would you call the greatest in the world if you absolutely had too? Base it on quality of the music, showmanship, and their overall influence. Also say why you chose them:
The Beatles were so incredibly influential. They did almost everything first. They also had a wide variety of music. From the mod days in the beginning to the psychedelic acid rock days later.
Led Zeppelin is probably the best rock band ever. Jimmy Page Pioneered recording the ambient sound of music and not just the up close immediate sound. Thats how the drum sound in When the Levee Breaks was achieved. Jimmy Page is a guitar god! He was and still is so incredibly talented. His solos are incredible, music orgasm. John Paul Jones revolutionized bass playing. He set the standard of bass playing. Everyone else did what he started. Bonzo was an absolutely amazing drummer! Listen to his drum solos i mean come on! And theres Robert Plant, amazing voice, amazing rock persona, amazing hair, amazing in general.
Yeah...I would say Queen, but since it's not on the choices, I'd definitely rate it somewhere between the Beatles and Led Zeppelin.
Gun to my head choice....I would choose The Beatles. <3 They just have such a huge impact on music these days...and in those days. They're perfect....they sold a LOT. And their songs are catchy and super loveable. :D [ ILoveQueen's advice column | Ask ILoveQueen A Question ]

AC/DC created a new sound and led the way for many other bands. Their songs are still popular today.
uisforukelele answered Friday April 6 2007, 9:05 pm: oh my gosh! this is hard. hmm... i would say either jimi hendrix experience or the beatles because they both completely revolutionalized their genres. i mean, you can hear influence from the beatles in pretty much any rock music today, especially in oasis's music. as for jimi hendrix, he was one of the first psychedelic rock guitar shredders. he used guitar effects and noise to his advantage, unlike the people before him. so probably those two bands because they have influenced so many musicians. the rolling stones are pretty good too, but not as much. i think jimi hendrix had the most showmanship, honestly.

looloo12 answered Friday April 6 2007, 8:47 pm: Deffinitely Beatles. They were pretty much the cornerstone of all rock/music. Plus their songs rock. I also love Nirvana but they didn't have as much of an inlfuence as The Beatles. Led Zepplin is also way up there on the list! [ looloo12's advice column | Ask looloo12 A Question ]
sternesindblind answered Friday April 6 2007, 8:36 pm: the beatles definitely. there are still traces of the beatles all around us, musically and from a business standpoint. they've influenced every band in some way and they still make millions even after the breakup of the band.

orphans answered Friday April 6 2007, 8:24 pm: Oh gosh! I LOVE all of these. I would say either Led Zepplin, The Beatles, or AC/DC. The Beatles are a legend. They've so much different styles of music. Led Zepplin has some pretty darn wicked stuff. AC/DC just plain rockssss! Man, sorry I can't help much.. :( But it was a hard question :) [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
