Best of these late90s/00s popular Hard Rock groups?

[JKKDARK]

Which one do you prefer?

I'm going with The Darkness.

[mrslash]

VR, followed by The Darkness.

[P.A. Guns]

Ummm all!!

[Ace Nova]

VR

[Björn]

The Darkness for me

[Sweet Raptured Light]

The Darkness only has one good song.

[F*ck Fear]

Velvet Revolver

[FunkyMonk]

VR>The Darkness>>>>>Buckcherry.

[Ant]

Where's QOSTA?

[UseYourAppetite]

I agree with Ant, where's the Queens?

Out of those it would have to be Velvet Revolver for myself, followed by Buckcherry then The Darkness. I like all three though.

Tie between VR and Buckcherry. It pains me to say that, because of Slash and Duff and such. I was so excited when VR was just starting. I basically counted it as the second coming of Gn'R at the time. I'm very impressed with the 15 album by Buckcherry, though, except that one song from it that was real popular, Crazy Bitch. That song sucked. I saw Josh Todd live opening up for Tesla. This was during Buckcherry's hiatus. Josh Todd solo SUCKED. He was cool. Good frontman and all but his band BLEW and the songs were terrible. One of the members of his band pulled off this pretty awful 5-second solo (longest solo of their set) and afterwards looked around all proud as if he had accomplished some great feat. As far as the Darkness goes, they were okayish, but I oculd never stand Justin Hawking's voice. I think that's what the singer's name was, anyway.

The Darkness were talented with a variety of different music and barely a bad song (especially on Permission to Land), whilst Buckcherry are your basic run-of-the-mill hard rock with 1 or 2 good songs per album and a hell of a lot of very average filler, Buckcherry don't know the meaning of variety.

They all good. I'd pick Darkness. Just Because...

Satellite Party.

The Killers.

Manic Street Preachers - Send Away The Tigers.

[Guest Satanisk_Slakt]

VR.

The Darkness is one of the worst groups ever...

[wasted]

I prefer early Darkness. Some of their latter work became indulgent and overblown. The punk thrust of I Believe in a Thing Called Love redefined 90s Alt. Rock and changed the musical landscape forever. A neatly manicure lawn became a gnome infested rockery with a japanese water feature.

[krissirge]

Buckcherry

[pain cake]

They're all pretty awful

[Shuffle]

There's plenty of other good groups... But of these I'd say VR, I like the other two too but the falsetto stuff in the Darkness annoys me and Buckcherry have a couple of good songs but also a lot filler...

[DopeSickGirl]

I like Buckcherry and The Darkness for the novelty.

Velvet Revolver are fantastic; they get my vote too.

[SunnyDRE]

None of these bands.

Whilel all 3 show flashs of brilliance, particularly the Darkenss. They all have recorded uneven albums.

The best band from this era, was this small band from Washington: Sunny Day Real Estate.

[Chris Axl]

Out of those...would have to say Velvet Revolver.

I don't think Sunny Day Real Estate would qualify as being a hard rock group.

Right. Sunny Day Real Estate was an Alternative Rock band (Emo exactly).

Agree with everything in this post. Buckcherry are just so run-of-the-mill and cliche. I don't understand how they're so popular. The Darkness on the other hand, were awesome. Their second album wasn't as good as their first, but it still had some great tracks like Is It Just Me, Hazel Eyes, English Country Garden and Knockers. They also have a great trait in a band that I've always liked; humour. They weren't afraid to make fun of themselves and muck about, while other bands these days tend to take themselves too seriously.

EDIT: Also, if you're gonna include supergroups, why isn't Audioslave up there?

Because they're Alternative Rock and as we all know that's a completely different thing than Hard Rock. Duh.
