I am completely apathetic about them to be honest.
While I do not particularly love them, I will not get in someone's face about it unless they try to force their belief on me. Then they get my full...attention.
Just like anything else.
I'm a Muse fan. And off-topic, I just realized I spent five whole minutes entranced by your avatar, Neonbob.
Muahahaha!
Fanboy's collaboration has helped me again!
In a few moments, you will feel a strong desire to go on a car ride.
Do not resist this feeling, as your brain will implode if you do.
Just go with it.

So many whales...

I'll agree that there is no "best" band ever but I do believe that the Beatles are defiantly one of the best!

So is every other band, if you agree with "best" being subjective ;)

Rush, IMO.

But, on topic: I like the Beatles' music. It's hard to not like. It's always enjoyable to listen to, though you can't really "rock out" to it. And, as a drummer, Ringo's drumming just makes me sad.

What about the White Album? There were some pretty bad songs on there. Like Number Nine. I mean, what the hell?

I prefer Metallica myself.

I love the Beatles and everything they did for music. Each member of the band was musically gifted in so many ways and every song has inspiration to it that just isn't seen in other bands. I can't make a top ten. While I like certain songs more than others, I like far too many to be able to create a list of ten songs, let alone arrange them into an order.

And yes, the Beatles Rockband is great. Buy it, you'll never be more satisfied with a music game. Some people claim that the lack of variety of bands in the Beatles Rockband (there is only one, duh!) will cause it to get boring. I find it has the opposite effect. I'd rather play the Beatles Rockband than Rockband 2, even though the later has such a variety in bands.

I agree with the OP completely, maybe other than that list because there are some great songs that aren't in it. I can't fault Yubadias; I don't know if I have the courage to name ten songs I love above the rest.

Best ever. I think. But the Beatles have a timeless quality to them, it's like looking into the past, into something I won't be a part of, but something that is still relevant, something that can twig my emotions and, since I don't know any better terms, it scares me. It's powerful, I don't know how, but the first time I listened to "A Day In The Life" I was a Beatles fan. It just has such a horrible but inspiring(again, that doesn't do it justice, the words just aren't enough) feeling to it.

I know it's crazy, but some music can do that, depends on the person, depends on the time, but the right song has a way of finding you at the right time. And it just hits you like a freight train in the dark, it's just so unsetteling and powerful that you can't help but sit still and stare at nothing and everything all at once. You just, know, somehow, someway, that something is right, in a world of wrongs, that not everything is horrible and depressing, that not everything is heartless and pointless, that you're not totally alone, and it always helps.

It's just that nowadays(kind of ironic I say this because I'm 17), most people place a greater value on, "heavyness and growling vocals" or catchy music with no talent. Music is an art above all to me, and it pains me that my guitar playing can't do it justice, that I'm not very talented at something I really care about, that I'm not everything I want to be. I mean, I can play the guitar, but it doesn't play me, it doesn't come through me like...there really aren't terms for what I'm trying to describe.

It's just something that I can't comprehend, it's like a paradox, but it's not. It's just something more than me. Something so meaningful, that it doesn't mean as much as it should, if that makes any sense at all. My mind simply can't grasp it, like files that have been deleted off a Mac, but, they were never there in this case.

Gah, I feel so puny and miniscule for trying to contemplate something so far beyond me.

How about some Stairway, nobody could deny it now.

Uh... how 'bout... No.
The Beatles innovated on nothing, they used exceedingly simple harmonics, and their lyrics were nonsensical at best (most of the time.)
And what solos they had were boring.

The real best band ever:

REMEMBER: There's a difference between bad and worse than other songs. I don't really like Eleanor Rigby, but it isn't bad. Same goes for Revolution and Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, as well as all the others that don't live on my iPod.
I thought it was wierd that while I'm far from a Beatles fan (don't own any of their albums or anything), Eleanor Rigby is one of my favourite Beatles tracks.

Maybe it's because I haven't heard all the other ones.

Air and Mother Man get me every time!

BREATH!

Cynic is nice, too.

My father never fails to remind me of the obscene number of albums the Beatles have sold and I certainly respect them but they are hardly the best, in my opinion.

I'll nominate Death or Black Sabbath.

Yes the Beatles are great... not much of a revelation there!

However I take issue with your top ten list (although I suppose its subjective...)

Where the hell is I am the Walrus? Or Maxwell's Silver Hammer? or Daytripper?
I love Maxwells Silver Hammer.

Sorry my favorite band is Vision of Disorder, I was never a fan of the Beetles, so I'm not sure how the "best band evarrr" is a title you can spread around.

I would hardly call the Beatles the best band ever. It's all subjective.

I'm not a Beatles fan at all... They just don't excite me at all.

I like Pink Floyd the best.

There are no bad Pink Floyd songs, only degrees to which you need to be on drugs to listen to them.
