Re: The 2nd Greatest Band of All Time R1 Group C

This is an easy round for me. Motorhead. You just can't go past Lemmy, and I'm pretty sure they still hold the title for world's loudest band.
 
Re: The 2nd Greatest Band of All Time R1 Group C

If you vote for another band, Lemmy will kill you.
 
Re: The 2nd Greatest Band of All Time R1 Group C

From that list Guns N' Roses for sure. Motorhead are kings but, like Travis said, Lemmy's voice is annoying as hell. He rules on Ace of Spads tho.

Guns N' Roses on the other hand have one of the greatest singers ever and AFD will never be beaten as the best debut album ever, it is almost perfect (take off 2 fillers and it's perfect) and their last album, Chinese Democracy is a piece of art that ubfortunatly some will never like because of the story surrounding it, I think it's one of the best records ever (and has the best solo I've heard in long long time) and because of that Guns N' Roses are my second favourite band.

Aerosmith is pretty cool as well in my books too.

I beg you pardon? Lemmy is annoying and Axl "Cat being held by the tail" Rose is not? I disagree strongly. However, G'n'R are responsible for some truly great music.

Nowadays I don't listen much to any of these bands, but I listened quite a lot to Guns N' Roses when I was getting into hard rock. And despite I am not a great fan of Axl (not his voice and definitely not his personality) I vote for Guns.

I don't even compare Lemmy with Axl. I love Axl voice, in the 80's (specially these years, in the 90's he started to lose some of its power) his voice was powerfull, full of rasp and sounded great in every single record. Live he was (and still is) hit or miss, but in his best years I believe he was one of the best vocalists ever. Nowadays is better than 2002, but not as good as he was once obviously.

Lemmy is a legend and I really like him, but not because of his singing skills. I like both but when talking about singing skills I think it's not even comparable. it's my opinion of course.  :)

I'm not talking about skills, really. I am just no big fan of Axl Rose's voice. Still, I like quite a few Guns N' Roses songs. I have actually not listened that much to Motörhead - at least not as much as I probably should.

When it comes to voice and singing, I prefer a different type of singers - the classic heavy metal type of singers like Bruce, Rob Halford and Geoff Tate. And Dio, of course.

Fair enough, I thought you were comparing skills haha. I like Axl voice a lot, he was actually the main reason I started looking into Guns and hard rock. He has something unique in his voice imo but I agree, he is a different kind of singer when compared to the ones you mentioned. I like all of them, and let me add Jorn Lande to that group  :P
 
Re: The 2nd Greatest Band of All Time R1 Group C

... and Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth). And Ian Gillan. And Robert Plant. And David Coverdale. And ... I'd better stop. There are too many good singers.
 
Re: The 2nd Greatest Band of All Time R1 Group C

True, never looked much into Opeth but I've heard good things about them. I'll try to check out their discography these days.
Better stop with this, we're going offtopic haha.
 
Re: The 2nd Greatest Band of All Time R1 Group C

Motorhead's a legend and Accept was better at their best,
But over a 30-year period Saxon has produced more good songs than any on this list.
 
Re: The 2nd Greatest Band of All Time R1 Group C

Accept... Breaker and Restless and Wild are two albums i wore the grooves out of back in the day.

Unlike Lemmy, Axl can actually sing though. Listen to some of their ballads such as Patience, Sweet Child, Don't Cry, November Rain, and Civil War.
