not being old enough to have seen anything live from the Beatles I can't say if they were the best but.....if like The Beatles, a load more "mersey beat" bands were middle class and had the money they had, would they had been able to goto Europe when The Beatles did? and taken the world by storm....

“Here’s the deal: my father was born in Everton, my family are officially Evertonians, so if it comes down to a derby match or an FA Cup final between the two, I would have to support Everton.
“But after a concert at Wembley Arena I got a bit of a friendship with Kenny Dalglish, who had been to the gig and I thought ‘You know what? I am just going to support them both because it’s all Liverpool and I don’t have that Catholic-Protestant thing.
“So I did have to get special dispensation from the Pope to do this but that’s it, too bad. I support them both.
“They are both great teams.
“But if it comes to the crunch, I’m Evertonian.”

From an 'Observer Monthly' interview he gave last year, before the concert at...Anfield.

The second most famous band then. The Elastic one.

Thank you Sir (y)
 

I was watching sporadically, the Help film with them earlier tonight. I couldn't work out if it was a piece of hawking such genius or a bad peter docherty experience.

Made in 1965 it showed the band as everyone remembers them at their peak, made after a hard days night and before the split five or so years later.

It's easy for Merseyside born individuals to say they were the best, but that covers a lot of ground, people from outside the area may beg to differ. Good sounds though.
 
I think it's fair to say they were the world's best pop combo & one could argue they've still not been bettered. However, once you widen the criteria to the best band in the world ever that brings in all other categories & such as Led Zeppelin would have a strong case. That Glenn Miller chap had a decent band too!

I am like u. But then I think do we take them for granted?
Did most of the pop,rock n' roll scene happen because of them? probably.
What bites me is that they we're not your avarage lads on the street, they we're very middle class gang of lads that played on a village fate(wrong spelling) with music lesson's and making a band that had all the best oppotunities to get on in life anyway. hey we're given the dough to go to Europe early doors and spread the word of the beatles......THE LUCKY BASTARDS
 
Beatles were slightly too early more me, had their last #1 in '69, and had split when I was too young to remember, I prefer and acknowledge other Scouse bands such as FGTH, Echo and the Bunnymen and er, anyone else from there who was half-successful in the 80s.

With apologies to sonia.
 
No one else comes close.

Every thing about the band, the way they started to to all their hits, to their lifestyles and their ultimate demise epitomises music culture. They were truly iconic and never will be bettered, because they did it first.
