I voted...but this is a fundamentally flawed question.

 

The Beatles CREATED the modern rock band.

 

It is impossible to conceive our world (musically) today without them.

Yes, but I don't think that obligates you to enjoy listening to them more than somebody else. That's an entirely different thing.

I think they're the best, but not my favorite. Kind of like how back in the 80's watching the Lakers, Magic was obviously the best, but Kurt Rambis was my favorite. He looked like such a goof and played on pure enthusiasm instead of raw talent. You couldn't help but love the guy in the horn-rimmed glasses!

My favorite-band-of-the-moment changes all the time, but the Beatles are consistently in the top three, and frequently # 1. Therefore, even though they're frequently (temporarily) displaced, yes, they're my favorite band ever.

i voted no because they simply are not my favorite band ever. once were, and will always be regarded very highly, but not my favorite.

 

however, Dig A Pony will always be one of my favorite songs.

Other favorites of mine over the years have been tull, zep, moody blues, stones, dead, u2 and now wilco. What constitues a favorite for me is I collect most everything of their catalog and listen to it basically non-stop for an extended period of time. The difference with the Beatles is that they are the band that I have ALWAYS had most (if not all) of their stuff on hand, and listen to it periodically non-stop. I bought Beatles CDs the week they went on sale.

I think it's obvious by now, isn't it?

 

I don't know. I reckon you've been spinning us all a line about what you think for some time now. This was your chance to finally own up and tell the truth, but you couldn't just go ahead and do it! Could you?

 

P.S Where is the "They are good, but not better than Tha Band" option?

I'm a man of mystery.

And, GD-it, I'm going to do it again when the remastered versions come out. Because the Beatles are now, and always been, my favorite band.

when I was little, one of the requirements for my babysitters was that he or she would be willing to pretend to play instruments with me along to the beatles red greatest hits record I had. My love for them has never waned since.

 

I'd say I'm more obsessive over wilco in recent years, but no one will ever take the place of the beatles.
