Bands with the highest musicianship
A band doesn't need to be filled with virtuosos to be great, but there's definitely an added kick to a band that blows your mind with just how amazingly they can play. For the purposes of this discussion, singers/vocalists are musicians.
For me: 1. Led Zeppelin Nobody has ever drummed like John Bonham, Robert Plant had one hell of a vocal range with the ability to shriek or sing gently whenever he pleased, and in addition to playing one mean bass John Paul Jones could play basically any instrument at a very high skill level...their recordings abound with his kick-ass playing of keyboards, mandolin, organ, guitar, recorder, etc. Oh, did I forget to mention a man named Jimmy Page? One of the greatest guitar gods ever, with flair, versatility, creative genius, etc. I love listening to this band baked and becoming overwhelmed by four virtuosos creating magic for my ears. 2. Cream Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker...enough said. 3. Deep Purple Ritchie Blackmore could pound out riffs and solos with a demonic frenzy, Ian Gillan could really wail, Jon Lord drove it all with some of the meanest keyboards ever played in rock, Roger Glover was a solid bass man, and just listen to Ian Paice's drum solo on "Made in Japan." 4. The Who My god, that rhythm section!...and Daltrey's voice Go.

And I'd like to add, since Floyd Zepp and Deep Purple were already mentioned:
Kalmah and Amon Amarth--Viking metal!! They're both melodic death metal bands, so they may not suit the tastes of any non-vikings, though they're very norse-mythical sounding, so I enjoy them. Mastodon--my favorite band, progressive/sludge and a whole lotta other stuff, write only concept albums, amazing music and concepts like Melville's Moby Dick...new album coming out 24th of march, more stoner classic rock, can't wait!! Gojira--been described as a French Mastodon, though sounds completely different...very heavy, interesting music. Neurosis, Procupine Tree -- probably most people know, I really enjoy them though. Opeth- a league above all other bands, simply amazing.

yes august burns red is very technical and they play their instruments very well
however i am shocked and appalled that no one has mentioned tool.....they are objectively the most talented group of musicians out there its one thing that their songs all sound amazing when they play together but if you really truly listen deeply to their songs you realize that each individual instrument on its own is brilliant and youd be satisfied just listening to that one instrument by itself....even if maynard sand a capella it would be a mindfuck they each play their instruments better and more creatively than any bands that have been mentioned or will be mentioned and im sorry thats not my opinion, its just a fact

Yeah to say TOOL is basically the most technical, bestest band ever is just insanely ignorant. There IS more than is played on your local hard rock radio stations, as some of you know.
Obviously more of the harder stuff is what comes to mind first, and I definitely have to agree that Dragonforce is a freak of nature as a unit. I'd say that a couple of the *current touring bands* that I'd rank up there are Widespread Panic & Umphrey's McGee. Both bands possess stellar members that know their way around a guitar/keyboard/kit/whatever. I will say that I don't necessarily think Pink Floyd and its members were all that impressive musically. Innovative, yes. But they really don't compare to the likes of Zeppelin, Frank Zappa & the Mothers, or even Cream or King Crimson when it comes to technical skill.

And is this live rock or album rock? Led Zep was probably the best album rock but they are not really very good live unless Jimmy hires more backup guitarists, because he dubs his albums soooo much to get that marvelous guitar sound he has. Probbaly the best live rock band I've seen is AC/DC but there's is not a real technical arrangements. Pretty easy stuff but sounds amazing. Never cared for live Rush, Moody Blues or Pink Floyd. Again they are just too technical to sound good live but sound great on the album.
I really prefer live artists. Thats where you seperate the men from the boys. Heart was a great live band.

I like Tool but not everything. I don't think you judge musicianship with how fast someone plays, live performance, or how long they've been around. What is the best to 1 person might be complete crap to another person. If you youtube LZ you will see they "borrowed" quite a few lyrics and song bits that could be considered unoriginal. I love LZ and they're in my top 10 but I think musical taste/opinion of musicianship is variant upon the individual judging. I mean I could say Tom Petty should be considered. Big fancy fast solos? No but I've never seen a stoned guy write so many consecutively great tunes, to this day. That takes talent. Any NIN album you hear is all Trent Reznor himself except for maybe drums. Musical genius. You have never heard NIN until you listen to The Fragile start to end or the instrumental Ghosts album or the emotional Still album. Def Leppard did harmonies so good and how many people didn't own Hysteria in the 80s? Awesome album. They're often overlooked as just another 80s hair band but I thought the production value of their work was awesome . Rock Brigade, Switch 625, etc etc. Van Halen I actually don't care for but the fact that Eddie taught himself guitar and is as good as he is ("Eruption" anyone?) impresses me.
surprised no 1 said the Beatles, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Zakk Wylde, Metallica, etc All bands in the first post I agree with too, Cream and The Who, legends.

The Fall of Troy
Thomas Erak is rediculous with the guitar Parkway Drive Hardcore Metal band with a sick rythyms. My fav drummer ive heard so far Led Zeppelin I think they are one of the best, but mainly because of their ability to play diversely
