The Beatles are most certainly one of the greatest bands ever but the greatest?  Sorry.  That distinction belongs to (it's a tie) U2 and Pink Floyd.
Hahaha you're a funny guy.




colouredin -> RE: Les Beatles! (1/27/2009 11:15:42 AM)

U2 and Pink Floyd!!!??? On what basis?

But seeing the way this thread is going I'm going to nominate Air Supply, Kajagoogoo and Haircut 100.

While I am not ready to nominate the Beatles or any other band the greatest ever (too subjective,I happen to like Led Zep,but thats just my opinion)the Beatles are easily the most influential rock band in history.As one earlier poster noted ,everything changed after Sgt.Pepper....nothing that came before could compare,nothing that came after wasn't in some way influenced by.




Lucylastic -> RE: Les Beatles! (1/27/2009 12:36:24 PM)

Rick Astley and milli vanilli are the best ever known(sorry to their fans)

As for the original post... I prefer my pre beatles influences, eg jazzz, blues, new orleans ragtime etc, but the beatles are the most influential in the past 50 years in my humble opinion.

Most Seriously.  I was ahead of the curve with U2, I've been listening to them since before they hit the big time courtesy of a friend who spent some time in Ireland and sent me some tapes with a note attached... "you've got to check this out!"



..oh come on, everything after "Under a Blood Red Sky" was bloated stadium rock. [:D]

Marc... I like U2.. mostly..

but they don't hold a candle to the Beatles...




Hippiekinkster -> RE: Les Beatles! (1/27/2009 6:51:58 PM)

Seriously, name me another guitarist who has come up with as many riffs and hooks as George Harrison. From the fedback A that starts "I Feel Fine" to the opening lick of "Birthday", to the Sitar intro to "Norwegian Wood", nobody in Rock even comes close to his creativity. Ringo came up with some immortal fills, too. And the lyrics, man...
"Eleanor Rigby
died in a church
and was buried along with her name...
Nobody came..." 
who cannot relate to such sad tragedy?

They were first, they did it all, and no other group can even touch them.

Django Reinhardt, greatest guitar player that's ever lived.

Damn Right!  Stadium Rock - and Protest Rock - at it's best!

No, no.  People always want to do that when talking about musicians.  I don't know why people think a handicap should be given to rock guitarists.  I get irritated when I talk about guitar with people, and they think Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison on and on...are the greatest guitarists.  Off the top of my head; Chet Atkins, Les Paul, and George Barnes blow George Harrison and all "great" rock guitarists away. 




Arpig -> RE: Les Beatles! (1/27/2009 8:09:45 PM)

Since we are talking great guitarists, what about Bruce Cockburn
