ok, this is going to be pretty long, so bear with me. For one, I have to give credit to the Beatles. I've heard so many people say that the beatle's are overrated, that they're songs are simple, no lyrical content, no challenging guitar riffs etc etc etc. These kind of ignorant statements are exactly why I feel compelled to say exactly why the Beatles deserve credit as one of the greatest bands of all time. My reasoning basically comes down to this; they pretty much single handedly changed the course of music forever. First off, look at the music scene before they arrived, you have frank sinatra as the most popular recording artist at the time. Now look at what the beatles did. they alone broke out f the mold, and in my mind were one of the primary creators of modern rock. Every greatband after them had other bands to feed off of, to gain inspiration from, the beatles had no-one. Another common claim is that the Beatles lyrics aren't very meaningful. If this is your belief, you either haven't listened closely enough or to enough songs, or you just don't understand them. I've had a lot of very lengthy, in depth conversations about beatles songs, one of them about how Eleanor Rigby is a metaphor about the declining control and respectibility of the church and the monarchy in england (Eleanor Rigby, initials the same as Elizabeth Regina) or how the real meaning for the song let it be is a dedication to lennon's mother who came to him in a dream of his at one of the darkest time's in his life. The Beatles had some of the most brilliant lyricists and musicians of all time. McCartney is pure genious for being able to play his bass lines and sing at the same time, and Harrison was made a member of the Travelling Wilburys because of his incredible talent.

After the beatles, zeppelin and jimi hendrix need to be recognized, but they generally are acknowledged as musical gods, so I won't need to explain why I'm mentioning them.

As for music today, there are too many to name. I have to name thrice, Teppei Teranishi is absolutely unbelievable, plus they can really write. Other bands with great lyrics, brand new, finch, the list goes on and on.

Auf der Maur. You can convert her music into a classical piece, and that's a good thing.
