Red Rock gig did the job. Simple Plan are a good band and no more.

I agree GG, it has to be U2.
No bands` albums are more keenly awaited.
I often ponder whether it was the Red Rock gig or Live Aid that cemented their eternal footing.

U2 is without question the biggest band in the world, for many reasons.
Really no matter what the click is on you tube can a throw-away, inane "Emo" band that might be able to sell out a theater if they are lucky, be mentioned in the same sentence with a band that is still relevant and can fill stadiums everywhere?
Bands like Simple Plan exist because of hype from some of our friends that no longer have jobs.

They are rather played a lot under this roof here.

I think the biggest bands are the ones which even most non fans have heard of. e.g. The Rolling Stones. They cut across age groups, nationalities, and each member is a pretty much a household name.
