Of this group, the Stones, with Floyd running a close second. All others need not apply.

btw, I loved the U2 description!

Songs like this are the reason The Beatles are the greatest. 😁

Just two typical songs that are out of the many Beatles songs that are the backbone of their discography and are like little gems you find placed in between huge classic songs that take you on magical mystery tours.

One by John and one by Paul.

It's no big deal 😄

Fair enough, it might rub a lot of people the wrong way 😨

My logic for this is simple. All three of these band have made 4+ albums that I consider perfection. Not to mention the rest of their discography's are good also. How many groups can you say that about? Most bands have just a couple of good albums and yet some of you still say they are the best. Of course this is a matter of taste, but I would hope that any band you consider the best would have (in your opinion) more then just a few great albums.

I'm sure most people feel that their favorite artist has multiple great albums/songs/whatever.

For the sake of the argument, I'll nominate 4:

Prince
The Cure
Eurythmics
Björk

All have several 5-star albums in my book. These artists present such singular and vibrant sounds and images and have inspired hosts of followers. However, I'm sure many would scoff at the notion of any of these being the best ever, just as I scoff at the notion of Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Pink Floyd.

I think it's far more interesting, accurate and worthwhile to celebrate who we view as favorites as opposed to engaging in tired and cliched pissing contests over some mythical and nonexistent true hierarchy of "greatness".

I thought about responding point by point, but I think my statement stands for itself and covers everything you said.

I just wanted to add the fact that in the case of Led Zeppelin in particular.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN MAKE A BAD SONG, LET ALONE AN ALBUM

So if you don't call The Beatles the greatest band on Earth ever, you're a Beatles hater?

Dude, you rated it 10/100 on the site :o

It's still messing up on me for some reason. 🤬

I was able to fix a couple but not some others.

And it kept giving a 0 rating for things no matter what I did.

It's very time consuming and frustrating.

I did 😲

I know for a while that my ratings were getting messed up and they were all 0's 5's and 10's. Even for peoples charts 🫢

But that was a glitch that hasn't happened lately.

Let me check this out.
