The Beatles have staying power. Let`s see how many of todays singers(?) still get regular airplay or still come out with records long after they are gone. The same with Elvis.Lets see where these rappers will be 50 years later. We wont be around to see but I am willing to bet that I am right. Right fine art

I'm just glad we all have different tastes

I think The Beatles musical evolution was interesting to live through. I enjoyed their earlier works when I was a kid, but their more complex efforts were great as well. I wonder how much their music would have changed if they stayed together and continued their musical growth. I know the individual efforts of the band members were relatively successful.

I stand corrected.

By the way I agree with you about rap. I am sure it should be spelt with a capital 'C' lol

Hard to pick "best" bands without lining up a bunch of measuring sticks like overall skill level, cohesiveness, inventiveness, longevity, financial success, etc., etc., etc. Personally, I can't get below ten personal favorites (not in any particular order)

1) Jethro Tull
2) Pink Floyd
3) Steely Dan
4) Yes
5) Genesis
6) Beatles
7) Wishbone Ash
8) Rush
9) Led Zeppelin
10) Tangerine Dream

These groups all have / had long and successful careers doing their music in their way, without flopping around trying the please the critics. Funny thing, half of this list could be different on another day.

Thanks for the welcome, Topdown;

The favorite will always be Jethro Tull, and their tune that I'd like to depart from this earth to would be "Life's a Long Song".

Good choice. I might enjoy the irony of "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day", but yours is likely the better choice.
