So, we have the Big 4 of grunge (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains) and the Big 4 of thrash metal (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax).
Who are the Big Four of other genres?

Big 4 of arena/dad rock or whatever
>Boston
>Foreigner
>Kansas
Journey

>Big 4 of Prog
Yes
ELP
Pink Floyd
Jethro Tull

ELP instead of Genesis?

big 4 of industrial
>Nine Inch Nails
>Rammstein
>Marilyn Manson

The Classic 4:
>The Beatles
>The Stones
>Led Zepplin
>Pink Floyd

Big four of prog are
Pink Floyd
King Crimson
Genesis
Yes

I considered Genesis, if they're more deserving, they should be on that list instead of ELP. I'm not very knowledgable about 70s prog in all honesty.

oops

>Ministry

also supposing you are talking about mainstream impact, otherwise I'd take down Marilyn Manson and put KMFDM instead

> >Big 4 of Prog
> Yes
> ELP
> Pink Floyd
> Jethro Tull
I'd replace Pink Floyd with King Crimson just because a lot of Pink Floyd is pretty normie level.

>because a lot of Pink Floyd is pretty normie level
I thought that was the point?
The Big 4 = The Four most popular, not exactly the best.

Neil Young? Big four of folk? I don't think so. That guys known for the electric. I think we might have to contemporary to get the last one. Gee I wonder who.

The Classic what? Classic rock?

Yep right on cue. Who should we knock out?

Big Four of the British Invasion

What about Deftones?

who are the big 4 of college rock?

Not really familiar, I actually based the list on the most popular bands during its heydey

Korn literally invented the style.
And how could you leave Deftones out?

Post-punk

Pil
Bauhaus
The Cure
Joy division

deftones aren't really as big as those other bands

fucking trash tier list desu
>Ice Cube
>2pac
>Snoop
>B.I.G

Me neither but Deftones had a huge record last year. At least I thought so.

Hardcore punk

Bad Brains
Minor Threat
Descendents
Circle Jerks?
Discharge?

Deftones have never been really popular, and their style has evolved so much, they aren't totally in the Numental genre as the other listed ones are. Maybe I should have switched Korn and Slipknot

out of topic, but what genre would " The Misfits" be?

edgy teenager -core

Punk although you could go horror punk but still that discography is a very heavy hitter of standard punk. They're basically a Ramones rip off band for the most part.

>jungle
Goldie
LTJ Bukem
Omni Trio
4hero

how dare a band I don't like goof around with costumes
I knew it was "punk" something, but I never got to know what was that "something". I don't seem them close to Ramones at all. They have a hard rock element

No, Blondie?

If we are gonna talk about popular then Rush should go instead of Jethro Tull.
Both are great anyways.

Trip hop
>Portishead
>Massive Attack
>Zero 7
>Unkle

Bowery Electric might fit somewhere in there but I dunno if they've really had an impact on the genre.

I can't tell you how many "contrarian" teens I've seen wearing pic related.

>Zero 7
Tricky m8

F**K!!!!!

>diy
Daniel Johnston
R Stevie Moore
Ariel Pink
Avey Tare & Panda Bear

Good call on the jazz on, though I'd honestly switch Coltrane and Mingus with Armstrong and Duke Ellington

they probably don't even listen to it, Misfits is one of the most accessible "punk" bands around, they have a very mainstream sound to it

Do you like the new Tankard? I really need to rate it. Pretty impressive.

Who's the big four of No-Wave? Swans is of course a given

t. ignorant american

I'd say
>Biggie
>2Pac
>Nas
>Rakim? KRS? LL?

Yes, Blondie is a good fit. It's just that new wave blew up so much it's hard to pick only 4

There's Duran Duran, Eurithmics and a bunch of others you could put there as well

Pop punk
>Blink
>Green Day
>New Found Glory
>The Offspring

But there's a good case for Blondie inventing the genre

I'm in a small minority who insist that Black Flag never wrote a single hardcore song. And that's why Circle Jerks were formed and why they re-recorded Wasted. Black Flag "Wasted" is punk. Circle Jerks "Wasted" is hardcore punk.

now come on, where's tool?

How about MCR?

yes
