i was just wondering, how many of you out there think skillet is a cool band, but not the best band in the world?? if you do think that, than tell me who you think is better than skillet...

No.


....

i think that u cant reely deem one band that title.

><sarah><

True......

I wouldn't say their the "best band" in the world others might differ, but they are a good band.There are a few other bands I like more than them. Such as Dead Poetic, Him, Afi, Breaking Benjamin,and Spoken etc.

I don't like saying that they are the best, because that doesn't allow room for future bands, you can't say that a band is "the best" because some bigger band might come by . . . :D

The "best band" is a matter of opinion. Regardless of who the most popular band is, there will always be someone who doesn't like them. I honestly don't think Skillet is the best, but they are my favorite and I'd rather listen to them than anybody else.

Bands that are better than Skillet:
In General:
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
The Doors
Cream
The Beatles
The Kinks
The Eagles
About 29385249 others I can't recall. Then again, Skillets better than a lot of bands.

Metal Bands that are beter:
Metallica
AC/DC
Megadeth
Slayer
Isis
Iron Maiden

Again, it's really all about opinion in the end. To some people, Skillet might be the best band in the world. Some people might not like bands like Zeppelin, Floyd, or The Doors. What your opinion is might differ against what someone elses is. ;)

I'm with sky_flashings on this one. Skillet isn't the "best", but they're my total fav. And to me, they are the best. But that's an opinion. :)

There is no best band in the world because of the difference in genres they all cater to. Also because there are a bunch of idiots who act like they have superior music tastes and also, kids who only listen to bands that are popular. Well, there's really no sense in having those people be the judge of it. ;) Don't take any of this personally, I'm just generalizing. Everyone has an opinion.

For me, I don't even have a 'best' band. Skillet was my first 'favorite' band because of what they did for me. Their lyrics and music have done more for me than any other band could. And that's just me.

i like Thousand Foot Krutch and Skillet equally... possible TFK a tiny bit more... :)

Nope, I like them but they aren't the best (to me), I like Guns n' Roses, Thrice, ACDC, Aerosmith, Blindside & a bit more bands more, but who cares..skillet still rooocks!

i was just wondering, how many of you out there think skillet is a cool band, but not the best band in the world?? if you do think that, than tell me who you think is better than skillet...
wow thats kindof a dumb thread

skillet is dropping on my list cause they have been leaving thier fans in the dark for..... many moons... anyways skillet still rocks my face off...

ha ha ha, we mear mortals don't deserve new letters . . . mwa ha ha ha!!! :afro:

skillet is my favorite band now is it the best most likly not but in my opion they are up there

Skillet is really good. I love them, and I love the members. It's an amazing group of people. Though things like this are a matter of opinion and discussing it will go nowhere because I'm guaranteeing no one here has the exact same opinion. That would make life boring.

Skillet is amazing and Id rather listen to them than anything else to be honost besides Relient K I love them but to me as my opinion Skillet and Rk are my favorite right now. and the best but once again that is ones opinion

well the only prob with that is that you are talking about bands in general...i mean, are you asking for the best metal band the best rock band, the best pop band, the best country band, ect.

Mmm... My opinion would be no. Skillet used to be my favorite but now I have quite a few who I like more than them.

I think that Skillet is great. They've been my top fav. band for about 5 or 6 years. But, that might change. You can't really say that their the best. they have their good and bad points.

Put on your little sarcasm hats, lest your literal feelings get stomped on...again...

Is Skillet really the best band? Why stop there? Why not ask, for example, whether or not the Pope is really Catholic?

Seems a few feelings would be hurt by such a question, no? Don't be surprised, then, that I would be upset by someone telling me that Skillet isn't the best band out there.

skillet is dropping on my list cause they have been leaving thier fans in the dark for..... many moons... anyways skillet still rocks my face off...
Ahh, but why send newsletters out every month with nothing but the same things in them?

"Another month, still working on new stuff. Still doing festivals. - J-Dawg"

When there is news to be given, they usually do it pretty quickly. At the release of Collide, we were getting constant newsletters from them probably every 2 weeks or so. When they get closer to getting the new album finished, your inbox will be full of Skillet news. ;)

CJ

yeah, they are working hard on their new music. and little Xavier and Alex are keeping the Coops busy too.

they aren't leaving their fans in the dark. they are working hard to record in the fall a new cd...new material to rock faces with. :)

i don't believe one band is the "best in the world." as far as Skillet, their music and ministry is very close to my heart.

skillet is dropping on my list cause they have been leaving thier fans in the dark for..... many moons... anyways skillet still rocks my face off...
what would they say when nothing is happening? "well today i tied my shoes after i went potty"

Leaving their fans in the dark? What's that supposed to mean?

sry people but yes i do think skillet is the best band in the world

I know Skillet is the best band at least in my little world ;D .... and reading down the posts I run into a nice little list of the bands that were precisely what I dumped in favor of Skillet .... and once listened to them longer than most of ya'll been alive :P

Bands that are better than Skillet:
In General:
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
The Doors
Cream

ahhh...no. Not the best. I agree that you can't really have a best band. Best bandS you can have, and I DO believe that Skillet is one of them, especially in light of Collide (the whole album)...I mean...there aren't words.
along with them are people like...Blindside, Nightwish, ummm....Chevelle,...a bunch of others...and of course, as always:
The Moody Blues.

