[auburngrad82]

19. That would be the Tremendous Trio, not the Fab Four. nt

[BillStein]

3. The Fab Four

certainly the most influential

[auburngrad82]

18. Actually the greatest unknown band of all time had a huge influence on the Beatles

The Funk Brothers of Motown. They played on pretty much all of Motown's big hits with no credit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Funk_Brothers

The Beatles even did some Motown covers:

Money
You've Really Got a Hold On Me
Mr Postman

The Stones also covered Motown a few times, so the Funk Brothers could be noted as one of the most influential bands of all time.

4. Holy hell I have to chose between some great bands?

Well it is the Beatles....only because they really started it all...they did it by writing and producing their own music and taking music out of the dead zone of corporate control.

16. I can't pick one best band

I love all of the bands listed and at various times in their careers they could have been voted on as the world's greatest band. Hell, critics were calling the Ramones the greatest band in the world back in the punk heyday. So I can't pick a best band of all time.

5. I'm going with the Boss

Good musicianship, political awareness, the least "show" or cult of personality surrounding him.

[Beer Snob-50]

6. WHILE I WOULD AGREE THAT THE BOSS IS OUTSTANDING AND A CLOSE SECOND

NO FUCKING VOTES FOR THE STONES!!!! COME ON PEOPLE.

[HappyMe]

14. I had a hard time choosing between

Pink Floyd & the Stones.

I went with Pink Floyd. Happens to be the cd I had on at the time.

[hifiguy]

7. The Beatles.

Without them rock would never have developed into the same cultural force that it did. Apres Le Beatles, le deluge.

[Iggo]

8. I can't choose.

All's I know is it ain't U2 or The Boss.

[retread]

9. You do mean Rock bands don't you?

[Bake]

10. What? Where's Rush???

Bake

[Dr. Strange]

11. No Rush, no vote.

[Rex]

20. Beatles...thought little disappointed Pink doesn't

have more votes.

Beatles then Floyd.

[bluedigger]

21. Today? Bruce. Tomorrow? ...

That's kind of a weird top 10. Sabbath and King Crimson? Really?

[Flaxbee]

22. I just realized the other day that I don't really like the Beatles. I like their individual efforts

better. Maybe it's just overexposure, but I change the station when I hear them come on. I do recognize the huge impact they had on music, culture, etc. But I just don't like 'em much.
