I went with the only rock band I've ever even hear of....Green day.  I'm not a music person, but that band was a hot topic for a long time at my school.  I wanted to kick someones butt every time I heard the name cuz it was getting so annoying to hear every second of every day in the hall. :rolleyes:

Hey you have Muse. I didn't pick it though, even though it is one of my favorites.

I didn't feel like picking "other" so I just decided to pick one from the list. And I chose Linkin Park. They are indeed an amazing band, and I only just recently heard them for the first time. Imagine that. :p

I got plenty of demos (which are legit to send because they were never purchaseable)
I could send you them (tell me your email in a PM if you want them)

Putting in those bands without mentioning any of the classic counterculture bands is to tempt fate...WITH ME

I know you don't like classic rock very much mcr mad, but still. Half of those I don't really consider rock (thats just by my harsh standards).

My Chemical Romance is emo/really dark pop. There's no difference in the two. I don't consider emo or commercial pop rock music.

Fall out Boy belongs in the same category as My Chemical Romance. Basically, if any of the musicians in these bands met with musicians from the 60's-early 90's, they would be put to shame in terms of musical skill, creativity, composition, and soul.

Green Day is post-grunge pop. I admit in their earlier years they were alright. Then, they became more and more pop. American Idiot is the best example of this pop-ish direction. Although they do occasionally do covers of really good songs.

Guns n' Roses is the first true hard rock band on that list. Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Steven Adler, all of them are competent musicians (especially Slash). Appetite for Destruction as also the definitive late 80's rock album.

Muse is alternative. Sometime's they are rockish, other times not. Most of the time they are. Absolution was a pretty good rock album by modern standards, and so was Black Holes and Revalations. Also, the musicians have respectable talent.

I'm not gonna go on because it would take too long. However, my favorite rock band is the timeless Led Zeppelin.

Here's the problem:
"Rock" is a major genre.  All those you mentioned there, NaNaNa, would all be subgenres of rock itself.

I don't think we could really find any band that would count as purely "rock" and nothing else but I could be mistaken.  Feel free to explain if you can! :D

Indeed it is a wide genre. It took me a while to set up standards in my mind for what rock is and isn't.

Remember this is purely my opinion. Music is always opinion.

Instead of saying "best ever," I'm gonna go for my favorite, and say Pink Floyd, RIP Richard Wright... :( And also... Does the electronic/jazz-rock fusion/funk era of Miles Davis count? :D

I went with Linkin Park. It was the first band I ever liked and what got into music in the first place, though unfortunately I don't listen to it much anymore.  :neutral
