Beatles kind of started the pop / rock I remember but hands down over the years is the Stones.

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.

"Shout" by the Isley Brothers and remade by numerous others to include the Beatles. The Isley version is the best.

Mike Nesmith, who helped create MTV, still records and sells his work through Videoranch.com.  Peter Tork plays in a band called Shoe Suede Blues.  Peter, Micky, and Davy still do the occasional reunion tour as The Monkees.

I'm the original 60's man. I became a teenager in 1960 and grew up through that wonderful decade when music was really born. Prior to that we had stuff like Perry Como and Frank Sinatra but as soon as the Beatles arrived the music scene exploded. I loved the Beatles and was lucky enough to see them play and meet them. I've never seen anyone better. I still play in a 1960's Rock and Roll Showband even though I'm 60 in January. We play pure live music with three guitars drums and a vocalist playing only music from that era.We don't use backing tracks or light shows just pure music as it was then. Living in England I liked all the British bands, Hermans Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Dave Clark Five, Dave Dee and so on  plus the Beach Boys and Four Seasons. The Shadows were the best instrumental group and backed Cliff Richard. Elvis was OK I suppose but not my cup of tea really. Also Dusty Springfield, The Drifters, Bob Dylan, Electric Light Orchestra, I could go on forever. Wonderful, magical days. Listen to Sergeant Pepper by the Beatles, that says it all.

MCR definitely. their lyrics are more profound, and they are more original, esp with the whole concept album, and the 1000 bodies story, and gerard's artwork

depends are what your asking. \n\ni'm guessing you meant to ask who i personally enjoy listening to more? in that case i would have to say nirvana. but i also believe that nirvana was in fact much more influencial and contributed more to the music of today. some people might say "well you can't understand him, it's a bunch of noise, they play wrong notes" or whatever, but think about that as you look at music today. a lot of popular artists copy this style, not to say that nirvana was the first (i would say bob dylan was one of the first to make undistinguishable lyrics popular) but they deffinately brought it into a new generation. their tendency to play wrote notes and do things in an unconventional way was a means of showcasing their "punkness". they did it on purpose to make a statement. bottom line, nirvana was and still is the epitamy of grunge. they did what they do better than anybody else.

Yesterday by McCartney and Lennon.

Lennon without a doubt.  I think Paul isn't quite as bad as people make him to be, but John and George were much better.  John especially took the music to a whole different level.

The Beatles\n\nThe face of music wouldn't look anywhere near are great as it is because of these Liverpool boys.  Interesting fact: from the time of their first album to their last was only 7 years.  No other band in history can match theirs.

George Martin\n\nHis keyboard work in My Life, Benefit of Mr. Kite and We Can Work It Out is a prefect compliment to the rest of them!\n\nThe Beatles are:\n\nJohn Lennon\nPaul McCartney\nGeorge Harrison\nRichard "Ringo" Starkey\nPete Best\nStu Suitcliffe\nBrian Epstein\nGeorge Martin\nGeoff Emerick\nMal "Organ" Evans\nBilly Preston\nEric Clapton\nKlaus Voormann\nMick Jagger\nDenis O'Dell\nYoko Ono\nPeter Brown\nGlyn Johns\nNorman Smith\nTony Clark\nRichard Lush\nPossilbly Alan Parsons, plus others who remain unknown\n\nI Don't consider Phil Spector or Jeff Lynne to be a part of the Beatles legacy as definately shows from the George Martin single of Let It Be vs the Phil Spector album cut with an overdubbed guitar solo and orchestra and tape delayed hi-hat.
