Actually, I'm kinda surprised no one has mentioned Radiohead. I wouldn't say they are bigger than U2, but they are definitely big worldwide.

Metallica was the biggest band during the Black Album stage. Fuck you I"m not going to go dig up stats and shit. That album still does massive sales.

I was watching the History of Metal and they said the metal bands ahead of Metallica in the 80s were Motley Crue and Twisted sister. Reason: they had gimmicks, metallica is ugly.

I do actually enjoy Load and Reload. Yeah it's a lot different from their older shit, but it's still very distinct. St. Anger had a couple good songs and a bunch of loud noises.

So do other 90s records, tardboy.

I am a big U2 fan, as most of you know. I know there are different opinions on their campaigning, which quite frankly I can understand...but their music really isn't all that bad I don't think. But to each their own I suppose, but I'd definately say the biggest bands ar the Rolling Stones and U2.

You like U2? :?: Why is the boyfriend always the last to know?

It was one of my guilty pleasures. Don't worry, we'll work through it. :kiss:

At this point, I would insert a U2 song lyrics in a timely fashion, but I've never much listened to them.

I don't, like, HATE them, but I've never made a point to listen to 'em much either. I mean, offhand, I can only name Vertigo and a Beautiful Day, and I do hate one of those tracks.

there are plenty of other classics such as:

With or Without You
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Pride (In The Name Of Love)
New Year's Day
One
I Will Follow

I know there are more. I just couldn't name 'em.

I've tried getting into 'em, but their GH CDs tend to be overly costly, even used.

what is GH?

U2 is clearly the biggest band in the world.

Not gonna lie I havent heard anything about Radiohead in like 2 years

In the past two years they've been touring with stuff they are going to put on their new album. Their in the studio recording again right now.

I'm a huge Radiohead fan but I wouldn't consider them to be the biggest band in the world. Best yes. Biggest no.

Fat Joe and whoever is backing him.

You my friend, are a giant faggot

Ever : The Beatles

Alive: The Fucking Stones. Album sales plus concert sales plus fan base plus being old = The Shit

Metallica is the top METAL band ever, but that is where I draw the line. Remember, during the black album they were opening for GNR if I remember correctly. They were huge, but shitty cds and turning on their fans cost them dearly.

Of the current bands, I would say that My Chemical Romance is on top. They sell alot of records and all, but it comes down to their fans. They are fucking nuts about them. Its hard to find a kid between 12-18 that doesnt want to suck they pee pees. Just like Jeff Hardy, there is just some odd connection between them and the fans. Very Loyal.


Also, I will join the I fucking hate Wolf Mother club. I would rather listen to Nelson for the rest of my life than ever hear another WM song.

AC/DC

No! i was saying I nod to the stones and u2 and would like to add the others I mentioned?

Take That right now I'd say...

I'd says its U2 unfortunately even though they're shite, much like Coldplay all of the influential DJ's and critics rim them for some reason or other.

Also :rofl: @ whoever said Dave Matthews Band are one of the biggest in the world.
