i would say coldplay and u2
also green day their bad but so many people like them. people think that their punk but no band is punk any more. the sex pistol are punk rock.
nivana also, i know that everyone likes them and stuff, i never really got into them. my brother listen to them all time i dont how he can stand it
I totally agree with these choices. I'd add Metallica (they have some good songs, but trash metal is worth its name IMHO) and Slipknot (commercial crap).
