I'd also have to go with Pink Floyd.

with the media the way it is.. you look at any listed shows about stuff like this, Led Zeppelin always gets it, and Pink Floyd almost always never even makes it on.. cause they go back into classic rock which Floyd are but well they just weren't as rockin in the 70's as Zeppelin were i guess.. well thats the way music listed channels play it out that way.

PINK FLOYD RULES MY MUSICAL WORLD!

My choice:

Velvet Underground

really why?

What do you mean why?
Why did you choose Pink Floyd?

Cuzz they did kewl stuff.

because Roger Waters just might be the best writer on earth in my eyes.. David Gilmore is a amazing guitar player. There albums are amazing, i can't complain. There different and copied no one, they've always done there own thing. They were in it for the money yet still were actually amazing at what they did. this band has/had a big part in my life muiscally..

Well, I think that they are overrated, lull-inducing background music.

so why is Velvet Underground your favorite, i'm not asking to be a bitch i'm just asking cause i don't know much of this band and would like to hear some opinions on them.. and the reasons you like them. Stop taking everything i say as if i'm trying to be rud to you.

They are the godfathers of Indie-Pop, proto-punk
Incredible lyrics, brilliant melodies, no wanking (which is a big deal)
Its also a plus that they dont get shoved into that load of shit genre known as 'classic rock'

thank you.. now see was that so hard bill? i'll give them more a listen.
