Band A and its audience wouldn't exist. Bullticky.Canada is part of America, wise guy.
Bands better those who influenced them all the time. This idea that "Band A wouldn't exist without Band B, therefore Band B is automatically better" is ridiculous.
No. Television is awesome. Not the better nor more influential band.What era?
If you want to limit it to their contemporaries of the 70's - Television was a better band.
Ramones are top ten, regardless.If some of those are bands then I doubt The Ramones would make my top 30 or 40
After thinking about this more - they are probably somewhere in the 70-80 rangeRamones are top ten, regardless.
Metallica is ten times the band the ramones are, and the ramones are good.Metallica over the Ramones still making me
Keep wiping.Metallica is ten times the band the ramones are, and the ramones are good.
I named Beach Boys, K4. Then Ramones. Traditional American bands -- in the band sense -- nobody's better.Someone named The Beach Boys; I'll probably agree with that.
I'm going to add Big Star.

Top ten...loudest, perhaps. I saw them in 1988. Three minutes into their set...and I was running as though my mullet was on fire to the bathroom so I could grab a wad of tp for each of my ears (they were preparing to detach themselves from the sides of my head...sprout legs...and run for the nearest exit). I was relieved to find that I only missed about eight songs in the three minutes it took me to accomplish some relief. FWIW....only Bad Brains...a few years later...ranks higher on my 'loudest concert' list. Anywho...I'll posit they're a good band...but many (like Bad Brains) are better.Ramones are top ten, regardless.
I forgot Black Sabbath too.Hey dummies, read the question in the thread title.
