    Of course you're entitled to an opinion. You just need to understand that your opinion does not become fact, simply because you hold it.

    Personally, I don't believe that anyone has surpassed them, regardless of what criteria you choose to apply.

  • Take That.
  • The Stan Arnold Combo

  • Not a group but a Giant none the less, in the entertainment industry.

    He had the number one record in England for more weeks than Elvis and The Beatles.

    His influence on the Beatles, and later Michael Jackson is the stuff of legend.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slim_Whitman

    "Beatle George Harrison cited Whitman as an early influence: "The first person I ever saw playing a guitar was Slim Whitman, either a photo of him in a magazine or live on television. Guitars were definitely coming in."[18] When a young Paul McCartney purchased his first guitar, the left-handed musician was unsure how to play an instrument that was manufactured and strung for a right-handed player. It was not until McCartney saw a picture of Whitman playing left-handed that he re-strung his guitar so that he too could play left-handed.[19][20] American pop singer Michael Jackson cited Whitman as one of his ten favorite vocalists.[21]"

    We can never forget...

      I hope to do that, as soon as you provide something that can be classified as enjoyable. :-)

  • The Rolling Stones. The Beatles were a studio band with the all the onstage charisma of a fake plant. 45 years after the Beatles broke up, The Stones will be releasing another new album in a couple of months.

      I care about the music, not the performance.

      Some folks don't know when to pack it in. Let's cut John and George some slack for dying. lol

      The Stones tried to be the Beatles with HSMR. Not a bad album, but far from original. I don't even put the bands in the same genre. The Stones are great at what they do, but the Beatles are better at what they did, IMHO, of course.

      Personally, I'll take Tho Doors, most days of the week over either of them.

  • Bands are all so different there is no real way to say which one is the greatest. Which is better a rose, a tulip, an orchid..?

    Depending on my mood... the greatest group since the Beatles (in no particular order)...

    Led Zeppelin... Stones... Who... Blind Faith... Traffic... Allman Brothers... Greatful Dead... Dire Straits... Buffalo Springfield... Jefferson Airplane... CSN&Y... Doors... Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers... Pink Floyd... The Band... Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band... Derek and the Dominos... Cream... The Moody Blues... Travelling Wilburys... A few others I am forgetting...

    I do agree with Big Frank though... I don't think any group has surpassed the Beatles!

    "THE VOICE OF A GENERATION"

    2016 Nobel Prize In Literature Awarded To Bob Dylan

    Ask the Beatles who they regarded as one of the greatest songwriters when they were getting started.

    STOCKHOLM, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Bob Dylan, regarded as the voice of a generation for his influential songs from the 1960s onwards, has won the Nobel Prize for Literature in a surprise decision that made him the only singer-songwriter to win the award.

    The 75-year-old Dylan - who won the prize for "having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition" - now finds himself in the company of Winston Churchill, Thomas Mann and Rudyard Kipling as Nobel laureates.

    Greetings,

    Many consider this song to be the definitive example of classic doo-wop. Actually, it came at the end of the doo-wop era, but was viewed as the culmination of the genre.

    Two minutes of great music. :-)

  • For consistently good songwriting over time I would say that Elton John, The Eagles and David Bowie would be contenders.

      Elton John only writes half of all the songs. He has a partner on every one. Many people wrote Eagle's songs over the years, including people that were not in the band. Not sure about Bowie, but I wouldn't but him even close to being in the same league as the Beatles, nor any of your other honorable mentions, for that matter.

  • From the same era, Jon Entwhistle (The Who) leaves him for dead. After the Beatles people like Chris Squire and Geddy Lee have done things with the bass that would leave McCartney's fingers tangled up in the strings.

    • From the evidence of the clip in post #22, I'd say Keith Richards is a better bass guitarist than Macca.
