What is the best band ever?

The band that moved me the most when I was a teen was "Love", now I like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Gov't Mule.

sh*t. wrong spelling. thanks for not castigating me. i will add steely dan & dave matthews on my list as well. all though DMB has been on a decline, they still influenced and shaped my love for music.

I'm quite sure if you asked the major artists/bands from 1963 to present, the answer would overwhelmingly be The Beatles.

The music for certain. However, no group or individual has come close to approaching their impact on music, politics, and society.

I suspect Dylan, although not a band, would be the next biggest influence.

I actually agree with Audiofeil. Beatles by far.

Miles Davis Sextet (1958-Kind of Blue version), featuring John Coltrane (tenor sax), Bill Evans (piano), Paul Chambers (double bass), Julian "Cannonball" Adderly (Alto Sax) and Jimmy Cobb on the drums.

Cheers,
John
