I've been away from the board for a while...

Just wanted to say TWISTED SISTER is still the greatest Rock n Roll band in the world.

No discussion necessary. Just stating a fact.

My thanks to TS for doing what they do. Looking forward to the box set at Christmas.

Good thing you don't want a discussion cuz I think you might be shot down pretty hard. That's a lofty statement. Despite them being my favorite RNR of my lifetime, I'd have a difficult time trying to prove in court that they are history's best RNR band.

But hell yeah! Lookin' forward to crankin that box set this winter!

Thank you for that vote of support. I believe that we are one of the greatest live rock bands of all time. but as far as our records are concerned I could list many bands (not solo artists) that are much more influential and groundbreaking. Lists are subjective and everyone has a right to claim any band or individual as the source of great musical and/or spiritual satisfaction. The mere mention of TS with any of the following bands is humbling.

Here is a partial list of my faves

Beatles
Dave Clarke 5
the Rolling Stones
the kinks
Cream
the Who
Led Zep
Pink Floyd
Queen
Jimi Hendrix Experience
Alice Cooper
Judas priest
AC/DC
Black Sabbath
the Band
the Beachboys
Grateful Dead
KISS
the Move
the Allman Bros.
Creedence Clearwater
ZZ Top
the Eagles

Just my opinion for starters......

A very impressive list Jay Jay! This could be a fun thread. Everyone here obviously has an affinity for Twisted Sister but I'm sure we've all got lots of great bands that have held some meaning for us. Being a musician myself, there's loads of them for me!

This list is by no means all-encompassing but these are some of the big ones that impacted my playing and performance styles.

Twisted Sister (of course!)
Billy Sheehan (In any band he's been in. I play bass if you didn't figure that out from that statement.)
Thin Lizzy
AC/DC
Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Kiss (original line up)
Gary Moore
Metallica
Van Halen (original line up)
King's X
Led Zeppelin
Anthrax
Aerosmith
Queen
Alice Cooper
ZZ Top

And many more but those are the big ones. Lots of memories over my lifetime while listening to these bands!

Great lists, great bands, all legends. I'll add a few of my favorites to the pre-TS first-album era:

RAMONES
THE RUNAWAYS
RUSH
DUST
TRUTH AND JANEY
THE DOORS
THE CLASH
MOTORHEAD
IRON MAIDEN
NY DOLLS
SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE
CHEAP TRICK

But in all honesty Jay Jay--no B.S.--if I only owned one album, and that album was YOU CAN'T STOP ROCK N ROLL, I would be perfectly content. In my opinion it is a true rock n roll masterpiece.

Humbling??? That means like a lesser dignity of importance. I totally know what you mean, but "humbling" really seems like the opposite word. I think 'flattering' is more like it.

well for pink floyd and the beatles the never got on stage and just rocked out. zeppelin imo is the most overrated band in history. they ripped off songs and tried to get away without giving any royalties to the original artists although over the years thats changed with all of the lawsuits filed against them. page was pretty bad live and the fact he's released just about nothing in the last 30 years proved his borrowing of old blues tunes was his bread and butter

what does mick singing have to do with them live. his voice live sounds exactly the same as the albums. if you don't think what he does is singing thats 1 thing but live his voice matches what you hear on the radio.

That may be so, but neither Mick or Jimmy can hold a candle to Dee or Freddy or even Ozzy, to name a few.
