I am so sick of people saying the best rock and roll band EVER is/was Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin.

Yes both bands were very good and there still hasn't been really comparable to either. But with that said, there are more original bands that are still coming out that are either on or close to that level.

I just have a problem hearing it because it is becoming a fad to like older bands that weren't around during your time (the vintage/retro era is coming). With a large selection of creative and original bands coming out in a society that is becoming relatively unoriginal and is starting to reuse old idea, it would be better for you to broaden your musical knowledge and help progress imagination and creativity.

Do you like Pink Floyd? Do you like Led Zeppelin? Then pick up an instrument and try to play what you think is up to their level of music while not necessarily playing the same type of music. Go, I challenge you.

^What you are asking is fucking impossible. "Up to their level" huh? Being at that level could be different to everybody. This kid was probably just making this thread to get everyone opinions. I don't think he was looking for some asshole comment on what the current trend of rock is. Pink floyd is sick, end of story.

"play what you think is up to their level"

the key words there are "what you think"

I was saying that you don't need to just sit back and say they're the best, you should go try and top their benchmark.

If people never tried to push the bar we would have never gotten anywhere. Everything has advanced because of this small concept.

I'm tired of hearing the same over produced emo post-punk pop shit on the radio and I'm sure you are too. So stop deciding on what the best band is and go be the best band.

wow, he actually makes an extremely good point.

"I was saying that you don't need to just sit back and say they're the best, you should go try and top their benchmark.

If people never tried to push the bar we would have never gotten anywhere."

Something also to take into consideration is that bands like Led Zepplin were not always good. I guarantee you that they were horrible when they first started out, but what seperates them from the other million bands out there is devotion and commitment.

and burton, I'm not saying to redo their songs. Do something you think is equally is good. Hell, even if it doesn't have to do with music.

I must say, I never was too fond of The Doors, and The Beatles are ok, because I like a couple of thier songs like elinor rigby, sargent pepper's lonley heartclub band, yeah those ones. I can't stand songs like yellow submerine and all those other ones that sound like it. I am the walrus kicks ass though.

neil young is a very honorable mention. but i guess we sort of have to narrow it down, because are we talking about all of rock in the old days. because yes and floyd are definitely prog. rock and some might not consider them to be totally classic rock.
some other notable bands are
allman brothers band
bob dylan
buffalo springfield
crosby stills nash and young
ELO
zappa
jethro tull
joe walsh
the kinks
peter frampton
rush
steely dan
steve miller
traffic
neil young was in there twice, thats gotta count for something

Did anyone say Jethro Tull? My vote. Consistently good albums (a few masterpieces, a few not as good), great, original songwriting and who would have thought flute rocks?

Maybe Tull is more proggish though. For pure rock... there is no "best". I'd say (after Tull), Zeppelin, Floyd (also proggish though), the Who and Grateful Dead (though not as "rock" as others).
