    The Beatles invented or better yet synthesized what popular music would become for the next 2 or 3 generations.
    Helter Skelter being the first mainstream hard rock proto metal song.
    Lots of bands were experimenting with heavier sound as well as all the avant garde stuff, but they were not the Beatles so when you see the best boy band become the best pop band in the world who then becomes best rock band and ends up becoming the best alternative band all in a span of 5 to 6 years. Only to break up and then separately form the greatest solo acts/side projects of dudes formerly in a mega band. Paul and John both had HoF solo careers with their side projects. And to a lesser extent so did Ringo with his long-lasting touring band and George with his introspective more poignant music.

    So I agree with you in many respects and why there is polytheism.
    In the old days they would ask... who is your favorite God?
    There are many gods, but they are all just copying one or some aspect of the all-encompassing nature that is God. Maybe that is your favorite aspect of God and so you project that godhood towards the god that focuses on just that aspect that you really like and takes it further.
    Like how Pink Floyd absorbed the Beatles white album combining it with their own experimental works of the time to combine and refine into what become Dark Side of the Moon.

    great list
    thought about adding the knack too, but really one 1 great album so...
    saw the cars in '79 at the (then fully outdoor) universal amphitheater
    they were great
    but what i remember most was the opening band that nobody had heard of at the time
    these guys were on fire
    great new wave music with hints of reggae and ska
    and the lead singer was running all over the stage really amping up the crowd
    after their 3rd encore i asked some guy sitting near us "who are these guys?"

    Lol.
    It must be communicable.
    So, what is it then...I shouldn't put the Beatles as my favorite band, when it is?
    It was three guitars and a drummer...that's a band, no matter what they became.

    it's almost impossible to narrow it down to 25 artists
    even if we did 50 there would still be a bunch on the cusp
    a few years back there was a "if you were marooned on an island, what 10 albums would you want?" quiz
    that might be easier... or maybe just as difficult idk

    Maybe the greatest writer of music ever, but a total dick to his fans onstage.

    For that reason, I found him easy to forget.

    Did read it. Giving them credit isn't all of it...
    Reads like you're explaining why other groups were better live and gave people so much more, which is fine since you felt you had to opine... but then the blah blah at the end is, imo, a reason why a person shouldn't list them...pretty obvious, isn't it? A bit obscure, but obvious.
    If I took the wrong meaning out of your sentences, then I guess getting loaded isn't going to help.
    Still my favorite band, even though they broke up early and took a long time between albums and you think Lennon is an asshole.
    And really, now...I get red-assed over small shit? Man, that sure seems like case of you throwing stones, etc. Most of your posts end with some form of grotesque death wish for someone.
    Because I don't wish anyone dies in a fire or anything...I hope you don't.

    don't really have much to add
    i loved the beatles
    and i loved john
    impossible to convey their greatness to those who didn't witness it
    my parents didn't allow me to stay up to watch them on ed sullivan -- they insisted on it
    and i am eternally grateful

    Pretty easy to go at Lennon...what he was, or wasn't. And leaving Cynthia for Yoko is sad but not a rarity by any means. And he long gone from Cynthia before he ever met Ono.
    I just wonder if you go down everyone's lists, and examine each individual, if it were at all possible, all the down and dirty things they did, spouse-wise or whatever, it would huge...given the environment of creating music and what revolves around it.
    Lennon was infinitely more a source of interest and newsworthy, so he takes front and center in people's minds, I guess.

    Tough...
    Collective Soul might be the odd man out here but they did hit hard when they hit.
    Unfortunately, it was in the middle of that style of music that was everywhere and it was hard to remember which band played what song.
    But no Pink Floyd so no pass.
    Close... but no cigar.

    I've never seen him live, but if you say so, so be it.
    What is it that he does to his fans? I really don't know.
    I just know I grew up on his lyrics, and he made us all ask questions that needed to be asked of that time.
    Bombing around Greenwich Village as a young fool, with "Positively 4th St." blasting everywhere...man, those were halcion days.

    I find that intriguing, Irish...why did your parents insist on it? That is cool.

    i think they realized the cultural significance of it all
    and i shouldn't have said insist, they just said something like "you should really watch this"
    my mom worked for cbs so current events were always a hot topic of discussion at the dinner table

    Your post was the highest praise the Beatles could ever had.
    You compared them to Mozart and other greats of the greats.
    But you like to analyze stuff. How dare you!

    All jokes aside, I try not to care about what celebrities do in their personal lives when it comes to rating their work product.
    Because that shit does not work both ways.
    You cant say that Hitler was an evil vicious horrible person then praise his skill in oratory, propaganda, public works, centralization, and of course efficiency. Hitlers good ideas all go out the window because of his bad ideas.
    And its not a weighed outcome either.
