I take it you’re a Doo Wop fan.

Without reading the article, I’m going to guess that I haven’t heard of at least half of these bands...

Yes, Led Zeppelin really did kill the music. Overrated song ripper-offers.

What he really meant was “11 bands I like better than The Beatles?” I have no gripe with that because everybody is entitled to their personal taste, but there’s not one band on that list that has had anywhere close to the influence or impact the Beatles had.

As far as raw musician`s talent in a band, ELO: The Electric Light Orchestra. Go to youtube for a free sampling of their works.

I almost took the list seriously until I saw Bruce Springsteen. The rest of the list I could see someone being able to make a reasonable argument. BS is on this list is pure BS. Most overrated and horrible performer of all time. I refuse to call him a musician.

While I’ve never been a Beatles fan that list is rather suspect. U2 started off well and got boring fast. Radiohead has never impressed. The Band could be brilliant but when they weren’t brilliant they were terrible and that usually happened on consecutive songs. I love the E Street Band but I just don’t like Bruce. IMHO you’ve got to get The Kinks in there, they did almost every innovation rock had before 1980 first, laying down the basis for metal, punk, theater rock, art rock, not to mention inventing distortion. Any list of defining bands that pushed the boundary that doesn’t start with The Kinks has missed the point.

I vote for the Rubber Band and its close cousin, the Castrating Band.

With a title of “11 bands”, there is no way they could be right. Face it, most of what the Beatles generated was bubblegum. If you even compare them with the Rolling Stones, and just to the point when the Beatles broke up, the Stones were artistically much, much better, and far more creative.

And comparisons fall apart when you bring in fully orchestrated groups like Pink Floyd, or Fleetwood Mac, ELO or Blue Oyster Cult, even simpler arrangements like The Doors were far more creative. The list just goes on and on.

Absolute BS! I’m betting that every member of those eleven bands would agree that The Beatles were the superior band.

The Beatles are overrated, and there’s nothing intrinsically special about them. Their fame derives from them being on the scene at the right point in time.

Any list without the Angry Samoans isn’t worth the paper it’s written on!

I disagree, they did add innovation, just in their own mold and style. It`s not bad stuff, I`m just a bit younger then that generation who adored them. I was a VERY little kid when they broke up and never really listened to them as an avid fan. As a little kid I was more into MoTown, till I discovered Rock.

the phenomena known as the beatles is so much more than their mediocre musical abilities. it was their departure from the main, their hair, the way they were marketed, the things they inspired. taken together, has anybody else even a small degree of effect upon society as the beatles?
