the greatest band of all time?..
« on: April 26, 2011, 11:28:16 pm »
So I\'m thinking, a bunch of bands could be the greatest band of all time.

Like a few drummers in Africa in 328 B.C. could have been just about the greatest band of all time.

Or maybe Phish was the greatest band of all time?
Original Smashing Pumpkins line-up or maybe Billy Corgan with Spirits in the Sky is better because it\'s currently more relevant.

So if the greatest band of all time is a concept that exists on something like a quantum field of possiblity, maybe The Breakfast is the greatest band of all time as well.

I enjoy the music.

Live Act? GRATEFUL DEAD
Hands down. During their time they played to more people than anyone ever. Filled STADIUMS for nearly 2 decades and influence musicians to this day with their musical legacy.

Quick answer....Phish...

Long emotional answer Psychedelic Breakfast/The Breakfast.  They are a band, which after over a decade together with minimal member changes, still keeps getting better and better.  Not to mention they are local boys, whom I\'ve become great friends with, not to mention all the friendships that have grown
(and keep growing) from the within Breakfast family circle......That is why Psychedelic Breakfast is the best band ever....To Me...

this is one of those topics where everyone has their own opinion. it can\'t be pinpointed down.

in my heart, the greatest band ever.... i will always say The Beatles, because they shaped so much of my youth and me coming to love music at a young age.  

Greatest band currently still touring?  I say Wilco.  I am sorry, but I have to.  I have seen them every year for the last three.  And their shows move me. literally.  like my being and soul reaches places i didn\'t think it could.     But then again, its only my opinion.

I would say pearl jam, but that is because they are my favorite band, have been touring 20 years strong, were a big part of a movement in music history in the early 90\'s, etc...

Phish is a bunch of quitters who wouldn\'t even have made it this far
 w/o GD being around.

Phish is great.

But I think in 10 years if Breakfast keeps it up... it could be a close call.

Overall Bfast are better at their instruments and probably close to tied for amount of epic tunes. Give it time.. best band ever.
