With all the back and forth here, please remember the OP did say the best 'LIVE' rock and roll band.
I don't agree with him, but saying things like the Beatles are the greatest ever, when in reality they were not that great 'LIVE'. Yes the Beatles will likely be considered the greatest rock band ever, I sure believe that's true, but again remember how the OP framed this.

so then he hasnt sold 4 to 5 times as many albums as the beatles as you claim...right?....

 

[toobfreak]

And now for a little good music:

 

[playtime]

The were the Back Street Boys of their era - nothing more.

I do like some of their easy listening tunes:

“While My Guitar Gently Weeps”
"Blackbird"
“Strawberry Fields Forever”
“Hey Jude”
"Yesterday”
“Here Comes the Sun”


.

you're certifiable.

 

[playtime]

Who today plays the simplistic shit the Beatles did?

first of all is this not in the discission forum?

so let's discuss.

'simplistic'



sure.

 

[playtime]

Yall have ZERO understanding of modern music and what it takes to break out.

cash. that's all it takes.

Here's a hint, being on Ed Sullivan isn't your ticket to popularity anymore

neither is talent.

 

[Decus]

Who the fuck are they?

Beatles - Back Street Boys - same thing.

shea stadium- not so much- but not really 'cause of them.

i doubt the back street boys even did their own choreography.

performance artists are quite different than artists performing.

 

[Decus]

quite certifiable.

OK just to make you happy I'll say that the Beatles are the #1 Bubble Gum rock band of all time beating out Australia's Squiddles (but not by much):
