Best all-time music group?

03-15-2003, 04:46 PM

I am listening to The Police and i have to say it brings up a flood of memories..

I think the all-time best group would either be The Police or The Eagles...

What do you think is the best group out there (of all-time)

Man, that is a rough question. I'd say the Eagles are definitely up there. I'd also place The Doors and The Band very high on any list.

The Beatles. No question.

Their body of work is incomparable to any other artist of the 20th century. They not only transformed popular music but were experimental before you even referred to bands as being experimental. They were constatnly one step ahead of everyone else. The Rolling Stones and the Beach Boys envied their extraordinary talent and both Pet Sounds and Their Satanic Majesties Request were created as a direct result of the recording of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Lennon/McCartney were the greatest and most prolific songwriting duo of the 20th century. Lennon is quite possibly the greatest lyricist popular music has ever seen. Their work has been covered so many times it's staggering... by greats like Frank Sinatra, Joe Cocker and Ray Charles.

Their influence will live for hundreds of years.

The beatles are awesome as well but all their songs have the same flavor and 90% are nothing more than the songs title sung as the chorus.
Pink Floyd is a close close second. If roger waters had never left they would be #1. Division Bell ruined Pink Floyd for me.

tomax

I beg your pardon? Are you fucking serious? You simply cannot be familiar with their work.

Listen to these songs:

1. Glass Onion
2. Happiness is a Warm Gun
3. Julia
4. Oh Darling
5. Here Comes the Sun
6. She Came in Through the Bathroom Window
7. Golden Slumbers/Carry that Weight
8. Because
9. A Day in the Life
10. I Want You
11. While my Guitar Gently Weeps
12. Something
13. I'm So Tired
14. Why don't we do it in the Road?

Shit, I could keep on going.... are you even familiar with these tracks? Or just "Love me Do" and "I wanna hold your Hand"?

When I see threads like this, I usually don't bother to bring up The Beatles. It's sort of like some awards where after you win it so many times, they don't let you win, anymore. It's almost not fair to count the Beatles because they are so far and above most others.

That is ABSOLUTELY incorrect. Not even close. I don't blame you for thinking that, though, because all the radio stations play the same dozen Beatles songs again and again. I can rattle off a long list of songs by the Beatles that are completely unique from one another. I'll bet you forgot most of them existed or maybe even never heard them.

oops, I see you already covered this ground I have one or two that are so obscure they make those look like a "Greatest Hits" album.

The most obscure/unheard these days:
1) One after 9:09 (most people have never heard of this, so you may not be familiar with it)
2) Run for Your Life
3) Rocky Raccoon

Some others:
1) Maxwell's Silver Hammer
2) Octopuses Garden
3) When I'm 64 (I actually hear this one on the air once in a great while)

Hehehehe... familiar with them all.

I have all 13 albums, both Past Masters, all three Anthologies and a shitload of bootlegs and rare live recording on MP3.

My love of The Beatles borders on an obsession. I have shitloads of books too.

The only thing I don't have is Live at the BBC.

absolutely. and i'm in a 'Beatled' out phase now but there isn't a musical artist or group who is even close to being mentioned in the same breath as them. You don't even have to like their music to give them their due.

That is hysterical what somebody posted that all Beatles songs sound the same - in a short period these guys pushed into all sorts of different things, they were influenced by other musical styles and innovated new music. Sgt Pepper's at the time was music nobody, nobody on the face of the earth, had ever heard before.

McCartney with Wings created more good music than 98% of the bands.

Lennon and McCartney are the best and most prolific songwriters of our time, any time. And we're talking only about 10 years these guys were together.

If you're familiar with One after 9:09, you must be a fan I love the Beatles. It's kind of hip these days to say the Beatles were overrated or they got more hype than they deserved because of the time period they showed up in, but I say: bullshit. The Beatles own all and we're not likely to see anything like it in the rest of our lifetimes. Probably not our great-grandkids', either.

Elvis is the solo version of the Beatles. He's been dead 25 years and he makes the highest-paid entertainers list every year.

Edit: let me clarify the Elvis remark. I am talking about in terms of influence and musical power. He was a fantastically talented entertainer, but he obviously relied more on other song writers and such.

But for me personally, if i had to be left with only one CD from one band/artist, would probably be The Police's Greatest Hits.

also a big fan of Aerosmith, just a great American rock n roll band.

Shit, it wasn't even that long. They produced more in a handful of years than any other band (in the same amount of time, that is). Other amazing and prolific careers belong to Bob Dylan, The Band, The Rolling Stones, The Guess Who, etc, but in general they all have had a lot more years to put their catalog together.

Joe,

I love the beatles and I have damn near all their albums. I stick by my statment most of their music has the same flavor. As for the 2nd part of my statement 10 out of the 14 you listed repeat the title over and over again. I heard an interview with paul mccartny(sp) where he said "The key to pop music in america is simple song titles repeated multiple time in the song"

Right. You own "damn near every Beatles album" and you are standing by a statement claiming they all have the same flavor. That statement is impossible to defend unless the music center of your brain is damaged.

agreed...that has probably been my most listened to CD

when i began learning how to play bass, i learned how to play every song on that album, as well as all of the songs on Rage against Machines first album

some good bands:

The Police
Sublime
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Beastie Boys
Nirvana
The Beatles
Tribe called Quest
Rolling Stones

I don't understand your point at all.

Sure, most of the Beatles songs have a phrase or title repeated but that doesn't give their entire body of work the same flavour. Show me a band that either doesn't repeat the title or a phrase at least once or twice in their songs...

Stylistically, no band is more diverse than the Beatles. No-one.

Sorry, but you are speaking nonsense.
