Because he tries to be an enigma wrapped in a riddle?

I’d say he’s more of an enema wrapped in a spittle.

Actions speak louder than words.
And that's why I conveyed my answer in the form of interpretive dance.

My guesses would be….

Alt-J
Modest Mouse
Uncle Tupelo

With Bon Iver coming in a close fourth

I bet rob hates all these bands except maybe UT.

You a big fan of Nickelback?

I’m a Nickelback defender.  Not a fan, mind you - I don’t like their music at all - but I think it’s silly that they take the heat for that entire era of post-Nirvana radio “grunge”.  They’re no worse than 100 other bands from that era, just more popular.

And to their credit any time I’ve ever seen them address their status as “stand in to make a joke about bad music”, they say basically hey man, I get to travel the world and make a living playing music with my friends, who gives a fuck if other people hate us?

There are only three acceptable answers to the question “which band is the greatest Rock and Roll band of all-time?”

They are The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, or Led Zeppelin.

This is a pretty common take from people who have never dug too deep into music.

I do like Zeppelin though.  The Beatles had their moments.  I find the Stones boring.

I’ve listened to many hours of rock (many forms), classical, blues, bluegrass, country, jazz, opera. Even dabbled in playing guitar. I’m sure there are people much more versed than I am, but saying “I’ve not dug deep into music” isn’t really accurate. Those are the three greatest rock and roll bands. Period.

You can't say that about something that's that subjective.  That's dickish.

Sorry...

It's all a matter of opinion and what each person prefers.  I think you know that.

Do you know who you’re talking to?

Apparently not….

I do.  I don't think Tempo is stupid.  He's trying to Bernstein it by telling people that their opinions are wrong. 

I understand what he's trying to do.  It's pretty easy to diagnose, actually.

There's no available metric that can prove, one way or the other, who the best 3 rock bands are.  It's all subjective.  He knows that.  Again, he's not stupid.

I don’t think he is either, but I’m trying stop the next 20 pages of him defending an indefensible position. Basically trying to save you and the board from having to deal with all that 😂

Lol.  Well, Tempo knows his role.  If people choose to engage further, that's on them. 

You're seeing the kinder, gentler Jobu.  The one with patience.

I fucking hate this jobu

Don’t argue with me, argue with Google. Google the phrase “greatest rock bands of all-time.” Those three pop up at the top. It’s not a coincidence. Sure, “favorite” rock bands is very subjective. But consensus wise, they are easily the runaway top 3.

Obviously, I’m being a little hyperbolic; but it’s also mostly true.

Let me argue it this way. The Beatles (with some competition from the Stones) dominated the 60s. Led Zeppelin dominated the 70s. The 60s and 70s were clearly the heyday of Rock and Roll (even though in 2021 the 90s is probably my current favorite decade). The Stones were enormous that entire period, and have had unequaled staying power. Therefore; “The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones are the three greatest rock bands of all-time” isn’t that controversial.

When I did it, it was Zeppelin, Stones, AC/DC, Beatles. If I do it again tomorrow, it might be different.

So, no, consensus wise it isn’t objective at all.

Do it every day for a year. I’ll bet those three never leave the grouping. 50
