April 19, 200817 yr I nominate: Nine Inch Nails. http://www.ugo.com/images/galleries/nineinchnailslive_music/nineinchnails1.jpg Nine Inch Nails (abbreviated as NIN) is an industrial rock act, founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. As its main producer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist, Reznor is the only official member of Nine Inch Nails and remains solely responsible for its direction. NIN's music straddles a wide range of genres, while retaining a characteristic sound using electronic instruments and processing. After recording a new album, Reznor usually assembles a live band to perform with him; this live component is a separate entity from Nine Inch Nails in the recording studio. On stage, NIN often employs spectacular visual elements to accompany its performances, which frequently culminate with the band destroying their instruments. Best single: Hurt.

Originally formed under the name Gamma Ray by guitarist Josh Homme, Queens of the Stone Age developed a style of riff-oriented, heavy music which Homme described as 'robot rock', saying that he "wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, and just pound it into your head". The band is frequently described as stoner rock, although they reject the term. “ The term sucks. The only element of the audience I want to get rid of is the shirtless, sweaty, maxi-mullet jock dudes. We want sex to bleed into the music. At our shows, we want to see half boys and half girls in a utopian world, dancing and drinking. ” Their sound has since evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences. Best Song: Song For The Dead. Best Single: The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret [2000] Best Album: Rated R.

April 26, 200817 yr The Cult Best song: She Sells Sanctuary Best album: Electric The Cult - were they that good??? thought they were as useful as INXS from recent reviews. however if your gonna have the cult - how about The Doors, and you could also have people like The Byrds, Love, MC5, David Bowie, Sparks if its suposed to be all types of rock (classic, country, glam) and not just macho Rawwwk Guitar freenzy also maybe the Rolling Stones and U2 should get a mention - well big enough rock stars to get a film in cineworld - must be doing something right
