I like the Beach Boys, but not really sure how "Pet Sounds" is ranked one of the top albums of all time. The Beatles were so influential, cranking out at least two albums a year for their entire existence. They shaped the way modern music was recorded. True geniuses. I'm glad to have seen Sir Paul. Even if you don't like them, you can't dispute their influence on all music. Best band of all time in my opinion.

Only in ur dreams. Can someone help me clean up the vomit.

She’s so heavy (I want you) and Helter Skelter are considered to be the roots of heavy metal
No Beatles = no Sabbath
-
right
so if heavy metal roots is so easily traced back and wouldnt have happened otherwise
can someone list the bands doing the same for hiphop techno nu metal etc so we know who to blame?
-
It could be said that the factory life influenced the musical sound of Heavy Metal as well as its general tone: Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi’s thick, grungy sound was the result of a factory accident in which a machine sliced off the tips of two fingers on his right hand. To compensate for his injured fingers, Iommi loosened the strings, resulting in a darker sound.
same say beatles
i say factory accidents
-
not a single word about beatles.
Prior to 1970 and Black Sabbath's arrival, the sounds that we now recognize as the building blocks for heavy metal were both scattered and accidental, making it impossible to pinpoint any other album or band as the genre's absolute Ground Zero. From the start of the British Invasion came the Who (Live at Leeds was, coincidentally, recorded the day after Sabbath's debut was released), the Yardbirds and the Kinks, all of whom were incorporating distortion and feedback into their records as far back as the mid-'60s.
Metal's roots in heavy blues came from Cream, the Jeff Beck Group, Iron Butterfly, Vanilla Fudge and, of course, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Add to that group Steppenwolf, who are credited with coining the phrase "heavy metal" in "Born to Be Wild." Together, these acts proved that this sound was, in fact, commercially viable.
Perhaps the only group that came close to capturing heavy metal’s fatalistic outlook, sheer volume, and anti-social nature prior to 1970 was San Francisco’s Blue Cheer on 1968's thunderous Vincebus Eruptum. And yet, not even they hit the heavy metal bulls-eye.

In the world of online forums 2008 Getbig was The Sergeant Peppers album.
-
Only ever cared for George. All Things Must Pass for me is better than anything they put out as a group.
-
I don't think any one band should receive credit. Rock evolved from the blues, the Beatles were more pop oriented. They definitely have the album sales record, only Elvis can rival that.
-
The Beatles are the greatest pop band of all time. Personally I think that's the accolade they deserve more than anything else.
Not one of my favourites, but I recognise their role and status in music history.

The Beatles are among the most influential musical artists of all time. The are in the mode of Chuck Berry, Elvis, the Rolling Stones, etc. They created the rock band as we know it. I really didnt care for their music in the beginning, but they evolved into a favorite. There is no denying they changed the musical world.

before beatles there were no homosexuals.

Only thing worse than the beetles is rap.

No Beatles = no Sabbath
Strongly disagree. The aforementioned Blue Cheer are one of the early bands at the roots of metal. Sabbath's heavy metal sound has its roots more in jazz than the Beatle's pop sound--you can hear the jazz influence in Bill Ward's drumming and Geezer Butler's bass. Going back even further to the late 1950s, Link Wray pioneered the metal guitar sound. Hendrix is also woven through heavy metal's DNA. And the aforementioned masterpiece "Live at Leeds" by The Who (probably in my top 5 favorite albums of all time) has been described as "proto-metal" by some critics. Also, the Stones' dirty, grungy sound and attitude definitely contributed more to metal than did the Fab Four.
The Beatles were undoubtedly hugely influential in rock music but to say they're at the roots of heavy metal...that's kind of silly.

John Lennon was once asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world, he said "hes not even the best drummer in the Beatles"
-
Are you geting most influential band and recording engineer confused. If recording techniques is why you think they are the best, you should really be giving props to abbey roads studios, and Geoff Emerick etc.
Goree Carter made the first rock album. So if “who started it”, that would be him.
Who made it mainstream and stole it would probably be Elvis.
If you are talking song writing and structure, maybe you can put the Beatles into that conversation.

Ringo isn’t ever better then Dave grohl

.........the Beatles are the most overrated band in history.

Covers of their songs are always so much better. They were influential but only by luck, in another time they would of been nobodies.

All the below bands contributed to shaping what would become heavy metal, without the evil/scary/ominous sound, but they were light years less heavy than Sabbath would be in 1969 and beyond. Blue Cheer came the closest to sounding brutally heavy for 1968.
The Who
The Kinks
Iron Butterly
Steppenwolf
Cream
Jimi Hendrix
Blue Cheer
Led Zeppelin

No they aren't. They spawned so much in music and to claim anything less is sheer ignorance.

For me it’s like listening to nails on a chalkboard. A cat on a fence. My ex-wife nagging me. I’d rather have a hot poker wrapped in barbed wire shoved in my eye than listen to the Beatles.

Over rated.
HUGE for their time...big influence on THAT generation.
Meaningless now.
The only thing from them I like is Dear Prudence.
...and I ONLY like that song cuz the Jerry Garcia Band redid it and KILLED IT!

