Best Hard Rock Band, Take 2

[DethTung]

OK, ignore the one without the "Take 2" part- I messed that one up. This will include the poll.

The same rules apply as the first one- constructive, not destructive critcism and strictly hard rock bands in there.

[thedaniel]

Why not just add a poll to the first one?

[Onslaught_fei]

Why not just add a poll to the first one?

Because hes Dethtung.

[tridentgum0]

Because hes Dethtung.

No, he's Tungy. Get it right.

[DethTung]

No, he's Tungy. Get it right.

Actually, it's because I don't know how to add the poll after posting the thread.

Add poll to thread.

[tridentgum0]

Deep Purple and Van Halen are pretty much considered metal.

[DethTung]

OK.

onslaught_fei, you are hereby charged with propelling approximately 2 fluid ounces of kentucky deluxe and sam's choice root beer through my nose and onto my parents' relatively clean keyboard...

how do you plead?

[Squaretriangles]

Kind of pointless adding a poll in the first place, don't you think? People are just going to complain about how none of those bands are anywhere near the best, some of them aren't hard rock, etc.

Also, Rock and Roll is the devil's music.

[Alright_Computer]

Hollywood Undead by far.

Rock and Roll's the devil's work he wants you to rebel.
You've become a mindless puppet, Beelzebub'll pull the strings
Your heart will lose direction and chaos he will bring
You better shut your mouth you better watch your tone
Your grounded for a week with no telephone
Don't lemme hear ya cry, don't lemme hear ya moan
You gotta praise the Lord when you're in my home
*slams door*

Kickapoo. :p

[tridentgum0]

Kickapoo. :p

That was a great movie.

[Squaretriangles]

That was a great movie.

I still haven't seen it, just all the Youtube clips. :(

[tridentgum0]

Watch that movie. It's great.

[Alright_Computer]

No brokeNCYDE? This poll fails. They're the most hardcore band I know.

[timmay9]

List fails for no Cher.

Innocently Guilty!

[sonicnerd23]

It's close between Zep, Purple, and the Who for me.

Ultimately, I went with Zep. I like bands who experiment lots. Not saying the Who or Purple never experimented, but Zep just did it more and did it perfectly.

My reasoning is very bland, but hey, I'm tired.

[Runesmith]

1. Foghat
2. Def Leppard
3. KISS
4. Montrose
5. The Cult

Really hard to just say one, so I name-dropped five of my absolute favorite hard rock bands. None of them are on the poll, though...

[MrFruitLord]

Out of the bands listed, Deep Purple, who are considered Heavy Metal as well.

[Zidane]

Going with Deep Purple on this one.

[XacharyCross]

Never so much got the "Hard rock" label, at least as far as assigning whole bands to it, almost any rock band has probably dabbled in it extensively.

Based on general guidance, the similarity to the available poll options, and lastFM/wikipedia research though, apparently Alice Cooper is my favorite of said genre.

[b4nny]

Head Zepperlin or Gombos and Hoses! Whatever you call that Sh*t it's still the devils music! LORD KEEP US SAFE! STRIKE DOWN THESE TERRIBLE "MUSICMAKERS"!!!!! SMITE THEM! YOU MUST REPENT OR YOU SHALL BE SENT TO HELL FOR ETERNITY! amen!

[Onslaught_fei]

Head Zepperlin or Gombos and Hoses!

My Korean mother has an absolute brainfart whenever there is an r and an l together in an English word. Listening to her try to say 'world' and then error out always nets a good laugh.

i didn't know you liked Foghat or Montrose


List fails for no Cher.

Cher > most of the bands up there

GYPSIES TRAMPS AND THIEVES!

[gmarsh]

Zeppelin, also Sabbath needs to be on the poll.

[tridentgum0]

Zeppelin, also Sabbath needs to be on the poll.

Sabbath was metal.

[gmarsh]

Sabbath was metal.

It's still hard rock.

[Bub]

Deep Purple and Van Halen are pretty much considered metal.

Not really.

[gmarsh]

Guns N' Roses were also pretty much considered metal.

[Runesmith]

i didn't know you liked Foghat or Montrose

I've been a big fan of Foghat since I first listened to one of their live albums a few years ago, but I just started digging into Montrose a few days ago. While the lyrics are laughably bad in a campy-but-awesome kind of way (Space Station 5!), the music itself has a great groove and some nice riffs.

[killer_roach]

Was a tossup between The Who and Deep Purple. Flipped a coin... and The Who it is. :)

[CommonCriminal]

LZ.

[clashcityrocker10]

Honestly, I've never liked the term "hard rock." It can be applied to such a wide range of bands, I feel it's unnecessary. Out of the bands on the poll, I like The Who the best, so I'll vote for them.

[Alright_Computer]

It's still hard rock.

OK, then I guess Death and Cannibal Corpse are hard rock too.

[CycoMiko138]

Zeppelin for me. I pretty much expected them and The Who to be the runaway favorites (along with AC/DC and G'n'R), but Purple fans are surprising me.

[gmarsh]

OK, then I guess Death and Cannibal Corpse are hard rock too.

No not really, there's some metal bands I do consider hard rock like sabbath,priest, guns n roses.

But bands like you mentioned, not so much.

I can't remember where I read this, it might have been on the forums.

Someone said, "Metal can be hard rock, but hard rock can't be metal."

Kind of like a square can be a rectangle, but a rectangle can't be a square.
It makes sense to me.

[classicrockdude]

Deep Purple!

[gmarsh]

Deep Purple!

I was positive you were going to say zeppelin...

[JukeBoxHero]

I'll go with the band not on the poll, Blue Oyster Cult. :)

[willdabeast21]

there are half a dozen hard rock bands I like better than whats up there, but I voted Zeppelin anyway

[mercury11]

The Who. It's not even close.

:) after The Who Deep Purple

[mercury11]

Velvet Revolver Audioslave and Bon Jovi could have been replaced with better picks

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

The Who 100%.

[ImHotterThanYou]

Led Zeppelin

[Fizzeler]

from poll Deep Purple

Off poll BOC

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

Deep Purple and Van Halen are pretty much considered metal.

No.

[classicrockdude]

No.

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

sometimes

Halen more than Purple, but to me no.

[DrewLee865]

The Who. Easily of the ones up there.
