    I am not asking what "your favorite bands are," I am asking what you think are the 5 best bands of all time. And I do not think it is a matter of opinion, I could say that I love Nickelback, but it is a known fact that they are not one of the best 5 bands ever

    How are you determining best? Best creativity? Best musicianship? Most influential? I could go on and on. There is no way to answer this question.

    The Beatles

    Everyone else... Beatles aren't my favourite band... But in my opinion, they're by far the best. They wrote great simple pop songs. Slow piano ballads. They could even rock about as hard as anyone at the time.
  • MB_Angel10MB_Angel10 Posts: 43
    BEATLES, THE 170
    LED ZEPPELIN 111.5
    EAGLES 100
    PINK FLOYD 74.5
    AC/DC 71

    Since I can't use personal taste or any opinion in this thread, I'll go with bands that have sold the most albums (I removed individual artists from the list). According to strictly album sales, these are the best bands of all time. However, if I were to use musical preference and my own opinion, my list would not be this (although The Beatles would still be on it).

    The number one slot should be filled in by the original poster already. The question should be, who are the number 2, 3, 4 and 5 bands of all time. Anyone who doesnt put the Beatles at number one is delusional and should seek medical help immediately.

    1 is easy as I said, but 2-5 are difficult to pin down. most influential or best as in your personal favorites?

    Personally I think the Beatles shouldn't be automatically number one. The Beatles didn't influence me directly at all.

    Just because the Model T was the 1st Ford, doesn't it make it the best one ya know?

    Agreed. I think people often overrate the Beatles.
