One of the, yes.
Yea they are good.
But I wouldn't say greatest ever.
Four million times better than the Beatles though, cheesy pop band like S Club 7.
Actually S Club 7 is better, Rachel Stevens mmmmmmmmm.
They are no Pink Floyd, or Queen for example....

Call me Dr. Jones.
Fun fact, my uncle is a former band member

The Rolling Stones isn't even 10% of CCR.

Yea I'd listen to CCR over The Stones.
The stones were greatest up until 1972 ish. But still great afterwards. In fact most bands of that era were and i have a lot of vinyl that shows it.
Dissing the Beatles output shows greater ignorance, in the seven years or so that they charted, they produced some epic original music.

They are ok
Never really got the Beatles or the Stones. I guess you had to be there at the time. I go back occasionally, bone of it does it for me.
However I found Queen to be the "old" band I'd listen to while growing up in the 90s and still massively enjoy today.

Please, please, please list some. I am honestly desperate to "get" the Beatles.
Exile on Main Street. That's my go-to album rather than ones with the better known songs.
GOAT? I doubt it but at their peak they were there or thereabouts in terms of what they produced.
I'm just astonished so many of them are still alive. Right enough I thought that about Keith Richards in the 1980s

I have Hard Days Night, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Seargent Peppers, Abbey Road and the White Album on Vinyl. However i can listen to any playlist and find something to enjoy. Once they stopped touring and became a studio band they were much more inventive instrumentally. Comparison with S club 7 are puerile. Lennon McCartney were a composing tour de force.
plus you have to look at it in context, the group and the producer , George Martin, started making music that never had been heard before. What was genuinely new then is taken for granted now, so its kind of easy for newer generations to dismiss them somewhat.

I've been to 1000s of concerts since 1971 but the worst I have attended was this and I was so looking forward to it 
Outside somebody offered me £200 for my ticket and I really wish I'd sold it.

but yes they are a great band but a 100th of The Beatles.

I saw them last, once and only, in Hyde Park after the death of Brian Jones. I never seemed to catch them in concert again. Their forte is blues and a liking for countrified rock ballads whereas the Beatles seemed to have many more strings to their bow.

If you look at that setlist there was very little rock n roll on it and I remember the massive banner stating The Greatest Rock n Roll Band In The World.
I have nothing against Soul Music and you'll find me at Northern Soul and Motown nights but I wasn't expecting it at this concert.
We walked in to Soul Music.
The support act was Soul.
The Stones came on and played 75% of their slow soulful material also giving Billy Preston around 15 minutes on his own material.
They did no encore and we walked out to soul.
It amazes me how many people have no respect for the Beatles however most major rock bands in the World cite them as an influence.
I was always an old Beatles material fan until I started to play in a Beatles 'tribute' that did their newer material and learning that stuff made me realise what great musicians and minds they were.
