I have to say that (though many bands are and were fantastic) The Beatles are the ultimate Band. They did it all, and they changed rock music for everyone else. If it hadn't have been for them, many other bands would not have been as influential as they are today. Don't get me wrong though, I like many different bands.
I think the Beatles are good. But Frank Zappa & The Mothers are the best band.They created a unique style of all kind of sounds and they rock ass.
Well there are lots of "ultimate" bands. They're are many different bands whiched revolutionized music. But the Beatles did do it all first
