I'd pick Zep over The Beatles as well.

When you get best drummer lists
Best singer lists
Best guitarist lists
none of the Beatles appear on them.
They were the best songwriters, but not the best band.


I've seen them in concert. But if we're going in that direction.. Gong!

their drummer balazs szende was my college mate :pimp :2 cents: :thumbsup
he is a superb drummer and his story how he joined the band is absolutely amazing!!!

Good point. McCartney is the only Beatle respected for his musicianship. Fantastic bass player.

The Beatles looked up to and tried to be like Elvis...
Elvis tried to be like ...

wow that's quite awesome! (isn't he Szanda btw?;)

and hidria space folk, for that matter (shared the stage with them in 2006). and hawkwind. and... tons of others. :)

For me, it is Parkway Drive

He was a truly great bassist and singer, one of the best, but they all were respected players. The others weren't the greatest singers.

Paul M though pound for pound could go against any double threat and even some single threats like Robert Plant. Listen to "I've got a feeling" and then try it yourself. That was recorded live.

Clearly Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin had better guitarists but that's a very high bar, and just one metric.

I see your Band Maid and raise you one Babymetal



:upsidedow

Cream
Led Zepplin
Pink Floyd
Crosby Stills Nash
Beatles
Genesis (up to Duke)
The Who

Beatles - Eagles

I love baby metal :thumbsup

Megadeth > Metallica

TLDR; Dave Mustaine is a much better guitar player and way faster than any Metallica guitar player

Better drummers too because Lars ain't all that good

:2 cents: . . .

Led Zeppelin popped into my head as well . . .

As noted the British bands.
