You cannot get better then The Beatles. They are by far the most influental and quality band.

Albums include:

Beatles Featuring Tony Sheridan (Basically the earliest example. Them backing Tony Sheridan and not all that good)

Please Please Me (First album. Responsible for I Saw Her Standing There, their kick ass version of Twist & Shout, Love Me Do and P.S. I Love You)

With The Beatles (Second album)

A Hard Days Night (Third album. Went along with their first movie)

Beatles For Sale (Fourth album. Responsible for their big hit Eight Days A Week, Words Of Love, Matchbox, Slow Down and others)

Help! (Went along with their second movie of the same name. Responsible for Help!, Ticket To Ride and Yesterday)

Rubber Soul (Sixth album. They were beginning their drug period during this album. You will notice the Sitar beginning to show up from George as well as John apparently inhailing reefer during the song "Girl")

Revolver (Seventh album. This album is good. It is responsible for songs like Yellow Submarine, And Your Bird Can Sing, Taxman and others)

Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Part 2 of the group's evolution. Has a "Theme" to it. Very good album but highly over rated like Abby Road)

The Beatles AKA The White Album (This was the double set album. Called "The White Album" because of its cover. This is one of the best albums by the group.)

Yellow Submarine (Soundtrack to the animated movie with other songs thrown in)

Abby Road (THE last album. It was the last recorded even though Let It Be was the last released. The album is pretty good but it is over rated to the max.)

Let It Be (Last released but not last recorded. Not a very good album compared to the others. Probably because they were getting ready to disband during it and conditions are arguements were going on during it)

A band from Liverpool, England in the 60's who were extremely infuential to modern music and "rock and roll."

With hits such as Hey Jude, Yesterday, Day Tripper, Come Together, Yellow Submarine, Blackbird, Sergeant Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band, and countless others, they are idolized and covered more than any other band in history.

Paul, John, Ringo & George - We love you!

Best Band in the world.

OK, The Beatles kick some serious ass. I'm gonna use a quote from the ultra Styrocen here:
"The most over-rated band on Earth. Seen as kinda cute by chicks in the 60's b/c they wore matching clothes. But the media blew it all out of proportion. Now, the new generation is raised, blindly beleiving that the Beatles changed history, because it was beaten into them."
Hahahahaha, this comming from the kid who likes Linkin Park. Oh look at me, I'm the guitarist from Linkin Park, I can play two chords and call it a song! And I don't know how to solo, thus I should just ram this guitar up my ass to make the world a better place. And yeah yo, we need two singers, wait we need a singer and an "emcee" yo. See, that craptastic emcee in Linkin Park is a waste of space. I could go on, but this is a definition of the Beatles.
The Beatles kick ass. It's funny to think how we listen to Yellow Submarine in kindergarten, when in reality all four of the Beatles we're high as shit when they wrote it. But that's ok, because unlike now, drugs wern't used to be cool, but to expand your mind (aka Jerry Garcia.) The best Beatles album is Abbey Road, with the White Album a close second. And I'm sure if you faggy "nu metal" kids would think the Beatles were more hardcore if you saw the original cover of the White Album.
Anyways, no band of today can stand up to the Beatles. Not your carppy emo bands who sing on their acoustic guitars about who their girlfriends left them, or those shit eating "ra...

The most popular and best-selling band in the world, even 30 years after they broke up.
Frequently dismissed by 13-year-olds as "old" and "over-rated", until they actually hear them for the first time.

The band that all the "punk" kids like to bash as "sissy" or "gay." What they don't realize is that without The Beatles, the bands they listen to now would never even be around.

you cannot deny quality. The Beatles is the grandest band in existence, and will forever be so. and for those who think otherwise... well, they should be fucked in the ass with pineapples.

Greatest Band Ever.
Fronted by John Lennon (or Paul McCartney, depending on who you ask.)
Came about in 1960 or so, switching drummers til they picked up Ringo Starr.
Usually insulted by today's ignorant youth. The same ignorant ones that say Linkin Park are musical gods. Pfft.
