Universally respected groups - The Beatles

[Uncle Leo]

Stones, now that is the definition of overated. About 4-5 good songs ever, and She's A Rainbow was basically a rip off from the band Love anyway.

Many more than I'd say, although admittedly you probably need to go back to the 1980s for their last great song (Start Me Up)

 

[Supernaut]

Try a band called West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band.

Now we're talking. Although my favourite WCPAEB album is probably the last one, which they released under the name Markley and is basically a pop album.

I did like one of the new ones from last year....

There have a been a few decent ones - I liked Love Is Strong and Stealing My Heart - but nothing really top drawer (in my humble opinion).

Pfft. The Voodoo Lounge album was excellent.

Just listening to this, I can hear Lennon & McCartney all over it. I think it was Ringo Starr who came up with the idea of "spitting" over 16 bars.

Having a Beatles sesh today. Still easily, (in my eyes) the Greatest Band EVER!

Was reading a translation of an Uncut interview with Macca earlier today.Would agree they were a great band, though not my favourite at the time.

I wasn't born until they split and my siblings and parents had a fairly awful musical tastes so I don't really know why, or how they got into my consciousness. I remember at school, an old hippy music teacher getting us 13yr olds to sing Maxwells Silver Hammer - which was in sharp contrast to the other music teacher playing Beethoven & Brahms. :zzzzz:(though I love a bit of classical too these days).

When I saw this thread resurrected I was going to check out the deadpool to see whether it was Macca or Ringo who had gone!!

[Rusty Shackleford]

Never been a great fan of The Beatles. I don't despise their music but it just doesn't seem very special to me. As a child of the 80s, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode and The Human League are the artists I regard as seminal.

Having an anti-Beatles session today. Still easily the most overrated band in the world. I never answered the question but I would put The Beach Boys, The Kinks and Fleetwood Mac ahead of them.

No such thing as a universally liked/respected musical act, and thank god there isn't. If there was it would suggest that either we all had the same taste, or even worse, there was only one type of music. And that would be ****ing boring.

However, I'll throw David Bowie into the ring.

Bowie has knocked out a lot of **** over the years....

So would I, but only if Hulk Hogan is there to beat the crap out of him.

Pink Floyd have got to come close to being universally liked.

I don't think they're very big in Israel - link.

Nope, don't like them at all. And I can't think of a single pop/rock act that is universally liked, I think you maybe need to be looking for someone like The Jam for instance, or Madness...Duran Duran? Light pop.
