Is there a band better than…

[Contactlesslenses]

The Jam

No, I don’t think so. Amazing lyrics, amazing tunes.

Who is your amazing band?

Duran Duran better than The Jam!?

Duran has strong melodies but the lyrics are dire. Even SLB doesn't know what The Reflex is about - he literally made up nonsense

No I didn’t say that. OP asked who is your amazing band. The Jam were a bit before my time and I’m not a huge fan though. 🤷‍♀️ Not really my genre. Same as The Who or The Beatles or Queen. That’s all.

At the moment, my favourite band is Halestorm but it changes

Can you only be an amazing band if you have lyrics that are meaningful though? 🤔

God, Muse would be doomed if you looked too hard at the lyrics! 🙈🤣 And Matt's diction is awful. Still an amazing band (though the last album left me cold).

I think a load of bands would be off the so called ‘amazing’ If it was excellent lyrics you were after and not ‘made up nonsense’

Bohemian Rhapsody anyone?

A very weird mixture of Nightwish, M83, Aerosmith, Hollywood Vampires, Foo Fighters.

Oo I love Nightwish too. And within temptation

The Smiths for me... everytime!

@soubriquet, have seen nightwish numerous times, have tickets for their December concert so hoping that goes ahead.

OP, you're wrong.

Queen are definitely up there. My newest discovery is Maneskin, who are absolutely amazing.

As others have said... Biffy Clyro. See them live next week, can't wait.

MON THE BIFFY

Honourable mention Pearl Jam.

The Communards, Dexy's Midnight Runners,The Pogues,The Proclaimers ànd yes -The Jam of course!

FooFighters! Best band ever.

Yes of course The Jam. Very pleased to see a mention for Dexys too.

Editors
Brilliant live
Tom Smith has the voice of an angel and the dance moves of a t-rex

Seriously, he has the best vocal range - 4.75 octaves
Adore them

Love them so so much

@ILookAtTheFloor, are you going to Margate? I'm going to Glasgow and then Liverpool in October. I am very impatient to get my Biffy fucking Clyro fix!

Yes, going to Margate can't wait!

We reckon they were literally scouting round for anywhere that would let them play! I can imagine they've driven their wives bonkers not being able to get out on tour for so long. 😂

Can't believe I forgot Creedence Clearwater Revival

Guns and roses
Motley Crue
Amaranthe
Delain
Without Temptation
Kamelot

Defo The Smiths. Saw them live back in the day, and still love them

Queen nothing better imo

@IamEarthymama - I've seen them more than anyone else, upwards of 15 times. Once went to Proms in the Park when they were playing and danced like a loon .
