while i love metal, house, trance, and classical music. i would have to say that Queen, are the best band in the world. my reason for this, is that not only are they british (lol), but i can't think of any other band who have influenced not only music, but entire generations of people, and are still doing so.
whenever you sing "we are the champions", they wrote that. the same for "another one bites the dust".
there is no other band on earth that has written such iconic, epic, and generally anthemous songs.

Dream Theater comes in a close second, however...

lol @ miles
Something I learned today.
*for those that need more*
They influenced a crap-ton of bands
They have a 27 number one songs
They were the only ones to start knocking Elvis off his throne
Until them, I don't know of anyone who successfully mixed so many different instruments into their music
Their music is still enjoyed by multiple generations
I can, however, list a few favorites I have at this time. normally is a long list but I'll be conservative:
Agalloch
Dream Theater
Opeth
He is Legend
Oceansize
Ayreon
Blind Guardian
Cursive
Murder By Death
Between The Buried & Me's 'Colors'
KISS pwnt the beatles.
in the world

xavier rudd, one of my fav artists ever, seen him twice, the vibes in the gigs are always amazing- also inspired me to learn the didje, got cicrular breathing down now so i really kick arse
also these guys got my head nodding every time i have been to the edinburgh fest, seen em about 3 times there. You can hear them all the way up to the castle.

Rolling Stones.
Hands down. Yes, even you at the back in the Hendrix, Beatles and Elvis t-shirts. Bow down.

Echoes from Live at Pompeii

I will say the beatles, as a band is pretty high up there. And Gav makes a strong case with Led Zepplin.
* I can't figure out how to imbed the video, so here is the link.
David Bowie, Danny Lohner, Maynard James Keenan, Milla Jovovich, Josh Freese and John Frusciante all on one track.
Stuff like "Until them, I don't know of anyone who successfully mixed so many different instruments into their music"... Mozart or the London Philharmonic may have something to say about that.
Speaking of which, if you guys are claiming best based on influence and sustained listening where's do Mozart, Tchakovski, etc... fit in?
Meh, whatever.
Currently though my favourite band is Daft Punk. Can't stop listening to alive 2007.

but fuck i wish they'd grow up. trying to be hardcore = emotionally retarded. put a smile on your face or get therapy.
mitch! relativity is just another perspective. arguing over absolute truth on any level is futle.

Korn has also had a very big impact on my life as well.

oh ya, and he's always covered in blood...
actually at 1:19 you can see the vocalist of the best band in the world in that video
if it grinds or is heavy chances are it has been influenced by napalm death
amazed nobody has mentioned them yet. amazingly tight. amazing drummer, great messages and lyrics, and one of the best guitarists ever.
