That’s my point. I can’t convince you to consider the Beatles the “best of all time” anymore than you can convince me to feel similarly about the Allmans. It’s subjective - to each his own. But I can objectively say the Beatles influenced a hell of lot more artists that the Allmans. BTW, I think the Allmans were/are great and have seen Greg Allman/Warren Haynes live 4 or 5 times over the years. They were phenomenal shows!
True enough. I would contend that a lot of that has to do with timing more than anything else. The Beatles were in a stronger position to influence others because they rose to prominence at an earlier point in time.
It's sort of like saying that Vince Lombardi influenced more football coaches than Bill Belichick, isn't it?
