To me, the Beatles are the Best Band of all time and always will be.  At first these guys did put out new Albums and then go on tours but this did stop.  After that, they did put out a new album every year and straight to the top of the Charts to #1 it would go.  They sold all their records without doing any tours. People could not go to see them but they did love to wait every year to have a new Album come out and run to buy it and hear the Beatles again.  Not many bands ever got away with this but the Beatles sure did and did not stop until they broke up and then each Beatle put out his own Album that would go straigt up the Chart. Only two Beatles did stop and they had not choice but their music is still loved world wide!!  It always will be. To me they put out so many good songs, it is hard to really chose which one I like the best!

I still love the entire group.  I play the Duran Duran Greatest Hits. Everything was a group effort.  Their music and videos fathered a change in the musical concepts...I can't chose just one.\nI choose them all.

Bob Dylan by far. Lennon was good but Dylan is a musical genius. His songs aren't just songs, they are stories.

The Beatles were the best band in Rock/Pop music. The Stones were surpassed by their peers in terms of sheer talent. In the late 60s in London you had The Who, Hendrix, Beatles etc. who were very highly regarded. The Stones have survived and gained popularity only in recent decades.\n\nBesides, the Beatles' albums are full of top-notch melodies, while the Stones' albums are full of filler. They mostly got by with their pseudo-rebellious attitude, not their music.

No other musical act has changed the face of popular music more than the Beatles. They were the first to record a whole album of their own songs, they were the first to use liner notes in their albums, their studio work was unparalleled at the time. They used backwards guitar, feedback, changed the speed of different tracks in order to produce different sounds (just listen to Sgt. Pepper's) The Beatles will always be the gold standard for every musician to look up to. Quite simply, YES, I like the Beatles.

Tough call.... I can't choose between Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper's. They both rock.

John Lennon was the best, the deepest, and he was a better singer than Paul !

The BEATLES  \n   If the Beatle didn't break the barrier, no one else would have.   The Stones are a great band and I love thier music but I think the beatles for the short time they were together were more prolific, and alway growing and changing.  Everyone copied what they were going through.   A good example of this is out there in a picture of Paul McCartney conducting an orchestra with Mick Jagger sitting at his feet and watching.

Beatles, of course.\n\nElvis and the Beatles were both talented as entertainers, but where the Beatles passed up everyone was by creating their own music (and even music for Stones and others). There has never been a group with that much song writing talent.\n\nElvis co-wrote a few songs but McCartney alone wrote so many hit songs he is in Guiness Book Of Records as the most successful songwriter of all time.\n\nElvis had many #1 hits, but he, nor anyone else ever had the #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 top hits at the same time, like the Beatles did during one week in the 60's. \n\nAs everyone knows, there are a zillion Elvis imitators. But zero groups could imitate the Beatles. Too much talent in one place. \n\nThe effect Elvis had on the world was his hairstyle and sideburns came into style.\n\nThe Beatles brought into society, Beatle haircuts, Sgt Pepper and colorful crazy clothes, Yellow Submarine art, awareness of bands outside the U.S. for the first time, their movies spawned The Monkeys and their hit TV show, Lennon & McCartney put "Give Peace A Chance" and "All You Need Is Love" into America and created the hippy generation.\n\nIn his later years, Elvis could always pack a stadium, like Stones can now, but it took a week or two. The Beatles haven't even been a group for 40 years, but as of today, McCartney is the #1 box office attraction in the world, selling out huge venues in 30 minutes.\n\nThat's talent.

The best song of all time is, without a doubt, Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.  This is not just my opinion, but is also proved by just about any song countdown in the world... VH1, Radio, whatever.

Jimi Hendrix, hands down.  Eric Clapton is also great, and I also really like Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Queen's Brian May, but Hendrix is definitely the all-time best.
