Also just because artists do covers to Beatles songs does not mean they owe thier extistance to them.

Yeah, I agree with you. That was never said.

How is it a fact, just because you say does not mean it is.

Its not just because I say it. Anyone who does two minutes of research can see that its true (in fact, I believe you've already been linked to two very good jumping-off points). If you want to continue this, my PM box is open.

[Padrino]

eh, i think i'm bowing out of this thread...

i just realized that i don't really want any of the bands to win...

and i have no idea how ac/dc, a one-trick pony of a butt-rock band, is besting so many truly great/legendary bands...

this list needed radiohead, the pixies, joy division, the velvet underground, et al...

 

[kingsnation]

It's all just in good TDOS fun.

 

[Spike]

That description was hilarious, but to answer your question:

It's the shorts.

 

[Bricklayer]

this list needed radiohead, the pixies, joy division, the velvet underground, et al...

Unfortunately the format of this thread involved bands that substantial numbers of people actually liked to listen to -- I am afraid that AC/DC has sold more albums then all of the above mentioned bands put together, many times over.

heh heh heh heh...heh heh heh heh...

he said "butt"!

Beat me to it. I'm not familiar with the other bands he mentioned to be honest, but I really don't understand why so many people like Radiohead. Creep is a great song, but I've actually forced myself to try and like the rest of their songs and I just couldn't.

In defense of AC/DC, if they were a "one-trick pony", they wouldn't have sold so many records. Yes, they haven't really changed their style, but if they did I'm sure you'd just accuse them of being sell-outs by going away from what made them popular in the first place. Their music certainly isn't for everybody, and I understand that, but there's no denying they're popular.

What the hell did he mean by one trick pony? The style? Holy crap you're telling me a rock band stuck to its roots and kept making music that made them famous and sold millions of records? Wow... a mod needs to take them off the list. Criminal. They'll be allowed back when they make a country album.