I would say that to me they are the Best Band, for right now. That might change, along with my tastes, b/c Newsboys used to be my favorite band until I got into harder stuff, Like Skillet. Skillet is my favorite band and has been for a while, and I don't see that changing anytime in the near future. I can't wait for them to release something new, but until then I will keep rockin to Collide. :D

i like Thousand Foot Krutch and Skillet equally... possible TFK a tiny bit more... :)

*gaspeth!* no way, jose!!! haha, I respect that, but to me, all of the tfk songs sound the same... :D

You dumped those for Skillet? I'm sorry.

Ive decided in my world SKILLET is fosho the best band ever like period like ever i mean yeah I LOVE SKILLET... THEY ARE THE BEST since umm Yeah Petra pretty much... SKILLET ROCKS, but that is in my little world of who knows what

i was just wondering, how many of you out there think skillet is a cool band, but not the best band in the world?? if you do think that, than tell me who you think is better than skillet...
SKILLET owns all them other bands!!! Well from my point of view

Skillet would rank as my second favorite band. Seventh Day Slumber takes the spot as first. SDS and Skillet are very similar, but SDS edges out.

Though things like this are a matter of opinion and discussing it will go nowhere because I'm guaranteeing no one here has the exact same opinion. That would make life boring.
Quoted for truth.

Yes Skillet is the best band in the whole world. They Rock.

skillet is the best band in my world...Too bad I could hardly utter a "hi" when I saw then *sighs* i felt so immatture! Hopefully if I see them for a thrid time I will be able to maybe say a "how are you"...lol take baby steps I say

Without a doubt skillet is the best band in the world right now. Yeah i agree that there are other great bands with music that might be better but none of those bands (Zeppelin, The Doors,Pink floyd, etc.) proclaim god's message so powerfully. I mean yeah there are lots of christian bands but none rock as hard as skillet. So yes in my opinion i think skillet is the best band in the world because of the loud powerful way they proclaim God.

I had some witty post here a minute ago where I tried to compare Skillets fan followiing/record sales with that of Led Zeppelin and The Beatles. You know, it's really not worth it. I don't care enough to fight with you guys about a band that's fairly big in the Christian world being better than the secular bands that have attained the most record sales, and have won countless numbers of awards.

I've had more people than I can count tell me that they listen to Christian music only, or think that all Christian music is better than secular music simply because secular isn't about God. That's a really interesting way to alienate yourself from the rest of the world. Why don't you just create a seperate internet called "Christiannet" so you don't have to deal with all the problems that the "Secular" internet has. You could also seperate yourself from the secular world by creating your own set of cable television channels to replace the secular ones. You could also replace every secular news network with your own news networks free of those big bad liberals.

Music's music. It's designed to sound good, so as long as it's not singing about overly negative things, what's so bad about music that isn't about God?

Yes skillet is the best band in the World. I agree that some of those other bands (Zeppelin, The Doors, Van Halen, Pink Foyd, etc.) May have better music but they do not proclaim a Godly message. Skillet is the best band because they Proclaim gods message loud and clear and it is not boring hallelujiah choirs or slow music, i mean come on they rock! So basically i think they r the best band but they need to amke another album soon. 8)

What is your problem sometimes, Greg? Honestly. I listen to whatever I want. Chances are, I'd still like some music that proclaims God (because sometimes I want that message.) even if it didn't happen to contain some of my favorite music anyway. bBut, the majority of the time, I'm listening to music for entertainment. You know what? I think the Beatles suck. So do (most) of my friends, Christian or not. I'll agree they were revolutionary for their time, and started trends that have had influence into today's music. But I could care less, when it's not what I like.

Same with Led Zeppelin, really. Though, I wouldn't outright say they suck (in my tastes) as I would the Beatles. In any case, since when, pray tell, has record sales ever been a concrete indicator that certain music is better than other music? It can be a general clue, but nothing solid. As far as Christian stuff goes (like Skillet), they actually have that working against them when trying to compete for sales against mainstream bands that are in the spotlight.

I really could care less. Skillet is what I like. Collide is one of my top 5 favorite albums regardless of message, and even awsomer for it's inclusion. It's ridiculous to get up in arms about someone liking something better than what you'd say is the best (especially on a Skillet fan site), and it's even more ridiculous to start assuming things about Christian exclusivity that are not even present.

Collide, as I already said, being one of my favorite albums ever, I'm obviously going to like Skillet more than that entire list you posted. And, for that matter, I could care less about most of those bands anyway. That's me, so what do you care? you're the only one "fighting."

Fighting? I said "It's honestly not worth it". If that constitudes fighting, well I'm sorry I fought.

ummm.... yeah, id say skillet is the best... but there are a few that come close.... blinside and demon hunter are pretty close but skillet is still the best..

Well, I agree. With both of you.

I see what Greg is trying to say. I certainly don't understand why so many Christians are totally against listening to any secular music at all. I mean, really... why is that such a bad thing? As long as it doesn't have a negative or bad message, why NOT listen to it? So many Christians seem to think that listening to any type of secular music is bad and will totally ruin your walk with God. You hear stuff like this much too often...

Christian 1: What do you think of this band?
Christian 2: Are they Christian?
Christian 1: No.
Christain 2: They suck.


On, the other hand, I do see your point too, Amos. Everyone listens to what they want to hear, and what makes them feel good. They can if they want, that's their choice.

i was just wondering, how many of you out there think skillet is a cool band, but not the best band in the world?? if you do think that, than tell me who you think is better than skillet...
of course skillet isn't the best band in the world is...SILVERCHAIR IS!!!

Best Christian band IMO... infact the only Christian band I like. But there are a few other bands I really like and it would be hard to really to say which is the best since they are all pretty differnt as far as music style.
