Timeless rock/metal groups

[MetalSpine]

I want to know who the most timeless rock and metal groups of all time are to you. They can be new or old, heavy or melodic, balladic or screamy. Whatever, as long as you think they're timeless.

To me it has to be:

White Zombie/Rob Zombie
Aerosmith
Papa Roach
Apocalyptica

[lionelhutz88]

What do you mean by timeless?

[Permanent Solution]

I have to disagree with your entire list.

[Lunch]

I have to agree with Vince

[Shadius]

How is Papa Roach timeless? Surely they're the definition of disposable. They rode the nu-metal wave, were popular for a bit, but in retrospect, they're pretty cheesy.

Timeless implies not following a trend and just doing whats popular and doing something different which isn't done to death.

White Zombie and Apocalyptica yes, but Aerosmith was classic rock and roll and while they stood out, they were within what was going on at the time. Papa Roach was part of the rap rock/metal movement which was very much not timeless.

I can't even comprehend this.

Lol please give me a little more credit than that!

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Rage Against the Machine is probably gonna be timeless. So is Radiohead.

Please tell me what your avatar is from. I actually laugh every time i see it.

You can't tell but I'm giving everyone in this thread a blank stare.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Deftones could be in here as well.

Might as well talk about Tool.

Pixies

[EightMilesHigh]

The Flaming Lips.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Static-x

Rumdum Dumdum Dumdumdum Dumdum Dumdumdum Ooohhh!!!!

[illpressureurhinges1]

rage against the machine

[Luc214]

Rage Against the Machine is probably gonna be timeless.

That's a possibility. It's interesting that they are the only great band, indeed the only good band in a shitty genre.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Meh, if you're lumping them into the nu metal scene, there's still bands that stick out like Deftones who are quality.

[illpressureurhinges1]

That's a possibility. It's interesting that they are the only great band, indeed the only good band in a poopty genre.

and what genre is that exactly?

[Luc214]

Meh, if you're lumping them into the nu metal scene, there's still bands that stick out like Deftones who are quality.

I was thinking of rapcore/rap rock specifically.

And yes Deftones are great.

[Grumma]

Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
AC/DC
Metallica
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Bon Jovi

off the top of my head they're the big/major ones

[SuperID]

I dont know some of those should be taken off. They have a time, its now and it blows.

[The_Berzerker]

Metallica ( Minus the Saint Anger toilet paper)
Iron Maiden
AC-DC
Anthrax
Led Zeppelin
Killswitch Engage
Trivium
Arch Enemy

All will last the ages imho

This list, excluding Zeppelin, is hard to take seriously.

[Grumma]

They've all been around, and been big for 20+ years now.
I'd suggest they're all pretty much timeless

[EightMilesHigh]

AC/DC's songs are a lot more enjoyable when you imagine them being sung by an old women in a wheelchair swinging an oxygen tank.

[Grumma]

There must be a lot of people with a vivid imagination then.

[Clunge]

The Beatles
The Who
Hendrix
Frank Zappa
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Pink Floyd
Nine Inch Nails
Radiohead
Pixies

[Spiritofmosa]

smashing pumpkins

[Shattered_Future]

This list, excluding Zeppelin, is hard to take seriously.

You don't think Maiden will be timeless?

[Luc214]

I must have missed them being mentioned.

I honestly don't know though, metal isn't the most timeless genre, look how much it's changed since it started.

[JuggerKnoT]

metallica, SOAD, mudvayne, Mayrlyn Manson aka god

[Luc214]

We should have a special board just for these kinds of people.

Let me guess you're a long greesy haired dirty brown metal head that feels alone in a crowded room

[Luc214]

Only when I'm crowded by the mentally challenged.

[JuggerKnoT]

Your daddy is mentally challanged lol and urmum eats alot

[Luc214]

Wow that was pathetic.

[illpressureurhinges1]

you guys both need to get the hell over it and stop talking $hit to each other. its getting a little old

[Anglachel]

This entire thread is an epic failure.

[MetalSpine]

i'd hoped it wouldn't be. but it seems people prefer dissing other peoples opinions rather than just mentioning their own.

Who cares if person A doesn't think person B's ideas of timeless bands are any good, its person B's opinion.

[Luc214]

But if person B's idea of a timeless band is Mudvayne they don't deserve to have an opinion lol.

[MetalSpine]

And anyone who thinks like that doesn't deserve to be able to voice theirs. Timeless has different conotations to different people. Much like I think Papa Roach are timeless and nobody else here does, and I think led zeppelin are absolutely terrible but nobody else does. Different opinions, different tatses, different views and only morons stamp on another person's opinions.

[Luc214]

I was joking. It annoys me though because I see nothing timeless about them.

Timeless implies that the music transcends time, and I fail to see how a band born out of the current fad of nu metal can do that.

[Shadius]

Timeless acts that I can think of would be like;

Nick Drake
Jeff Buckley
Elliot Smith
Sigur Ros
Radiohead
Talk Talk's last two albums I feel are timeless too...
Tool's Lateralus perhaps?
Mars Volta's De-loused in the Comatorium?

The thing is, often bands have a song or album, or whatever that makes that period pretty obvious roughly when it's from, and production almost always at least subtely gives away the decade (or like 5 years) when an album was released.

And anyone who thinks like that doesn't deserve to be able to voice theirs. Timeless has different conotations to different people. Much like I think Papa Roach are timeless and nobody else here does, and I think led zeppelin are absolutely terrible but nobody else does. Different opinions, different tatses, different views and only morons stamp on another person's opinions.

You'd be wrong though. Anyone who listens to Papa Roach could tell you they came out of the nu-metal scene in the late 90's to the 00's. Not to mention that rock-rap is pretty cheesy, theres nothing timeless about cheese, rofl.

timeless dosn't mean "I think this band is good".

[MetalSpine]

You've got to bear in mind that to people of the current era, music like Mudvayne will seem timeless. I mean any fanboy or fangirl will think their favourite bands are timeless, even (god help me) Fall Out Boy and any other run of the mill, mass produced mainstream band ont he market.

It all depends on a multitude of things. Musical tastes, general likes and dislikes, ability to relate to lyrics, or even if a person has heard of a band. I know people who don't even know who bands like Aerosmith or Led zeppelin are.

Music is a viscious git for opinions lol

[masada]

mass produced bands like lamb of god right

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Radiohead, Faith No More, and Mr. Bungle

[Dimmu Burger]

Motograter. Period.

[MetalSpine]

mass produced bands like lamb of god right

XD If you like. I not bothered by what people think of my tastes in music, I just don't like it when ppl stamp on the opinons of others.
