The chord progression of the beatles music was very tricky, Eagles had a great sound, Pink floyd are of course really good and Syd Barrett was amazing, Supertramp, Led Zep, Fleetwood Mac, they are all really good when your trying to learn like me.
You realise that they are so much better when you try to follow the music on the frets than on the radio.

Re: Best Band Ever!!!!!!! You choose and share you're thoughts!!!!!

Beatles - a lot of bands have moments of brilliance and inspiration, but no one can match the quality and diversity of music output in a mere 5 year period. Does Abbey Road sound 38 years old - I think not! Has any dared put out an album with virtually every genre on it since The White Album? McCartney is now a national treasure - they should preserve him in wax - especially if it stops him writing another Frog Chorus.

John Lees' Barclay James Harvest and close second the original Barclay James Harvest

John Lees is an incredible guitarist and his style is absolutely unique (been compared to a chainsaw revving), lots of high bends and aggressive solos; an absolute joy to witness live. Great song writer and voice too, clear, soulful and distinctive.

My favourite guitarist ever.

Re: Best Band Ever!!!!!!! You choose and share you're thoughts!!!!!

The Beatles and the Eagles

Re: Best Band Ever!!!!!!! You choose and share you're thoughts!!!!!

Wow! picking the "best" band ever is pretty hard considering all the different styles of music.

I would have to agree that the Beatles were one of the most influential bands that ever composed and played pop/rock songs. I'd also list Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Gentlemen as one of the best groups ever- how many other bands have had a whole genre of music named after them?  And the Glenn Miller Orchestra who changed swing music from a mostly brass genre to one dominated by clarinet and saxophones and dominated the charts during their day.  Admittedly, both the Bluegrass Gentlemen and the Glenn Miller Orchestra had many different musicians come and go, each adding their unique sound to the total discography of the bands.

I can also think of a lot individual writers/singers also but the thread is about best "band".

You got me thinking about who has written the most recorded songs and who has written the most hits. Per info I pulled off the net, Willie Dixon has written the most recorded songs.  I also found a list (don't know if its current) of most #1 hits:

Most Number Ones

By Writer

Paul McCartney 31
John Lennon 25
Barry Gibb 16
Brian Holland 15
Lamont Dozier 15
Robin Gibb 13
Eddie Holland 13
Maurice Gibb 11
Carole King 9
Lionel Richie 9
Gerry Goffin 8
Mick Jagger 8
Keith Richard 8
Jeff Barry 7
Daryl Hall 7
Michael Jackson 7
Bernie Taupin 7
Stevie Wonder 7
Burt Bacharach 6
Harry Wayne Casey 6
Richard Finch 6
George Michael 6
Freddie Perren 6
Norman Whitfield 6

I found some of the names surprising, although McCartney & Lennon is pretty much of a no-brainer.

In my opinion i think that The beatles have got to be the best band ever..... I mean like they are the most onfluential and most fantastic song writing people ever!!!!!! Songs like a hard days night are top and still sung today by lads and girls alike. They live on forever!

I admire their music and their bravery especially when they come out on stage. They are like fearless! If they are teaching performing onstage, I would definitely enroll.  Anything is possible if you are able to conquer your fears.

I personally can`t classify The Beatles. They are an ultra super group that were in a class of their own. Who doesn`t have some Beatles influence in them? While it is true that they are the most covered, their extreme greatness puts them in a whole different world.

You are obviously no child of the 60's smile. One had to live the experience of 'Beatlemania' to really appreciate their innovative music talents.

The Beatles have staying power. Let`s see how many of todays singers(?) still get regular airplay or still come out with records long after they are gone. The same with Elvis.Lets see where these rappers will be 50 years later. We wont be around to see but I am willing to bet that I am right. Right fine art
