Exactly, they were just products at the end of the day and did'nt break any boundaries, take risks or change the face of music like some of the others did. Success does not always equal greatness, I mean just take a look at Westlife. :lol:

 

But it was based on the votes of the public at the end of the day to see who they thought was the best.

Some good names in there, but it has to be The Beatles - no contest.

Queen come second for me.

The Beatles were not groundbreaking though, they never invented any genres they were the original "Boy Band", a slick marketing exercise

They changed the face of pop music and inspired alot more people than the others on that list IMO. Lennon and McCartney were two of the most gifted songwriteres of all time and have written far more timeless classics than the others if you ask me. ^_^

Don't get me wrong I liked much of the music the Beatles did :) my "boy band" comment was based really on their early stuff and the hype of the screaming girls wherever they went, their mid era was very largely influenced by Chuck Berry who also influenced the Stones and then the latter psychadelic era was already underway by the time the Beatles bought out their latter stuff

 

I would say historically Chuck Berry is far more influential than The Beatles :)

Chuck Berry was extremly influential but most of the young bands over the last number of decades have all said the Beatles are their heros and inspiration etc. But John Lennon did once say that if you were to give rock n roll another name, you could call it Chuck Berry ^_^

Spice Girls shouldn't be in there because they are NOT a BAND. They are a GROUP. They never played any instuments and although I don't know I highly doubt they wrote many of their lyrics either :|
i voted Spice Girls, although Queen i think are the best band of all time.

I agree. MelC may have written a few tracks but I don't know. Anyway as you say they are not a band. -_-
