at any point in time, which one would it be?

My all time favourite band is probably Led Zeppelin but I feel they already fullfilled their potential. I'm not a huge fan of albums after Physical Grafiti, they're still pretty good but they lack that addictive ingredient. I would have prefered if Bonham didn't die but I'm satisfied with what Led Zeppelin left behind.

So...my #1 would probably be Guns 'N Roses. I feel they're the last true RNR band, that both played rock and lived rock. It's a shame Axl and Slash ended up hating each others guts. Whenever I listen to Guns, I end up wanting more and I know there isn't anything left to listen. Only 2 true albums(one being a double album), one live/studio album and one collection of cover songs. So little material from such a talented group, really breaks my heart.

So which group would you have "saved" from a break-up and why?

P.S. I really hope this won't be a :melayyanandmessi: wank-fest between Me and Salman and that others will join in the discussion. :D

Probably Blink182, as i used to really like their songs, then they just disappeared from the face of the earth, though i heard that one of them started solo.

I know its not a legendary band, but its a band i heard when growing up

For me its a coin toss between Kiss and Guns n Roses.

Kiss for me,is the band with the greatest stage shows ever.I hate Gene and Paul for the way Ace and Peter were treated.Id give an arm to have the original Kiss lineup back.What irritated me even more was when Gene decided to give Ace's spaceman persona to another guitarist and Peter's cat persona to another drummer simply because 'Gene and Paul have the copyrighst to Ace's spaceman character and Peter's cat character'.Ace Frehley is one of the most underated guitarists out there IMO,and even though drugs fucked him up during his Kiss days,he was by far the most talented of the Kiss members.Screw Eric Carr,screw Bruce Kulick etc..There is only ONE Kiss,and that consists of Paul,Gene,Ace and Peter.The band became a joke with the longest farewell tour ive ever seen,but as far as im concerned,Kiss redefined stage shows.And im saying this despite never going to a Kiss concert.Had i ever been to one,id be kissing Ace's feet right now.

The 2nd band is obviously GNR.When your first album sells 20m records,you are destined for greatness.Im a big fan of original lineups,therefore Steven Adler leaving the band took out a lot of GNR's hype IMO.But they way they started out,with characters like Slash,Duff,Izzy,Axl in there..they were always going to self destruct.Axl rose is my favourite frontman ever,but i do put the blame of Gnr's breakup entirely on him.This guy was best friends with Izzy for 14 long years,and after Izzy left the band,Axl had the nerve to go 'And this is the Izzy Stradling can suck my cock song ' before the band started playing Double Talking Jibe,which was obviously written by Izzy.Izzy's departure also had a huge effect on the band's future because he was the bridge between Slash and Axl,and also because Izzy was the band's most gifted songwriter.Its no wonder that it took the band more than a decade to release new material after Izzy's departure.

On a happier note,Izzy did join Azl's Gnr in some recent concerts,and who knows..he might rejoin the band permanentlysomeday.

Additionaly,id also like to mention Queen here.Freddie's death is the biggest loss to rock music ever IMO.Bigger than Hendrix's death,bigger than Lennon's death,bigger than any rock star's death.Gay shmay..i dont give a rats ass aboout his sexuality.He is without a shadow of the doubt the greatest front man rock music ever saw.The way he could control a crowd with mere flicks of his hands was utterly phenomenal.Ive seen footage of Queen concerts,and i get goosebumps looking at the muscial monster this man was.

I agree with Vlatko about Guns 'n Roses, they are probably the next band after PINK FLOYD I would to save. Definitely Pink Floyd, and I am not talking about the fake one, which was supposed to be named "David Gilmore and his friend".. I am talking about the Pink Floyd where Roger waters was controlling it. I still think they could give us fans more than we could imagine..

    Hmmm..definetly. Are you a fan? I'm not a huge fan but they're stuff after Revolver have been more and more complex, leaving that signature 2-riffs sound behind. I would definetly be interested in hearing their sound in the much heavier 70's.

    I haven't really bothered with INXS much but Hutchens was an amazing frontman. I only have their Greatest Hits album so I can't really comment.

    They had big influence on me , maybe they were the biggest rock band in their prime (some will say after U2).

    I could also add The Doors and Joy Division.
