eraserheads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they shattered the door between the underground and mainstream para marinig ung iba pang magagaling na pinoy rock bands

I agree. The Eraserheads' songs allowed rock to be pop.

So, I say:

Eraserheads - for bringing rock back to the musical map
Wolfgang/Razorback (can't really take the two apart, IMO) - for bringing the bite back to rock
Juan dela Cruz - for making rock Pinoy

These are the big three. Can't get any other Pinoy band with the greatest impact than these three.

Oh... does VST & Co. qualify as a band?

Free... this is an excellent, excellent reply.

I only agree with you partly, kasi I don't consider Yano to be a band, I think they're more of a group of poets than a rock band... like how Patti Smith was as an artist.

That was worth PHP 0.02 for you

Old School Rivermaya

Sorry but the e-heads are so overrated

the eraserheads? the band that pretty much paved the way for local bands to get airplay on local radio when the airwaves were plagued by ballads, "overrated"? they deserve every credit that have been given to them. it didn't take good looks for them to get noticed by everyone (which is more than i can say for bands these days). all they had were their talent and a few songs about everyday life. unlikely heroes, that's the charm of the eraserheads. the four boy-next-door kids from UP who captivated the country with their music and changed music as we see it in the philippines. overrated, indeed.

i believe that the "old school rivermaya" would have to be the most overrated band in the history of filipino music. i believe that perf de castro and bamboo, though good musicians in their own right, hindered rico blanco's creativity and progress with the band. rivermaya has always been all about rico blanco, he penned the lyrics and wrote the music for the group. it's not easy being green, a rivermaya without bamboo and perf, is a testament to this. taking over vocal duties, rico blanco came out of his musical shell and started writing some of the most original, refreshing and beautiful songs of the decade, and continues to do so to this day. rico blanco deserves his place in the limelight. he is, and will always be, rivermaya. the new rivermaya is here to stay.

wolfgang? the band would have been great if they didn't have leslie gemora as their drummer. a shame, really, the rest of the band are gifted enough to handle their positions well. leslie gemora has got to be one of the worst drummers of all time. the way he attacks his skins are boring, **** and predictable, he doesn't lift the music at all. instead of adding subtance, he seems to strip it away from the rest of the band. a drummer should be able to make a good song into a great song. just listen to jimmy's stuff on the early pumpkin records.

P.O.T., though a great band in their own right, does not deserve to be labelled as "the greatest pinoy rock band of all time". in order for you to be the greatest, you would have to do great things. the band just hasn't done enough to be even considered for the coveted title. they've only released one album. one of their most popular songs from that album, "yugyugan na" is just a cover version of the original hit by the advisors. they were a band that had plenty of potential but never really got to tap into it as much. shame, really.

Yano, they could be considered as one of the greatest bands ever. why? alongside the eraserheads, they've influenced a lot of bands. also, they were able to take a slice of the scene as their audience back when everyone was still listening to ballads. their folk-acoustic-punk-rock approach is unique and pleasing to the ears. also, they were never afraid to speak their minds, their tongue-in-cheek lyrics often speak of corruption in the country, everyday life, joining rallies and activism, just to name a few. this honesty in their music has made their songs into anthems for the average young filipino. sick and tired of copping bullsh*te from everyone, it's good to stick it to the man while listening to Dong Abay screaming "TRAPO! TRAPO KA KASI!". Yano did what they did best, play what they want to play and sung about what they're going through along the way, which i find admirable. there are already too many scenesters out there.
