some wonderful stuff. I think people have forgotten how regarded they were.

Ah - missed it. Wrong criteria. According to John (Bass player) they were THE rock&roll bad boys - women, drugs, smashed up hotel rooms - you name it

I aint forgot. The first three {Deram} albums are absolutly fantastic in my eyes..

For me I think the entries so far are 'all the best bands' I can only prioritise in to my musical top list.

Lots of great Seventies bands but for me it has to be between The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Led Zeppelin. Zeppelin win on points.

If i can't have the smiths i'll go probably with the stranglers as all there best work was done by the late 70s or zappa or the doors.

Def Leppard every time for me
