Most POPULAR rock band ever

The Beatles definitely and I may see that tribute band "the fab 4" in Clearwater soon.

But my fav has to be Pink Floyd. I remember tripping on some really good acid back in 87 for their Momentary lapse Of Reason Tour. Then again for 3 more of their concerts...

 

The Beatles were legendary.
It's often said that each song on the White Album could have been broken into 4 different songs.
Paul and John had way too much creativity in their hands.

 

I voted for the Rolling Stones, The Beatles can't be classed as rock surely.

 

Regarding Rolling Stones. Listen to 'Ruby Tuesday'. One of their first singles was a cover of the Beatles' 'I want to be your man'.

Excerpt from a Garcia biography that describes the Beatles:
"The Beatles were why we turned from a jug band into a rock and roll band," said Bob Weir (Founding member of the Grateful Dead).

Kurt Cobain wrote 'About a Girl' after listening to 'Meet the Beatles' for three straight hours.

U2 covered 'Helter Skelter' and performed 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' at the Live 8 concert in London.

Eddie Van Halen was influenced by The Beatles.

(There are too many rock musicians influenced by The Beatles to mention. Just Google it.)

 

I put my vote in for Greenday

 

I beg to differ.

- Wiki

Pop rock or whatever rock they made be, they're still a rock band.

 

I think Bon Jovi should be on that list as well, i would vote for them...
