The Beatles - Best Rock Band Ever?
 

Are the Beatles the best rock band ever?

I tend to agree with this :)

I'm more of a Stones kind of dude

My pick is U2...

They're the most influential rock band ever. "Best" is subjective.

Nope... :2 cents:

they are everything that put the two words rock and band 2gether. Respect!!!

i vote for the Stones

It's all a matter of opinion. I personally love Rush, but millions of people would disagree with me. You know what? FUCK them! Let them listen to Barry Manilow if they want. I'll listen to Rush.

I am on QUEEN !!!

Led Zeppelin is the greatest rock band ever.

Big Fat NOT!!

No, i hate them...

I would vote "yes."

Correct.

I vote for Beatles.

well, at least is the band who had this very same thread started 5000 times in this and other boards, so I guess so :thumbsup

Definitely, no question.

They sure are.

People dont remember the music they created was totally brand new, there was no precedent.

I dont think so.

They were very over rated.:2 cents:

hands down they changed the way music was made stones and zeppelin would have existed without them but i am in on the Rush thing way underrated

Well... since Guns N Roses were the best ...

no. The Beatles aren't and weren't. Ever.

I never seen them live but of course there music is great..but for acts I was able to catch Stevie Ray Vaughan pretty much rocked all others..

It depends on what years you were a teen.

For me Van Halen, Bon Jovi, The Stones, Aerosmith, U2 & Guns & Roses mean 10X more than The Beatles.

That's the problem, few here will of listened Sgt Peppers, White Album, Rubber Soul the day they were released. Without that experience the opinion is subject to the influences THE BEATLES had on the music that followed.

The mere fact that people are asking this question nearly 40 years after they split up is testimony the their influence. Who ever asks if of other bands, like Oasis. :1orglaugh

YARGH! MERCYFUL FATE! King Diamond! Are you a fan?

For me not, they are too boaring

Queen was far more inventive, but the Beatles improved with like each new album.

no, not a chance!

You have my vote!


Mr. Romance

Damn close

Yea I would agree with this!!!

No they were a bunch of untalented hippies ... the only reason that entire generation (around the 1960s) still likes their shit music is because all of them were so high back then that they were trippin. So its only natural that they associated the "good times" they were having back then with the shit music they were listening while getting high.

It would be the same shit if we get all the teenagers of today high every fucking day for the next few years and have them listen to whatever is "hot"" right now (Paris Hilton or whetever kids listen too these days). After a few decades they will still look upon the "good old days" of getting high and listening to the magical tunes of Paris.

Thats my opinion ...

And as for the best rock band ever ...

Pink Floyd or Dire Straits or Deep Purple

OR

If my theory above is right then its the band that i was listening to while growing up and being high ... so its Guns N Roses

:pimp

Right on brother ... You have my vote ....

Yes but, but Led Zep comes to mind too.

Beatles is classics. For me not the best rock band ever, but they are almost the first popular team.

They weren't exactly a rock band. Beatles were Beatles, a separated music genre according to me with more impact and worldwide influence than any other band ever.

Thinking about you just typed, "a separated music genre ", you cannot compare it. Even before the deaths of John and George they held that spot.
