Best Rock Bands / Singers of the 21st Century
If extra-terrestrial life exists and they live like us then every living being in universe should listen to Linkin Park. LP is "band of bands". Their songs become famous very fast after released or leaked. Most Powerful rock band in NU METAL genre. I hope they return to their HYBRID THEORY & METEORA style in their 6th album because they were more successful in the NU METAL genre and can become the TITANS if they start playing HEAVY METAL.
This is just absolutely clear. The way how they can make impreesive music cannot be described by words. I'm just still more then sure that LINKIN PARK is the only band that can make ingenious, melodical and meaningfull music in every single genre. They're not the best in pop or whatever, but they are the best in Nu-metal, hardrock and all similar genres that are including rap, such as rap-metal and rap-rock. Nobody's better than them.
What a beautiful sound this band has. Cool and upbeat sometimes, as in "Hymn for the Weekend," rhythmic and beating in others, such as in "X Marks the Spot," or even emotional and slow, as in "Fix You." Chris Martin has a spectacular voice that can hit almost any sound. Their band has such an awesome, unique style of rock, original lyrics and titles, and haunting voices and melodies. I don't understand why more people don't listen to them. And it's not just the hits that are great: "Viva La Vida," "Paradise," or "Clocks. " It's every song they do: "Adventure of a Lifetime," "Birds," or "Life in Technicolor."
Why can't everyone sees just how much variety this band has
Right from the sounds that is combined with lovely acoustic guitar in Parachutes. And then beautiful piano in A Rush of Blood to the Head. The heavy synthesized X & Y, the ground-breaking Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. Finally Mylo Xyloto, which I haven't buy, but right from Every Teardrop is A Waterfall I know it's such a kick-ass.
Many bands failed with numerous songs.
They fail only in Princess of Chine
They should be at the top. They have showed different types of music.
Coldplay? Behind JB? People, grow up... This competition is for Rock Bands! Coldplay is the best!
Green Day revolutionised punk rock (along with blink-182) and made the genre worldwide popular. Its unfair to see overrated bands like Coldplay and Nickelback gain more fame as Green Day loses theirs. Whoever reads this, check out their songs and see how much better they are over Coldplay and Imagine Dragons (though I'm not saying they are bad, they're just way too overrated and stealing fame from other deserving bands)
Billie Joe is an incredible and inspirational singer and songwriter. Mike Dirnt is one of the best bassists of all time and Tre Cool is the best drummer of this century. Easily the best band of the century.
They are the best band and no doubt about it. How can be bands like Train and Skillet ahead of awesome Green Day. Linkin park is very good but not like green day at least.
Green Day is the best rock band I have ever heard. Their songs, lyrics, music is just awesome. Guys please vote for Green Day. I want to see them at the top
Their first album was a highly refined power pop album; it played around with lots of different instruments, sound effects, and other fun musical devices while still having catchy, singable melodies and great lyrics. Their second album was wrapped up in modern trends but didn't lose its wonderful experimental edge; it celebrated the art of the album while maintaining the appeal of each individual song. I know a lot of people that like Fun. because of their eccentricities, and an equal amount of people that like Fun. because of their mass appeal. Really excited to see more fun stuff as the century progresses ^_^
#1 Period in my mind
Nickelback Man they Are #1 no body is better in the 21st Century
Linkin Park and Coldplay Are probably the only 2 Bands in the 21st Century that might Beat Nickelback!
Then maybe Green Day but Nickelback is way Better then 90% of these Choices!
There are some Great Bands on this list
Like Linkin Park, Coldplay, Green Day, A7x, Daughtry, Simple Plan, Skillet, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach, Maroon 5, Seether, Rise Against, RHCP, Breaking Benjamin, Saliva, Matchbox 20, 30 Seconds to Mars, Jonas Brothers, and others But none Many Better the Nickelback!
"How did they get ranked lower than link in park they only had like one good song"
This is what a ton of people say about nickelback. And I say they had no good songs
Skillet is one of my favourite band great vocals by John cooper... Great music I love all albums collide, awake, comatose, rise... All songs are awesome drummer vocals are great... It deserve number 1 place... Please vote for skillet if you have good knowledge of music...
Skillet rocks! It is my favorite band, and I love all the songs! John's singing kills... Seth's guitar is too good! Korey's keyboards are wicked... And last of all, Jen's drumming and singing are awesome... Go Skillet!
Daughtry deserves higher...
Were good but they became pop once the new decade started
They are pop band
Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (Drums), their most notable drummer, passed away in 2009, being temporarily replaced by Mike Portnoy, who was replaced by Arin Ilejay, who was finally replaced with Brooks Wackerman. A common phrase for fans "foREVer" was created after the Rev's death in his remembrance. ...read more.
A7x is the best rock/metal band.
What, he does not make rock songs, he is not a rock band, he is a single artist, and HE SUCKS
How do you kick someone off a list?
He should be rated number 100
He doesn't even do rock...
Best British rock band! They should be on the Top 10 List. By the way how the devil did JB be on the Top 10?
So upset! Why this is so far?
Evanescence is an awesome band. Amy Lee has clean, angelic but powerful vocals. Their lyrics is awesome. Whenever, I listen to them, my mind drifts off someplace else.
How the hell is JB on 15 or even in this list? And how is Evanescence BELOW the king of failure?
Amy is the best female singer.
This is an abomination. How in the hell are they @ 22 and more so below Justin Bieber when he doesn't even sing rock. This is easily one of the best bands of the 21st century. VOTE!
How the hell are they not even on the top 10?
My Chemical Romance was one of the most important bands of the 21st century.
Only number 27?! They're probably the most amazing, inspirational band EVER.
There's no way Bieber is higher than these guys
Only 31? Their music is great. I love it.
