I might be stepping over a line but I would imagine the Hanson Brothers would have been pretty tight in their day...

If you want a Tight Band, Listen to Kansas, Awesome musicians.

Leagues beyond the Beatles indeed.
Eagles were also tight, especially vocals.
I was never a big Grateful Dead fan, although I do like several of their songs - but they were also better musicians/artists than the Beatles could possible dream of.

 

[edthecynic]

thats what made them so great (apart from freaking talnt an d chemistry)

As a musician, i can tell you it is easy to be "tight" in the studio, and the Beatles were mainly a studio group. I love their music and still listen to it today, but for tight groups that play live you can't beat Jazz.

I was there - almost -when the Fab 4 playedSeattle in 1966 shortly before theystopped touring.............

Why John preferered Yoko over a looker like Cynthia his wife I dont know why .

Yoko was a stronger person in character than Cynthia. He liked Yoko making tough decisions for him. True story

Beatles were the "boy band" of the 60's.
They were a COMPLETE sell out for the first several years as they produced one cookie cutter song after another.
They started to produce their own stuff finally, and obviously. Their music went off into a world of psychedelic experimentation such as Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. It was nonsense.
Their last album (IMO) is the only album they produced that was good.

After Beatles - George Harrison made some pretty good stuff - McCartney..HOWEVER..went on to make more candy lane, commercially wrapped sh*t. OMG..."the wings" - horrible...nightmare.
Then joined up with Michael Jackson to produce a few more corporate inspired crap...I find it humorous that he got what he deserved when Jackson completely f*cked him by buying the rights to his music.

I've always thought George has the best solo work of The Beatles. It's not cookie cutter, and you can see the risks he took, just to do things his way. I think it has the most artist integrity of the other Beatles work as well. All Things Must Pass is an amazing album, and blows away anything else any of the other Beatles have done solo (and almost everything they did as The Beatles as well).

Yeah those one shot (I think you mean hit?) wonders, who have the highest selling album of all time (and it's a greatest hits one at that).

edit: and while I think The Beatles are the best overall group of all time-by no means are they even close to being the tightest band ever. Starr was an average drummer, and Lennon wasn't that great of a guitarist-I would even say he was kind of sloppy, especially with his time in The Beatles. Paul's style on bass wasn't that tight (although he def. has tons of great bass lines).

Some valid points. None of The Beatles could even read music.

Songwriting and Lennon's peerless vocals were their 2 greatest strengths.
