Do you mean our favorite band or what we think is the best band in the world?
Theres been like a million threads on either, but ok, im not a ***** when it comes to bumping my postcount.
Fave band at the moment: Metallica
Best band in the world IMO: Im way to ignorant to even think of answering this question.

What is it with people saying the Beatles are overrated? You may not like their music, but you must recognize the enormous influence they had on music... Remember that there was a time when the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. 🙂
Now Great, Tool maybe? but Im just throwing that out.
Yep I agree with Tp. I believe the Beatles are hugely overrated. They were popular at the time, and they did influence a lot of (if not all) bands in some way, but they sound ridiculously small when compared to say Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd. Although they were great musicians, no doubt about that.
Their iconic status is unquestionable, but music-wise IMO they were basically just a talented pop group.
It sounds cliche but the Beatles were the best band ever that I can think of. They had so much great material and you may think their overrated and they are but name me a band that could be considered the greatest ever that couldn't be considered overrated. Unless you give me some underground band that nobody's heard of I'd be willing to bet you can't name one.
Notice how I haven't actually posted a band in this thread. I never said anything about my own views as to the best band in the world, I just gave my reasons for thinking the Beatles are overrated. In fact, I know there is no such thing as a 'greatest band ever'. Music is one of the few things in life that is entirely down to opinions, and so there is absolutely no way you can set any band in stone as the greatest of all time.
Actually I was talking to the guy who said the Beatles weren't great but Tool are. Tool, as great as they are, are overrated. Especially by people who consider them to be the best band ever. I don't see how anyone could say the Beatles weren't great.. They had more than just a big influence they have great music. They wrote awesome songs and had more consistency than any other band I've ever seen. What beatles albums have you listened to anyway Tptmanno?