I agree with the title of this thread wholeheartedly. Love The Beatles Channel on Sirius, with the one complaint that they play too much of their solo work (which, IMO, sucks for the most part) and their 'influences.'

Unless it's George's stuff. He's my favorite Beatle. He was also so good with the Traveling Wilburys.

One omission:
Deep Purple
Hard to argue against the Beatles being the most influential pop band of all time but heavy metal is another story. I would have to say it’s Led Zeppelin, John Bonham’s drumming in particular.

quickie?

The Beatles "played the game"....they had countless meaningless pop hits(Love me do)....with no musical substance....played nice....had the teen girls screaming....THEN AFTER SUCCESS started to express more of their desire to be artists and express themselves musically....we remember Sgt Pepper and Revolver but also remember they were selling out big time with shit like "Ps I love you" pop hits to develop the money to say fuck you we are artists now.....Well played but I think we need to respect artists that NEVER sold out a little more....the Beatles did some MAD bullshit sellout shit for years until they had the money.....its safe to be an artist when you're already rich.....
-

Totally true. Without Chuck Berry, Buck Owens and The Shadows there is no Beatles...or Stones for that matter.
Without the minor progressions in Blues there would be no metal. Black Sabbath was a blues band called Earth originally. The hard edged sound started with The Kinks, Blue Cheer, The MC5, Stooges, etc and expanded out of mid 60s psychedelia.

John Mayall might be worth a mention here as Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Clapton were all members of his group at one time. And each went on to be in the Yardbirds too. It was Page that created The New Yardbirds and that became Zep. (Lucky to have seen the Yardbirds with Page...wow!)
And Link Wray....yes! Check out this heavy distorted version of Rumble

Yeah baby! When HE was a kid, Page heard Link Wray's stuff, dug it and got inspired to play with that same style and attitude.

Perhaps Buddy Guy should be added in here somewhere?

No, but ELO did an evolved Beatles style that you could say was prog-influencing. Pretty sure one of the Beatles even said that is what they would've sounded like if they stayed together(ELO).

.. The Beatles were so significant and influential, the simple mind cannot conceive of it .. They were heads and shoulders the most talented and prolific musical group in history .. EVERYBODY copied the Beatles.. First there were the Beatles; then there was everyone else .. Their legend will never be duplicated

I like Zeppelin, Doors, Hendrix, some pink Floyd and Stones but I don't think they sound anything like the Beatles.

"Hate" is a pretty strong word.
The best part of The Who IMO was Keith Moon and John Entwistle, both of whom are no longer with us. There was no one ever like The Loon and The Ox, and there never will be again. Keith and John played drums and bass, respectively, like they were lead instruments but everything blended together harmoniously. There will never be another band like The Who. Their onstage energy and their sheer volume were also unequalled. I love The Who.

If this Who cover of Mose Allison's "Young Man Blues" doesn't rock you to your core, then you have no soul and I pity you.

LOL - Dude - I reread my comment - I actually meant that 'the Beatles wish they could have been ELO' - so we agree (I just worded it very sh1tly ;D) Nice to meet another fan....
ELO on permanent rotation in my mid-life-crisis-mobile - no Horace Wimp am I... 8)
-
Although I’m primarily a hard rock guy, some of the more easy listening rock bands are a guilty pleasure for me.
ELO is one of them:
This is just top-of-the-line pop song writing:
-
Oblah dee oblah dah
An octopusess garden
Lucy in the skjy with diamonds
etc.
A bunch of complete gibberish that made them rich.
Sheep bought all their crap and they never truly rocked like The Stones.
-
Never listened to them when I was younger but now I do.they have some really good music.
I have a greatest hits cd that I play once in awhile.

The Beatles are the best and most influential of all pop/rock bands in the same way Sinatra is the best and most influential singer of traditional popular music. They defined and influenced the genre and era. Yes there were other bands/groups that were quite popular and very good. Among them were the Stones, Credence, the Yardbirds, the Turtles and anything with Clapton. But they weren't the Beatles.
Unlike the scum of what is loosely referred to as "singers" today, the Beatles had both vocal and musical talent.
I have yet to see a person (young or old) running down the street clutching a thumb drive and yelling at the top of their meth decayed vocal cords and lungs, "THE NEW KANYE WEST ALBUM IS HERE!!" Western civilization used to lead the way in music, now it just shits on it.

If you don’t think this is great you probably have some issues:
A couple years ago at the Super Bowl, Katy Perry was the halftime show. Paul McCartney was in attendance in the stands. I remember thinking to just give him an acoustic guitar and let him play a few songs. Would’ve been 1000x better.

To be fair, there’s not a whole lot to popular music lyrics in general:
In pop, it’s some guy singing about how some chick is God’s gift.
In blues, it’s some dude begging some chick who left him to come back.
And if it’s a female songwriter, it’s some chick whining about a guy cheating on her.

Actually Mccartney on his own or with Wings is not very influential for this reason...Mccartney had the pop sensibility and Lennon a more raw expressive quality...This is why much of Lennons work alone was very abstract...one track of yoko screaming and shit...or "Woman is the nggr of the world" by John..just pretty radical, non radio shit....while Wings recorded some very irrelevant disco songs...but Lennon and Mccartney together is where the magic happened.
