My sons (17 & 19) love the Beatles as much as I do. They are timeless. And I voted best band ever, because I could not in all conscience vote just 'they are alright' because clearly they are waaaay better than 'alright'

However I personally believe that Queen are the best/greatest band ever.

The only thing as big before them was Elvis... Nothing has truly touched their wide ranging influence in all genres since.

I heard a DJ on the radio yesterday saying that the joke around London in the late 60's was that either John or Paul could stumble in the studio and fall against the piano and they would have ANOTHER hit record!

I think the Beatles are part of a small, but elite group of bands that could be considered the greatest.

I vote for these guys:



But, I would include the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and the Who in the top tier.

Elvis The Beatles The Rolling Stones The Who The Kinks (almost unsung as a forefather of Punk and New Wave) Jimi Hendrix Experience

If you include Elvis, you have to include Chuck Berry, as the Colonel helped influence Elvis' style and sound by incorporating elements of Berry's act and capitalizing on Berry's popularity.

Then, there's Little Richard and Muddy Waters, too-
Waters having influenced the early sound of the Rolling Stones and Richard's flamboyance influencing many of the rock elite- certainly Freddie Mercury, to a degree.

That was probably inspired by a remark attributed to Lennon around 1965, saying that they could record the Beatles scratching themselves and it would sell.

Well, their songs certainly have legs, no one could argue with that.

Yep, I'd go with all this.

Queen are the only band to have had Number One hits written by every member of the band. And of course they had Freddie Mercury - greatest front man in history.
