Pink Floyd... the Wall or Dark side of the moon. I believe are better. imo

Old Farts like you like the Stones and Led Zepp

just kidding

The intrigue of threads like this is that you have a better indication of the age of some of the posters. Being an old fart too, I still love the Stones and in fact other favorites of mine are Wings and Grateful Dead. I like any music where I can actually understand the words, actually. If I can't, then the beat had better be good, so in that category I also confess to liking Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber as late entries!

 

[MaggieMae]

I don't understand that myth that The Beatles never played hard rock..

WHAT DO YOU CALL "I AM THE WALRUS"?????

What is "a stupid name for a song"?

Number 9

Chicago's "25, 06, 24," which I never could figure out what it meant. The rest of the lyrics didn't explain it.

 

[MaggieMae]

The Stones and Monkeees where imitators.

Beatles were the first that had the mop-tops.............

The Stones mimicked The Beetles? Maybe early on with their hair, but no way with the music.

No Beatles, no Pink Floyd.

No -Brainer of the Century

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which rock group was the greatest, most influential, talentend etc etc ectc off all-time?

YOU specifically inquired about ROCK BANDS.

thus, by your own definition, now, disqualifies The Beatles.

If you really must know the MOST influencial of the 20th century, it was Elvis.

He created the term "Rock God"

 

[konradv]

Traffic, Niel Young & Crazy Horse, Jefferson Airplane

Lot of trouble coming up with just one!

Also, why aren't the Moody Blues in the R&RHoF?

 

[brokenarrow]

Pink Floyd... the Wall or Dark side of the moon. I believe are better. imo

No Beatles, no Pink Floyd.

No what?

No WHO either.

Of course the greatest Guitarist is Carlos Santana.....

Or at least one of the top 5......

The Fab 4.

More than a rock group -a cultural pehenom.

The audiences n the early year evokememories of the audiences listening to Hitler.

In 1963, I was 10 years old and hopelessly in love with the beautiful little blond haired girl who lived in the big house by the Lake. Looking back, she was Estelle to my Pip and my bewildered enchantment was not limited by the bounds of wisdom or experience.

Her favorite Beatle was also George. Mystifying.

As some writer stated so well: "John was the brain, Paul was the heart, George was the soul and Ringo was the drummer."

I always thought Paul was the one that girls should go wild over.
