Post-punk revival needs Franz Ferdinand fosho

Post-punk revival needs Franz Ferdinand fosho

you could def make an argument for them: the first three were easy, picking the last one was difficult, and for me it came between Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, and The Strokes.

Soundgarden is in the Big 4 of Grunge, not STP.

Thrash Big 4 can have Slayer swapped out for Testement.

Like Kenny said, the Big four of British Invasion (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Kinks)

Big four of (classic) prog rock: Pink Floyd, Yes, ELP, the Alan Parsons Project

I think I'd drop Hellhammer from the Big 4 of first wave black metal (especially given as it is pretty much directly continued by Celtic Frost) and replace it with Mercyful Fate, Sodom, or Sarcofago.

Big 4 of Norwegian Black Metal: Darkthrone, Mayhem, Burzum, and then either Emperor, Immortal, Satyricon, or Thorns.

The big four of Industrial: Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Depeche Mode and, er, Skinny Puppy?
