Without any doubt
THE BEATLES.
- Four major singers. - Great creativity in their compositions. - The adding of non tradicional rock & roll instruments (sitar, mellotron, clavinets and a large etc) and etnic music as well. - The contributions of a great musical producer (George Martin). - First band to record with a whole phillarmonic orchestra, just as an element to elevate the songs in a musical way. - The way Ringo held the sticks and his single stroke patterns, as well as being the first drummer to play in a high level stage, was adopted by many drummers, and his influence continues till now. Phil Collins said that there pieces of Beatles songs that are extremely hard to play due to their drumming technical difficulties. - The way Paul reinvented the bass playing. - The way George played just to improve the songs, despiting any need of being a frontman lead guitar player. - The way John elevated his compositions to higher levels than his conteporaries songwriters. - The "before and after of" Sgt. Pepper's. - They were the prototype of a Rock and Roll band. - The long hair as a rule in rock. - The way a whole generation was identified and changed with their music. That were only a few reasons to be the best band ever. Their influences were (and still are) musical and social. They were nice, yes, but talking about music, Beatles are insuperable.There have been and there are many great bands in the world, in a wide range of styles, rock & roll, symphonic, progressive, hard rock, world music, but The Beatles took a part in almost every style (just remember "All my loving", "Can't buy me love", "Eleanor Rigby", "A day in the Life", "Helter Skelter", "Tomorrow never knows", "Within you, without you".); maybe many of those bands, without disregarding their work, wouldn't be that great without Beatles' musical precepts. The Beatles are a major influence in music, not only rock styles, today, and it will be for a long time forwards. Best regards to you all. |

UK= Led Zeppelin
US= The Eagles (very narrow margin over Earth, Wind & Fire). However, if you look at quality of work over time is has to be The Stones, IMO |

Pink Floyd
Some of you knew I would have to chime in for the best concert band ever. And that isn't to take away from my love for the Fab
Four or Led Zepplin, and yes the Eagles and the Stones. Actually, there are just too many that could wear the crown well so I'll stand by Pink Floyd.

From a personal perspective, either The Jam or Pulp, in that the music of those two bands and their message is something I can relate to more than any others. They were also both fantastic bands, by any standard

The Beatles are a no-brainer. But these are the bands I would put as runners-up:
CCR (about as great as rock and roll can get, shame they broke up so soon): Rolling Stones (the only possible challengers to the Beatles, but still second place in my mind): Velvet Underground (the only thing avante garde about them was their image. i've always thought they were one of the great rock-pop bands who produced tons of instantly accessible gems. they should have had tons of hits if they had been properly promoted): Beach Boys (along with CCR and the Velvet Underground the greatest American rock band): The Band (legend rests on only two great albums, three if you count Bob Dylan and The Band album. they were either great or boring but their great stuff is mind-bogglingly excellent): The Kinks (the most idiosyncratic of rock bands): The Clash (maybe the last truly great rock and roll band): Allman Brothers Band (40+ years and still great even without Duane): |
