Can't say I agree with your GOAT selection as I feel Metallica went downhill after the Black album. Good band....just don't feel they are one of the greats.
G.O.A.T- I take into account touring, longevity and kick azz albums. No band is perfect, and my choice certainly isn't. But if I had to choose the best rock band ever......it would be Iron Maiden. I realize this will take into account what they did in the 80's, but no other band can match them as far as fan base, live shows, album sales...when you put all these together they simply have been the best. I would say U2 does eclipse them, but I have a hard time calling U2 a rock band. Just me though.
Personal Favorite: This is tough. I will go with the band that sold me on rock music.....KISS. I plan on seeing them on their final tour in 2019. I was five when I was introduced to them, and I have been a rocker ever since. I know they aren't the greatest, but they were the band that got me into the music.
Current Favorite: Nightwish- I think they are the best band out there right now. RED would be right there with them.
Old favorite that sucks now: This is where I would put Metallica. I just feel that they lost something after the Black album. I did love the album with the orchestra though.
Other: I will put U2 here, simply because I find them not to be a rock band....a great band with a great sound....but to call them rockers.
Most hated: Nirvana....simply because EVERYONE wants to put them up on this pedestal as rock gods. Solid band? Yes. Great band? Not really. Was Cobain a great lyricist? Yes he was, and I am sad his live ended way too soon. But they were not this great band. Just my opinion.
