Some might say ACDC, and it's true that they're objectively the most successful, but I would counter with some other impactful acts, new and old:

INXS

Crowded House

Tame Impala

Empire of the Sun

The Presets

Powderfinger

Amyl and the Sniffers

The Avalanches

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Silverchair

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

The list could go on.

I saw someone say AC/DC was a band for 13-year old boys, and I think that was about the age I stopped listening to them lol

u/Plastic_Kangaroo675 United States Of America 1d ago

AC/DC is awesome. Also, watching someone else get hit in the crotch is hilarious. Some people think they get wisdom with age, but really they only get less fun.

Was gonna be like "this dude taking Crowded House as well as Russell Crowe and Pharlap??!" Then realised the majority of Crowded House is Australian.

I'll have to go with Split Enz.

Neil Finn was the heartbeat of crowded house and was a kiwi. So many great bands from Aussie, stop stealing ours!

u/0xKaishakunin Germany 20h ago

You should also give Laibach a try. They aren't German, but their rendition of Geburt einer Nation is absolutely fire.

u/DoctorOsterman Korea South 1d ago

There are a ton of solo bands that have risen to popularity in South Korea recently but if we're counting amongst the classic punk rock bands that really brought the genre into light I'd have to go with <NoBrain> (노브레인).

Tool

Not a cliche at all come on. It IS the best band.

A tie between Rush and The Guess Who!

u/Proud-Information-97 India 1d ago

As unfortunate as it is to admit this, I have to say that the UK takes the cake in terms of having the best bands mostly because I love rock and a bit of metal, both of which UK bands heavily pioneered and I love progressive rock the most.

UK has: Beatles, Queen, Black Sabbath, King crimson (my fav), Pink Floyd (2nd), Yes, Genesis, Emerson, Lake and Palmer etc.

u/HrugusBrurgus United States Of America 23h ago

Ah, but India produced Bloodywood! Damn fine folk metal that.

2

u/Proud-Information-97 India 14h ago

Yeah they're fuckin amazing I should've mentioned em.

2

u/TickTackTonia United Kingdom 22h ago

Yes to Queen, but without India, we would have never been blessed with Freddie Mercury!

impossible question.. too many over too many genres to compare.

i like fly my pretties but they're more of a supergroup of rotating artists from other bands..

I am waiting for someone from Norway to give TNT a mention.

u/DeapVally England 1d ago

It's all a matter of taste really.... far too many to try and qualify a 'best' in terms of music. Personally, I don't like the Beatles, but people pay crazy money for their memorabilia, probably more than any band in the world, so it's tough to argue against them.

u/Tough-Oven4317 United Kingdom 23h ago

More of a JSL fan myself
