The Beatles are, were, and always will be the greatest band to ever exist on this Earth, and for the Human Race in general.
 
God Bless the brilliance of this band, all of the members, everything involved with them, all pure beauty, impacting the lives of countless amounts of people.

I disagree.  The Beatles weren't bad, but they certainly aren't as great as people make them out to be.  Highly influential, sure.  But the greatest band ever?  FAR from it!

They were, FAR from the greatest band ever, how about THIS far?
 
 
 
No one else could quite reach the heavenly space this band managed to attend.  Far, Far away. Sure thing.

Nahh, He'll always be Mr. Conductor from Thomas the Train Engine to me and nothing more.

I must agree that they were the best pop band of all time though, but as far as rock goes, they aren't even recognizable as rock by today's standards

Ok, opinions are opinions and I (we) will respect them all, right? Smile
 
Two notes:
1. We shouldn't probably be here if they didn't exist;
2. Check how many Beatles' songs were covered/revisited by our beloved prog-bands.

yeah, but if we are to believe in science, then if the Beatles hadn't ever existed, another group would have filled the place they left vacant, so we shouldn't praise them for merely filling a gap in the evolutionary chain.  That's like praising a Neanderthal, if you believe evolution is viable, that is.

I agree and this another band would certainly be discussed just like they are, no? Smile 
 
Anyway, the Neanderthal isn't in our genealogical tree, if you believe in evolution... Wink
