Best Big Four?

[Guitar_Demigod]

Several genres and scenes have a "Big Four", but which one is best?

[King_Nuthin]

The railroad tycoons.

[instantdeath999]

The only possible answer is the big four of Tween.

Naked Brothers Band, Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana, and Miranda Cosgrove.

[Gowienczyk]

Why do people make these threads?

[King_Nuthin]

I honestly have no clue what Tweens like these days but I think I'd put Taylor Swift in that particular group over Miranda.

LOLwut?

The others were between Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer. This is between The above grouping and 3 others.

[a21schizoidman]

Why do people make these threads?

because they want to make fools of themselves?

[JerryBrudos]

Went with thrash only British invasion band I really like are The Who and don't feel too strongly for either of the other genres.

[Onslaught_fei]

Going with the original black metal wave: Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, and Hellhammer. Only to be a ****.

[a21schizoidman]

besides, everyone knows the Big Four of British Invasion are:
The Kinks, The Animals, Herman's Hermits, and Dusty Springfield

[bjyaritz]

No Zeppelin? But we have the Kinks? Get an education.

[MrFruitLord]

I voted Grunge.
As much as I hate Slayer, I don't know anybody who considers Testament part of the big 4.

[a21schizoidman]

No Zeppelin? But we have the Kinks? Get an education.

this is one of the stupidest things ive ever read

its like:"if it weren't for my horse, i wouldn't have spent that year in college"

[Rockbandfan23467]

British Invasion was dead by the time Zeppelin were around.

[schmeankman]

Pam Anderson and Lil Kim


ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!



I could have come up with better names, those just came to me first.

David Letterman. I miss his beard.

Why do people make these threads?

For the same reason people make these posts, I guess.

great, now we're all going to get brain aneurysms because someone thought Led Zeppelin was part of the british invasion.

[afterstasis]

screamo: antioch arrow, heroin, angel hair, and swing kids.

[Soror_YZBL]

Goth: Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, Cure, and Bauhaus

EPIC WIN!

[franticfish]

Late 60's/70's hard rock big 4: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, The Who.

[King_Nuthin]

Death, Pestilence, War and Famine.

[MronoC]

Late 60's/70's hard rock big 4: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, The Who.

no cream?

[franticfish]

no cream?Hmmm... well they would defintly be in if it was top 5 but I just think that the albums released by the bands stated between 69-70 (Live at Leeds, In Rock, Black Sabbath, LZ II) were so influential in bringing hard rock to the mainstream in a time when mainstream music was mainly 'hippie' love and peace music that it had to be LZ, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and The Who get mentioned.

[sonicnerd23]

Big Four of Prog Rock: Yes, Rush, Jethro Tull, and Pink Floyd.

[a21schizoidman]

Big Four of Prog Rock: Yes, Rush, Jethro Tull, and Pink Floyd.

not even close

it'd be:

Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, ELP

[Fizzeler]

Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, ELP

Agreed although I think runner ups would include Jethro Tull and Kansas

[Rockbandfan23467]

Actually, Prog has a Big 6: ELP, Genesis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes, and Jethro Tull.

[a21schizoidman]

Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd are not in the "big" grouping

[Fizzeler]

Actually, Prog has a Big 4: ELP, Genesis, King Crimson, Yes.

fixed

[a21schizoidman]

Agreed although I think runner ups would include Jethro Tull and Kansas

i couldnt throw Tull in the big grouping due to most people only knowing two albums

though, we could do this:

Big 4 of the Canterbury Scene: Egg, Soft Machine, Caravan, Gong

[SuperRocker47]

thrash is the way to go it has amazing song writing and instruments

[Gowienczyk]

Consider that early prog (or proto prog) had several big bands; Procul Harum, The Nice, Moody Blues, etc.

[sonicnerd23]

thrash is the way to go it has amazing song writing and instruments

And prog doesn't? :rolleyes:

[Dave219]

I went for Thrash. And I wouldn't consider System Of A Down nu-metal, either.

[Steelerfreak1977]

And prog doesn't? :rolleyes:


Prog isn't part of the poll. Can't you read?

[schmeankman]

Country Rock: The Eagles, Poco, Buffalo Springfield, and Loggins & Messina... I guess.

That was horrible.

[timmay9]

Big Four of the Garage Rock Revival: The White Stripes, The Hives, The Strokes, and The Vines.

Not my favorite big four by far, but just throwing that out there.

[sonicnerd23]

Prog isn't part of the poll. Can't you read?


Yes, but if they were, I'd vote for them.

[HyeJinx1984]

You skipped "classic metal"

Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Motorhead

[Idiostock]

You skipped "classic metal"

Black Sabbath
Judas Priest

Heavy Metal, and F*CK YEAH

[Alright_Computer]

What about the big 3 of shoegazer?

My Bloody Valentine
Ride
Slowdive

It's not a big 4 but the combined awesomeness of the 3 together makes the equivalent of a fourth band.

Add The Jesus & the Mary Chain and we have a party.

[Bub]

Grunge.

[franticfish]

Big 3 of Teutonic Thrash
Kreator
Sodom
Destruction

[ArmsAreLoud]

Grunge wins. The other "Big Fours" have at least one mediocre-to-crappy band that brings it down below the awesomness that is Grunge. Nu-Metal has three, which is probably why it doesn't have any votes.

[WingsOfSteel]

British Invasion is first because all the bands are great.

Grunge is second because I love Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Soundgarden, but I'm kinda indifferent to most Alice in Chains.

Thrash is third because Megadeth and Testament are great, but I think Metallica's merely decent and the other two aren't my bag at all.

Nu-Metal is a distant fourth. System of a Down is OK and I can tolerate Disturbed, but I despise the other two.

The only one in the 'Grunge Big Four' I can stand are Nirvana, and I only really like their first album. This said, I like 'grunge', and am miffed that the lame bands beat the good ones out to fame.
