who are the greatest band in the world right now

antod

my vote goes to arcade fire.

Oriel

Muse

deise_boi

that's easy......Porcupine Tree of course

OctavarIan

What do you mean by greatest?

BMSC

live id say muse but the kings of leon are musically the best IMO :cool:

judas101

Interpol for me

Mr. Presentable

U2.

I can't stand them, but you can't deny their track record and longevity.

PeakOutput

i don't know about greatest but the biggest would be u2 or green day.

id say arctic monkeys could get to that kinda level if its done right

Haven't a Clue

Muse.

Radiohead would be my second choice, but they'd wanna get their act together and release the new album pretty soon.

Driver 8

Radiohead

JC 2K3

A greatest band does not exist right now.

Karl Hungus

Bah, silly thread. There's no "greatest" anything.

But for the sake of a laugh, I'll say Dimmu Borgir:

Sinfonia

Radiohead

Peyton Manning

Its all opinion.

Mine being Kings of Leon.

jmck87

Arctic Monkeys.... most potential.... I like the fact theyre not caught up on being 'superstars'..... old cliche i know but it seems to be just about the music with them...

lordgoat

Not an easy question in fairness though

Worst Thread Ever.

Well I don't know what you mean really.
Radiohead are the greatest musically.But I'd say muse are possibly the 'greatest'.

But that's all my opinion.

You're forgetting "What are you listening too right now" threads. Then you've covered 85% of all posts on all music boards since time immemorial, easy.

Theres no greatest band in the world, everyone just has an opinion of what is.

Ah c'mon, regardless of whether or not I start my own thread on any deep meaningful music issue I wish these types of threads are pretty much pointless and have been done to death.

Yet you're continuing them on by posting on them :P I know what you mean, but it's a music thread, if somebody wants to start a thread they can, no matter how much you roll your eyes at it. Also remember that new people constantly join this every day, so they don't know that it has been done a million and 3 times already.

Just a point.

And I would say Foo Fighters, but would love it to be Snow Patrol.
