You didn't have to put in the qualifiers. The Eagles are the answer.

Listening to Robert Plant screech is painful
Worst take I have seen on this board and that is saying something.

Has any one band ever lived off of one mediocre album more?
Other than Nirvana? (and the Sex Pistols)

Just a few facts:
- The Beatles have sold more records (183 million) than Led Zeppelin (111.5 million) and The Stones (66.5 million) combined.
- 20 Billboard #1's in roughly 8 years (1963-1970)
- Only band to hold the top 5 spots on the Billboard 100 At The Same Time.
- Lennon, McCartney & Harrison All had several #1 albums during their solo career's. Even Ringo have 2 #1 singles in the 1970's. What other band members have had that kind of solo success? Plant, Page, Jagger, Richards, anybody?
But OK...if you say so.
Here's my take on The Beatles. From Revolver on solid stuff. Not the best stuff, probably the most influential stuff but that is not the same thing. My problem is that pre-Revolver they were basically the 60s version of a boy band. There is nothing special whatsoever about songs like I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Love Me Do, I Saw Her Standing There, Please Please Me, She Loves You, etc. There is a reason Bob Dylan wasn't impressed with them when he met them during this stage of their career. When people claim The Beatles are the best band ever they mean the LSD influenced Beatles from 1966 or 1967 on, not the moptops from 1964 and 1965.

quote:In short, the Beatles were a rupture — they changed modern history, and no less a craftsman than Bob Dylan understood the meaning of their advent. “They were doing things nobody else was doing,” he later told his biographer Anthony Scaduto. “But I just kept it to myself that I really dug them. Everybody else thought they were just for the teenyboppers, that they were gonna pass right away. But it was obvious to me that they had staying power. I knew they were pointing the direction that music had to go. . . . It seemed to me a definite line was being drawn. This was something that never happened before.” -- Bob Dylan on first hearing The Beatles in 1964

I'm just going by what John Lennon said Dylan told him. Basically told him that their songs don't say anything.
