The "most popular band in the world" is a bad term for them... a better term for them is "the greatest, the most epic and the most awesome band ever"!

The most popular band in the World

Good Singing, the best selling album is held by these guys

3 The Scorpions
4 The Monkees The Monkees were an American rock and pop band originally active between 1966 and 1971, with reunion albums and tours in the decades that followed.

Definitely my favorite on this list. Such a blast into the past, and the T.V. show is hilarious!

5 Mastodon Mastodon is an American heavy metal band from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in early 2000 and composed of bassist Troy Sanders, guitarists Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher and drummer Brann Dailor.

15 Iron Butterfly Iron Butterfly is an American rock band best known for the 1968 hit "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", providing a dramatic sound that led the way towards the development of hard rock and heavy metal music.
16 Modest Mouse Modest Mouse is an American rock band formed in 1992 in Issaquah, Washington, and currently based in Portland, Oregon.

I can't wait until 30 years later when Modest Mouse has broken up, the singer gets shot and everybody's realizing their genius. They'll be talking about Modest Mouse like we do the Beatles, selling 'Best of' albums and documentaries like there's no tomorrow, and Jeremiah Green and Eric Judy will be starting solo projects. Then Modest Mouse will be on the top of this list and in history books and some other bored girl will be wondering "what's so special about them? " and will have her own animal-name band she's voting for and will be writing this same exact thing.

Really, their name helps define their music. I think their music is amazing, but not only is their music amazing and unique, their name is too.

17 Cat Stevens Yusuf Islam, commonly known by his former stage name Cat Stevens, is a British singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, humanitarian, and education philanthropist.
18 Goatw***e
19 Porcupine Tree Porcupine Tree are an English progressive rock band formed by musician Steven Wilson in 1987. The band began essentially as a solo project for Wilson, who created all of the band's music.
