It’s not looking promisingEl_K said:VH from 78-84 was the American version of Led Zeppelin. Something we will probably never see again.

Van Halen
One of the reasons I didn't vote Metallica. The other being Eddie mother fucking Van Halen. Fuck this board and it's lack of respect for VH.Mad_Son said:Only if you're willing to demean metal by categorizing it as rock.

The Beach BoysI still really like Green Day but they don't scream California. The Beach Boys still do.

It's complicated with the Beach Boys.Fenderbender123 said:The Beach Boys and it's not even close.
In many respects they are the most influential and important group in this list. No offense to my hatchet packer BFF @Swaye .
They were really the first self contained rock group to write their own songs who make it big in the US (pre-dating the Beatles by a bit). And they were the only US group to challenge the Beatles artistically speaking, albeit for a very brief period in 1966.
But, alas, their hey day was relatively short (i.e., 1963- 66) and they collapsed right as the classic rock era kicked off. Imagine the Beach Boys is Mike Love wasn't a square. The Beatles had two genius songwriters who weren't mentally weak. The Beach Boys had one who was a full on headcase. -
Metallica4 geniuses and 20 dummies. About what I figured at HH.
