There are a number of bands I’d pick over the Beatles. Musically they really weren’t all that special. The Beach Boys were even better both vocally and musically.
The Beatles in 5 years wrote rubber soul revolver Sgt peppers. Mystery tour white album abbey road and let it be..besides led zeppelin nobody has put out that many consecutive influential albums in that span of time

With a tip of the cap to the amazing Beach Boys, The Who and The Kinks, you can choose from the following list:
The Beatles
Thank you and good night.
My three year old niece and nephew could no doubt compose better tunes than the “Stinks.” For a band that’s been around since the days cavemen walked the Earth, you’d figure they’d have a much more impressive body of work. LOLA is the rock and roll equivalent of “CHOPSTICKS.” It’s tuneless, boring, repetitive, and just a horrible song by a horrible band. There’s zero excitement to them. I think even the DiFranco Family had more pizazz to their songs. The “Stinks” just didn’t have that charismatic, song busting commando, lead singer like Daltrey, Morrison, Jagger, Kay, McGuinn, etc. And spare me the tired old, “but they were part of the British Invasion.” Yeah, yeah we all know that, but so what. Zeppo was part of the Marx Brothers, and he’s missed like the last turd I flushed down.
Yes, REALLY Liz. Can you honestly say that the coma inducing “You really got me” is in the same league as “Light My Fire” or “Won’t Get Fooled Again”? Or is the yawn inducing (do they have anything BUT?) “All Day And All Of The Night” comparable to “8 Miles High”, “Born To Be Wild”, or The HOLLIES “Long Dark Road”?
You are so wrong about the Kinks. Come on… You Really Got Me? 20th Century Man? All Day And All Of The Night? Really?
Exactly… but don’t even waste your time, Liz… Lanza’s been banging his head on the idiot wall so long, that whatever he posts in these threads is pretty much just drool. He thinks The Kinks suck, Muhammad Ali was overrated and Sarah Palin is the best. Lanza has actually hit the trifecta of stupid. So congrats to him… I guess.
Again….more nonsense, absurdity, and illogic from everyones favorite jackass, the one and only ZenPoop. Even though common sense says never argue with a retard, I’ll try the impossible, and inject some facts into ZenPoop’s fattening head at this late date. (Empty pause for several long, uncomfortable minutes as ZenPoop finishes struggling through the above 2 sentences. No problem. We have plenty of time….yawn) Finished yet? No? Too bad, we’re moving on. Okay then. NEVER did I ever say ANYWHERE that Sarah Palin is “the best.” Can you show us exactly where I said that? We didn’t think so. So that’s just more fiction and fabrication being formulated by that steaming load of freshly evacuated watery feces residing inside your head. It’s alright, since no one had ever accused you of bringing much credibility to the table in the first place, we weren’t expecting much from you. Getting back to what I was saying before, I said Sarah was attractive…not “the best.” There is a difference you know. Maybe when the Special Ed kid who’s tutoring you gets you completely through the entire alphabet you will understand better, but we’re not holding our breath waiting for that to happen. Whoever was reading my post to you either read it to you incorrectly, or you weren’t paying attention, simple as that. As for Muhammad Ali, I wouldn’t expect a “keyboard commando drip” like you to know too much about the sweet science of boxing. Squash, and Dungeons and Dragons maybe, but certainly not boxing. And yes, he was overrated, and I’ll be happy to prove it to anyone who wants to discuss it on my post. Even though I’m sure you’re pretty ignorant in your knowledge of boxing, you’re probably familiar with physical violence in some shape or form, more than likely from being separated from your lunch money every day on the school bus. Say goodnight, ZenPoop.
Good to know you’re capable of actually learning. I’m glad you’re finally admitting that Sarah Palin is disgusting piece of crap. Breathe in the air of reality. It’ll help you. Now you can turn your attention to getting to understand the sport of boxing. Clearly you’ve been hit in the head too many times. Sorry about that. They’re called concussions. Hopefully you’ll get over them… but judging by your moronic take on The Kinks, I doubt it. Night, night, poor, little dim-bulb, Lanzer!

My own personal favorite is STEPPENWOLF
STEPPENWOLF had better songs in their 5 year peak from 68-72, then the STINKS had in their countless year career. You really think “Lola” compares to “Born To Be Wild? ” Does “You Really Got Me” match up with “Magic Carpet Ride”? I’m not saying the STINKS wouldn’t sell out a concert venue much faster than STEPPENWOLF (Mainly due to too many people like you who have their taste in their ass) but it doesn’t make their crappy music any better. STEPPENWOLF was never a mainstream band, they were more of a cult band.Than again ZenPoop, stick to the music you’re most familiar with, like Liza Minelli Showtunes.
I believe STEPPENWOLF is a better band, but then again, a hardcore biker band like them probably makes you shit yourself when you hear them, so you’re more comfy listening to your own boring, wimpy, drippy bands, Lo-lo-lo-lo-lola……LMAO. Every time you inhale and exhale it makes the world a sadder place. Now put your crack pipe down, and go back to having wet dreams about Ray Davies. Your stupidity, which was amusing at first, is now getting tiresome. Say Goodnight, ZenPoop.
Actually asshole, both THE ARCHIES and MONKEES were pretty good bubblegum bands. Ron Dante, who was the lead singer of the ARCHIES was also the lead singer of the CUFFLINKS which had a big hit with TRACY, another classic bubblegum tune. Now if we throw you a stick will you finally disappear?
I’m playing you like a banjo. I’m a fan of pop music… including “Sugar, Sugar,” and a lot of The Monkees’ songs. I think Steppenwolf is talented. But you come off like a complete idiot when talking about The Kinks… so I thought I’d fight fire with fire.
But I’ve grown weary of your turgid takes… so have at it.
You’re not playing anybody, Mr. Coward. I’m actually having a lot of fun with this. You seem to be the nerdy, little drip who deludes himself into thinking he’s getting over on someone, when you really haven’t a clue as to how the game is played. Just the fact that you’re at this site at all shows you’re probably a fan of many of the same groups. I gave you my opinion of the STINKS. I said they’re way overrated when you compare them to other groups of that same era like THE BEATLES, STONES, WHO, HOLLIES, BYRDS, THE DOORS and many others. My opinion. Now go back to spilling your juices over Ray Davies.

Naturally, this question is meaningless — it’s impossible to pick one BEST musician or group — but to the extent that it’s possible to select one outstanding entry, of course it’s the Beatles. People who like to describe the Beatles are “overrated” are just trying to clever (or are actually ignorant). We don’t judge them from the perspective of today; they no longer mean what they once did. You judge them by their importance in their time.
