Irrespective of whether you like the music of The Beatles, no other band has changed the face of popular culture like they did.

Their body of work stand head and shoulders above any other act of the 20th century.

You did a pretty good job. Then again, you had 6 years to think of the answer.

Otherwise Thriller or The Bodyguard soundtrack or Billy Joels Greatest Hits would define good taste.

IMHO:
- Metallica has killed their legacy with the last several pieces of radio-rock shit they've released. Generally being a bunch of annoying wankers doesn't help their rep either; neither did the anti-P2P campaign.
-Rush and Skynard are both completely unlistenable bands, to me personally. Queen rocked harder, and were less queer.
-Hendrix... maybe it's an age thing... but for all his "influential"-ness, I can't name one song.
-AC/DC.. Sabbath... not bad, but not in my CD collection either.

:2 cents:

Isn't "rock" supposed to be rebellious / revolutionary ? What do you do at a Rush concert ?

I've been to a lot of concerts, and for the most part they were just musical experiences; entertaining enough, but that's all. OTOH, if you were at one Marilyn Mansons shows at the start of the tour supporting AntiChrist Superstar... you got the impression a war was brewing. (it's a shame he changed direction for the hollywood coke rockstar bs)

I voted for GWAR half-jokingly.. the GWAR world is it's own universe and they're more of a comic-book than a real band. Still, they're good musicians who write fun/obscene songs and there's noone I'd rather go see live. Their crowds are the most violent, and their stage shows the sickest. No other band will shower you in blood piss and semen then feed you to a giant vaginal worm. No other band will raise Jerry Garcia from the dead just to kill him again. No other band will have sex on stage with dead children. No other band has a 20ft crack-addicted dinosaur. :winkwink:
