Crixtala and mmmbeans had some good answers. My Morning Jacket, White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, all top 10 as far as American bands go.

most of the names in this thread are just popular bands with no originality or musical value. you can't just use "best" as "most popular" unless you wanna say that Fox News is the best network. lol.

if you think RHCP are the best American band then you hate music.

in my opinion, you have to look at what a band added to music, not what they take from it. sure, Kings of Leon is popular. but do you think they are influencing anything? no, they're just a rock band. they're the sum of their own influences. in 20 years nobody will know who they are.

you'll be hard pressed to find a more original, influential, and long lasting American band than The Flaming Lips. they've been putting out records for 30 years and will be in the list of influences for every creative band of the past few decades.

Unfortunately for old KoL fans, Only By the Night ruined them as a band. 90% of that album is radio pop songs. Their old stuff, namely from Youth and Young Manhood and Aha Shake Heartbreak is really, really great music.

I still say

is one of the best songs of the past decade. And Bob Dylan agrees with me.

you just wanted to show off that you can type π.

/mine's an ugly π.

I'm showing off the fact that I know that the character map pi.GIF is ugly and that I care enough to host an image of a pretty one.

I think its pretty silly to use words like Best in association with any art forms. Best for who? Is it possible there is one band that is the best for the entire public?

Whats the best painting? Whats the best sculpture? Questions with no real answer.

This

Based on what? Ticket sales? Record sales? Awards won? Which genre?

A matter of opinion.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
