For me, it's between: Tool, Led Zeppelin, and Queen. Who you got?
The What?No, because their name isn't: "The Who."
You know I haven't gotten too into King Crinsom. Are there any songs that you'd suggest? I agree with you when you say they all have to be top of the line, which is why I feel Tool is one of the best. All of them are exceptional at their preferred instruments. Of the main reasons why I hold Tool in higher regard, as opposed to Zeppelin, is because while John Paul Jones is an overlooked and underrated bassist, Justin Chancellor is the far better of the two.Technically?
King Crimson, period. Every musician is a virtuoso.
Zep was broad and amazing, marvelous live, from what they say
Personally to be considered every member of a given group has to be a top of the line musician
Any style, really. I am more of progressive metal or doom metal fan myself.What style of music?
Do you have a preferred band, or any band (so to say), that is more complete than most others?Good list, Queen is up there at the top, but there is no greatest band in existence.
Too many great bands to even talk about whittling down the list to just one.
I' not sure what you mean by complete? As in, who's released the best tracks, has the best musicians, has the best overall discography, who's been going strong for decades?Do you have a preferred band, or any band (so to say), that is more complete than most others?
Excellent question. I mean 'complete' as in, bands that all members of the group, are exceptional if not more at their preferred instrument. As a doom/sludge metal fan, myself, I would definitely put Sabbath in that discussion. Dare I say even, Dio/Sabbath. Or Rage Against the Machine.I' not sure what you mean by complete?

I'd place Sabbath above Tool honestly.
I know Metallica are a band that many like to hate on, I once did, but if you want to talk about greatness, they're up there.
Iron Maiden aswell.
There are many others I'm forgetting, but that's off the top

Had the pleasure of seeing Slayer twice, incredible shows.Tool, Zep and Slayer.
I'd have to place Queen at the top for sure then.Excellent question. I mean 'complete' as in, bands that all members of the group, are exceptional if not more at their preferred instrument.

I wish I couldve seen the with Hanneman.Had the pleasure of seeing Slayer twice, incredible shows.
I can't include Zep, they're too musically dishonest.Tool isn’t even in the same league as Zep.
I'd have to place Queen at the top for sure then.
All excellent at what they do, Freddie could sing and play the piano quite well, and everyone of them could sing.
Although there are many bands who, every musician is a virtuoso... it's a hard thing to say for certain.
Personally, Sabbath with Dio at the forefront was Sabbath at their strongest. Heaven and Hell is their best album and Dio is probably the greatest singer of all time in my humble opinion.
I can't disagree with you on Queen and Dio Sabbath. All respect to Ozzy but Dio is such a special vocalist. I do think highly of Dream Theater (a band I have been meaning to explore more). Fortunately when I saw Tool live it was an almost flawless performance, granted it was at a fairly large festival.I'd have to place Queen at the top for sure then.

As a Prog Metal fan, I'd place Dream Theater in there. Recorded James is a great vocalist, but he's the Kirk Hammet of vocalists, always messes up live.
Still, they're all great at hat they do, among the very best. Not a musician alive who can they're much better than any individual member, save LaBrei(sp).
Dio was a giant among men when it came to his voice. Ive heard his personality was exceptional aswell. Glenn Hughes speaks highly of him.I can't disagree with you on Queen and Dio Sabbath.
