Led Zeppelin is the only band that comes anywhere near the Bealtes.  And Cream is my third favorite, you left them off of there too.  You also left off the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and the Allman Brothers Band.

And I don't like Nirvana that much either.  Gloomy music is alright in tiny doses, but I can't handle too much of it.  Music should be uplifting and beautiful, not spiritually marred and hateful.

Led Zeppelin is not the only band that comes close to the Beatles. Pink Floyd is better than Led Zeppelin, and the Doors, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and some other bands also come really close. And Neil Young and David Bowie, but they're not bands.

Other than those in the poll - Cream is great, The Doors are great, Hendrix is great.

Out of those 4 I picked Zeppelin mostly because of their range of songs that I really like. Floyd I think is very clever and soothing. Music with a message. The Who, well, they made some good hits. Rolling Stones will always be one of the greatest groups ever.

yeah it was a great time for music.  I wish Cream and hendrix had time to do more stuff, would be interesting to have seen them develop.

I listen to them all, but I'd have to pick Led Zeppelin.


Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band!

They're better than the Beatles, IMO.

Just that they have some pretty tough competition that's all. I mean they are all great bands no? Legends. All of them.

Yeah thats true, I agree with you Maccavlr.

Sometimes I even like Pink Floyd better than the Beatles, depends what mood I'm in.

The Rolling Stones are pretty awesome.  Some of their songs, like "Ruby Tuesday" and "Mother's Little Helper" are right up there alongside some of my favorite Beatles songs. 

40 Licks is an awesome cd set as well...

Yeah 40 Licks is probably the best "Best of" compilation.

As for real albums, Exile on Main street anyone?
