    Presumably you mean most popular current rock group, as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin would have blown away any of your bands. Also, what's the demographic? Hate to break it to you, but there are more fogies like me around who like older rock groups than there are kids who like the ones you listed. (That being said, I'm partial to Linkin Park, Foo Fighters and Metallica, I just think the Beatles or the Stones are still more "popular" even now because there are more baby boomers and others that still like them.)

    Well at the time I couldn't think of any others but I also like the beetles, never heard the rolling stones and I like U2 a lot as well. as for popularity there been compared with each other.

    But one of the options is "other" for other groups I missed I assume that was what you chose DMC :)

    Ahhh, how I fondly recall my teenage angst-filled years when I wore my hair down, and listened to the 'before they sold out' Metallica, Kiss, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, the Stones, Led Zeppelin, and others besides. Sadly, this poll doesn't accommodate my lingering attachment to this part of my youth.

    I voted for other, for Queen is, has always been, and will forever be my favorite rock band.

    But if I have to choose a rock band from nowadays, I would vote for The Darkness. I heard a few of their songs, and they sound pretty good. (Also considering that U2, even though they still make songs, isn't a rock band from 'nowadays')

    Out of those; Linkin Park is probably the most popular, but all of those bands (with the exception of the FooFighters maybe) have a large amount of people who detest them.

    I believe that you have listed way too few bands, and am voting other. Specifically - Evanescence is probably the most popular rock band at the moment, though that probably won't last long.

    But then, if we're going for the names of bands which pretty much everyone has heard of, regardless of whether they like them or not (if that is how you define popular), they would be the old bands such as Queen, ACDC ect.

    I still say U2, because I think they are still nowadays, their new album will come out soon.

    Keep in mind most popular, not the one you like best. Most people I know will have never heard of Muse.

    Hmm, yes... I didn't really think that through, did I?

    With most *popular*, I'd probably say Red Hot Chili Peppers. Most of my friends like them. Even my parents do. :D

    You needed to define it a bit better. Did you mean "favourite" or "popular"? And if "popular", do you mean ever, or currently? and with whom? As dmc says, there are lots of ways this could go.

    With the choices listed id go metallica(old) as my favorite.

    Most popular out of those is probably Linkin Park.

    [​IMG] I still Miss Rage Against the Machine...A live cd of their last concert came out recently, and it reminded of how much raw power they had in their music! Chris Cornell and Audioslave is good - but they don't come close to the original RATM! Kinda like Van Halen isn't the same without David Lee Roth.

    It's very comforting to see that Limp Bizkit as yet has 0 votes. Good taste is not lost on SP. :thumb:

    Well I never expected LB to be a serious contender. I had to choose between Linkin Park and LB yesterday as a cd so the choice was simple enough, and also I used to be a fan of LB what the F* was I thinking?
