The only way it would be possible to "rank" a list of bands is to have them all play identical songs and decide which band played which song the best. And obviously that doesn\'t mean one band is better than the others.

Great band = (Great Tunes + Talented Musicians + Promotion) X Luck

This makes you realize how many great musicians came from over the pond.

The fact that this is a survey of USA Today readers says a lot. Did you really expect any informed opinions?

USA Today is the best (free paper) around

Pearl Jam is the best rock band?

I beg to differ as they set the precedent for all those obnoxious new rock bands with annoying male vocals (see Creed and other related bands).

3. Van Halen. "How many bands from America have been as huge as Van Halen, then had to replace the lead singer and still be as popular, or even more popular, than before?" asked St. Louis reader Christopher Cokenour.

and then get a third lead singer and write some of the worst music ever??

Van Halen sucks.

I couldn\'t have said it better myself. There is something about Van Halen that I hate. It comes on the radio, I turn it off. I usually tell everyone around me when a song comes on the Van Halen sucks. Just not for me and I tried to like it.
