oh yeah forgot about DJ Danger Mouse

That's a pretty ingenious dude right there. never woulda thought those bands would work, but he's a pretty smart guy. although it isn't as good as the Beatles, it's still better than Jay-Z's beats...in my opinion.

I'm a little disappointed that Octopus's Garden and Yellow Submarine are on the list but In My Life, Something, and Let It Be/Yesterday aren't.

These almost always appear on many top Beatles songs lists but are absent from yours. Any reasoning behind that? Just don't like those particulars? Curious is all because it is not a very common thing to slide against the grain, you know?

And as far as them being the greatest band of all time, you're absolutely right. But the reason listed, to me, feel a bit off. The Beatles are the greatest band to ever come along not because of their technical proficiency (just the opposite in fact! None of them could read music) but the fact that they could take something so simple and make it appeal to the masses. They spoke for an entire generation. Nothing like them had ever come around. George Martin and the Beatles were absolute trail blazers (pun intended?) in the field of audio engineering (first intentional use of distortion, making 8 and 16 track recorders off of 4 tracks, their composition, use of effects, and perfection of reverse tracking using a pencil are all their claim to fame)

It was the fact that the Beatles were in a right place, right time situation. Forever changing modern music, they are most likely the archetype for countless bands. There will never be another band like them.

I will agree that they were very influental for their time but not one of the greatest bands of all time. They had a few tracks that where great but nothing compared to the revolutionary music that came from Pink Floyd or Led Zeplin. Those guys where way ahead of their time! The B-Boys where more trendy that revolutionary. Sorry to say it.

You're absolutely right. Part of what made all three bands so great is they were doing things that were so far ahead of their time, it was absurd. Pink Floyd with the beginnings of LSD, Zep with their magnificent brand of rock and roll, and the Beatles with a reform of music as we knew it.

Listen to Revolution No. 9 off of 'The Beatles' and try to fathom what sort of process was used in '68 to do that. For a start, I know John and Yoko had to take the spools of recording tape off the spool, tape the beginning and end together, and run it as a loop AROUND pencil a couple feet away just to get a sound in reverse. This was something that had never been attempted.

It was George Martin that was the genius behind it all though. As an example, listen to the original Let It Be album which was recorded by Phil Spector. Then listen to Let It Be...naked which was recorded by George Martin. That's all I need to say on that.

cheers everyone.
