>>63763486
>velvet underground
What?
>>63763486
You're delusional. The Velvet Underground wouldn't even get played on the radio and Oasis was bigger than the majority of those bands
>>63763516
>>63763526
so fucking wrong.
do you realize how many people cite the velvet underground as a musical influence? probably just as much if not more than the beatles.
they're big in the sense that they had a wide-reaching, critical impact on the underground scene. they are one of THE big bands: maybe not commercially but critically
Biggest as in who packs the biggest stadiums? You can make a case for Coldyplay, U2 or Red Hot Chili Peppers
>>63763264
TAKE A LOOK AT THESE HANDS
Coldplay is probably the most successful band in terms of popularity.

That's the problem bro, the thread is talking about commercially. No one is saying they weren't influential, but we're talking about selling out big stadiums.
>>63763553
>>63763583
How retarded are you two? Do you not know what the word "big" means?
>>63763553
We're not talking about influence though, just popularity. Your list would be alright if we were talking about influence but we're not
>>63763436
Coldplay.
>>63763297
>>63763576
Are Imagine Dragons relevant? I know they had a bunch of hits with that pile of focus group shite album back in 2012 or something, but I haven't really heard about them since then
>>63763588

Something like this.
>>63763588
OP didn't specify. Big can mean anything
>>63763598
Yeah, I do. So do /tv/
>>63763602
I say we are talking about influence. Problem?

>>63763656
Kill yourself.
>>63763639
Maybe but FOB never got higher than 2x platinum and U2 probably fits in there somewhere
>>63763656
How could we even measure the most influential band in the world right now? You're being fucking retarded
>>63763682
I'd say U2 were as big as Guns'n'Roses from 87-91, and RHCP were probably the biggest band again from 06-08

i thought the fall out boys had a pretty weak reception to their new album and tour. i'm not saying they aren't big, but i think they're a lot smaller than they were c.2008
