Hola amigos
well, we have the oldest music discussion on the hystory... which is the BEST band from all times ?
First, we have to be serious if we want to have a real good discussion here, and not say easily "MY BAND IS THE BEST, YOURS IS CRAP" and things like that
So we have to say some objetive comments, togheter with our personal feelings.
THE BEATLES has been the most succesful Band from all times, no one can refuse that
also almost EVERY artist ( including U2 ) has recognized their influence. Do you remember U2 played Dear Prudence snippet during War Tour 1983 ?, Help on 1986 and 1987 ? Helter Skelter on 1987 ?, etc, etc.
THE ROLLING STONES is an obligatory influence for any Rock & Roll band like THE STROKES, LED ZEPPELIN or others.
LED ZEPPELIN has been the most influencial Rock band since late 60´s ( again, including U2, do you remember Whole Lotta Love snippet during Pop Mart Tour 1997 ? ), and togheter with PINK FLOYD has been the most succesful band after THE BEATLES.
PINK FLOYD has the second best sold record from all times, after Michael Jackson: The Wall. Also, for many critics The Wall Live has been the best ever live act from the hystory.
U2 has been the most succesful band since 80´s and influence from almost every band from U.K: RADIOHEAD, COLDPLAY, TRAVIS, KEANE, etc. No other band from 80´s has been so important, except U2.
I think any serious music discussion must include these bands
THE BEATLES
THE ROLLING STONES
LED ZEPPELIN
PINK FLOYD
U2
