Yes. They really didn't get into the LSD era until "Revolver" in 1965. Best Beatles album ever! Well, except for "Abbey Road".

I don't think ELO was the most experimental group, but it certainly took advantage of the musical spectrum.\n\nELO is one of my all-time favorites. The newest album I can find is called "Zoom" (2001, I think.) But, is it really ELO? Personally, I think it's a partnership of Jeff Lynne, Jeff Lynne, Jeff Lynne, and Jeff Lynne.\n\nWith a little bit of Jeff Lynne thrown in for good measure...

Van Halen is the greatest!!! Although I have to disagree with you on their best song... "Hot For Teacher" is the most incredible song ever. Just listen to the drum intro...sounds like a finely tuned motorcycle engine. Eddie is the KING!!!

That was a real dead spot in music (not that it's gotten much better since). Oasis and Third Eye Blind were a couple of the better bands to enjoy popularity during that period.

It's the 1976 version of "Do Ya" by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) from their album, A NEW WORLD RECORD.

40's: Modern musical culture did not exist\n50's: Elvis\n60's: The Beatles\n70's: Pink Floyd\n80's: Madonna\n90's: Nirvana\n00's: Too early to say.\n\nPlease note that I in no way consider these the BEST musicians of their decades (except the Beatles). Simply the most influential.

absolutely.... they are the best thing since sliced bread. I have the album 'Page Avenue' and play it all the time....\n\nI also remember them when they were called 'Big Blue Monkey' back in the late 90's\n\nJems xXx

Classic rock was the best, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Cream, Hendrix etc. It will never be topped.  Bob Dylan was not rock I think he was Folk.  There is no "modern rock,"  years ago those musicians had to know what they were doing, they were originators and a lot of them were self-taught sometimes (during concerts) making it up as they went along.  Todays generation should go buy some Zepplin. Pink Floyd, Cream, Black Sabbath, The Who, Grateful Dead etc. put it on (turn it up!!) sit back and listen to what they're saying, enjoy.

I'm an old fogey, and my favorite band that's still performing is The Eagles.  The Beatles made great music, too.
