I know that "best" is a subjective term. I want this to be based on speed, technique, etc. However, when it is too hard to choose who is "better" than another, base it on harmonic and melodic content of their shredding.

I guess it would depend on your music preference, really. I think that if you're really going to look at the music for its artistic quality, their newer albums are better. I think to look at it from this respect, "Sick, Sad Little World" has to be one of their greatest songs.

To those who do think it exists, it's short for emotional, and it's brought out a whole mess of bands who say everything sucks. It's clear to fans that the style exists, but who exactly fits in the categories is somewhat hazy.

Often, especially in "Society & Culture", the person isn't really asking a question.  They are going to pick whoever agrees with their pre-determined answer.  So even when your answer is actually "best", it doesn't get picked.  Sometimes upsetting, though, I agree.  If it is a really ridiculous case, I'll usually leave a comment.

Try spreading the word by putting up banners of his band on your websites.  Some people no madder how good their music is just don't properly advertise themselves sometimes, or they just prefer to stay "underground".

That's like trying to say what your favorite movie is..  it's just not possible.  A top 10 list in any particular genre is probably more fair. \n\n It's rather futile, songs tend to have a shelf life of a few months until you get sick of them from overplaying , so that list is going to keep changing and changing.

"better" is the better answer in both instances as the comparison here is between two.\n\nWe use best in the following instances.\nHe is the best boy in the class.\nBali is the best resort of the three.

Not only music bands but rappers also. Example busta rhymes, tech 9, 50 cent, too short, snoop doggy dogg etc. I guess it's a good way for fans to remember their names. If your name is like John Smith, it doesnt catches people's attention that much. Sometimes the names doesnt even match with the band like Savage Garden? Nothing is savage when you actually hear what they play. More like soft garden to me.

It's hard to pick the perfect answer, especially since some of the answers are subjective. For instance, if I asked someone for what they thought the BEST place to eat was, I can't really qualify that. So that would probably be left up to a vote and take a consensus. \n\nAs for picking answers myself, if there appears to be a lot of thought put into the answer and it includes sources, all the better. The questions that I've personally asked, thus far, usually there has been one answer that typifies this. Now, if I received several long responses that have merit, I would be inclined to let the users pick.

muse is good but its a little close minded to say that they are the best ever. even muse will say that they were inspired by some great artists.

Nirvana is pretty good, and it's cool that you like them enough to learn alot of their songs. My recomendation, learn the more popular Nirvana songs, and your favorite songs, and then branch out to some other artists. If you ever play guitar for your friends, I am almost positive they would rather hear a variety of music rather than just nirvana over and over again.

Start out with the ones generally accepted as the greats.  Mind you accepted by intelligent people, not the people who listen to Snow Patrol of Britteny Spears.\nMy favorites are:\nLed Zeppelin\nPink Floyd\nThe Beatles\nTool\n\nStart with those and work from there.

I asked my neighbors son last night ,hes 16 and its all about the screaming.He said the lyrics dont mean $hit its just about the music!Ill agree on the fact that some of these bands have talented musical songs with great riffs and awsome drums but WTF are they saying?Sorry Im older 43 but i still rock and im not going to go to a lyric site to find out what theyre singing(if you wanna call it that).I listen to everything and im just having a hard time with the whole screaming thing.Just imagine how great these metal bands would be with say david coverdale or Rob Halford singing.I like the sound ,i mean these bands totally jam but the screaming doesnt work for me.

i would tend to agree with kkum viola because the cello would be a whole octave below and the bass even an octave or two below the cello it has been awhile since i took any strings class so don't rely on everything i say

People will always believe what they think is the best track to follow. You can argue until you are blue in the face and not convince them that what they believe in is wrong.\nPropaganda is rife.
