Which is the BIGGEST band of the world today?

[caamora4]

it would have to be U2, i like them, i totally understand why other people don't.

this is based that they've been around a while and have the young fans as well as the older ones

[Angelica]

Jesus, that's one depressing fucking list...

[Turn_It_Up]

As far as "biggest" it's U2, don't even think that's debatable.

AS gets my vote for "best" from that list, their debut album was exceptional first track to last. Out of Exile also starting to wear well, but not as strong as the debut...

Hate to say it but the "biggest" and most popular today would be greenday..

[the tourist]

coldplay and U2

and for the rock part audioslave

[Shazza]

Some people missed a key word: Biggest band TODAY. As in right now who's in our faces, who's getting alot of press, etc. Not biggest band, biggest band TODAY. Out of that lists it's Green Day easily, followed by Audioslave.

[Careful_With_That_Axe]

havent even seen audioslaves name mentioned in any magazine, havent heard any singles, reviews, sold out tours, massive shows etc etc. All these things have to be considered. Audioslave are hardly the biggest band in the world today.

[damian 1200]

System of a down

MY COCK IS MUCH BIGGER THAN YOUR'S MY COCK CAN WALK RIGHT THROUGH THE DOOR WITH A FEELING SO PURE

[Desperado]

I think it's U2 but I don't like them

[matt_barker]

u2 or greenday..

i go for u2

[oneAXLinamillion]

Althougt I don't like them U2 are the biggest band in that list..

But I think that Coldplay and Audioslave(their second album rock nearly as the first one IMO) are producing better music without a doubt...

They're getting alot of airtime where I am but then I'm in New Zealand so yeah.

[Getizzyback]

Is this the best the world has to offer?(SPIT !!!!!!),I picked Maroon 5 because the're the only group I haven't heard out of that list and I think they could probally fart better noise than Green Day,I don't think U2 belongs here,but I don't think any of these groups will ever be as big as U2 once was,I'm surprised Velvet Revolver is not here,although I can't stand Weiland,the're still big(somehow)let's face it,ROCK IS DEAD,if this is the best,I'm glad I grew up in the 80s,we had the best,now I will find me some Maroon 5 and I will keep saying Green Day sucks!

[Fizz]

The biggest bands are U2 and Green Day easily. Green Day maybe a wee bit more coverage at the moment.

I'm not a fan of either band but they're definitely everywhere right now.

[RobbieGlenn]

I hate them all so i refuse to vote...cos im a cunt

[Alexi Wildchild Laiho]

Guns N Roses?

They probably sold more copies of Appetite this year than Coldplay sold of all their poxy albums put together.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

true, it is the top selling album of the 80s, and probably of all time. [next to zoso though]

[rufus]

Coldplay, fo shizzle!

Is Appetite even in the top ten? I know that Thriller, Zeppelin IV, and Back in Black are in the top five, and I think the Eagles' Greatest Hits is up there (it's #1 in the US).

And of all time, too.

AFD is the best-selling rock debut album to date, though. Right?

[x Axl Rose x]

U2 are and Green day over overated

[wasted]

Ok if its down to album sales that must lookable-upable.

But to me the biggest is still GNR because Axl is the biggest star in the Rock world. Everyone wants to know. Every magazine would kill for exclusive interview. Most muscians would rather meet, work with, Axl than Bono.

Axl is the one. Not that it matters, we are all one, continuous and immortal.

[Jer1985]

I voted for U2 but Green Day is too

[Shearaxl]

U2 bye far

[KBear]

Probably U2, but I hate them.

(I hate Greenday, those fake rebels, even more)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't think Green Day try to be rebels. I watched a one hour special on them recently and if there is one thing those guys are not, it's pretentious. They are just a bunch of jokers, that's how they act and they don't try to pretend otherwise. I also loved Billy Joe's comments on the music industry today...he made fun of the growling type vocals used by bands like Nickleback (he was mimicking the singer), and he said music is at the one of the lowest points it's ever been. And they are GN'R fans to boot. Nothing to argue with there.

AI is a very good album...they know how to write quality songs, with good hooks and catchy melodies. They would be my pick.

Now as for Audioslave, believe it or not the only song I know from them is Be Yourself (I've probably heard others but don't know that they are Audioslave songs). And I gotta say, what a freaking boring song it is.
