Yeah I'll go with Queen. The Beatles aren't all that great.
Best artist ever would be Dan Swanö (the man, not the "band"). I don't know which the best band ever would be.
For me it's... well my name kinda gives it away.
not trying to batter eminem (one of my guilty pleasures was listening to him a while ago) or you but can you honestly argue his musical talent against proper bands?Quote:

I can't even imagine how anyone can consider the Beatles (who are great) and Queen (who are decent) as being even near the same level of quality, but it all seems to be personal taste anyway.
Radiohead might prove to be the best band ever at some point in the future, but they're still active so they're full body of work is incomplete, as well as their influence just beginning. I can say that after seeing them live it is very hard to imagine any band actually being better, both at writing songs and at performing them.
I don't get the whole beatles thing. I have tried but I just don't think of rock when I hear songs about submarines. Led Zepplin are easily far more talented.

The Beatles
Metallica
ABBA
Hands down its Rage Against the Machine, Soundgarden or Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Probably Oasis, I dont like alot of bands so it wasnt such a hard decision.
Talent wise? I honestly don't know, I'd have to be proficient at playing a variety of instruments to even be able to begin to think about a band's ability as a whole. As for who sounds the best to the most people, that's a simple as who's sold the most albums (Michael Jackson's Thriller sold the most worldwide). Influentially Elvis, The Clash, and Nirvana deserve mention because they essentially created or atleast popularized the genres I enjoy the most.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
The best band ever is Dream Theater.I kid you not. They are the best band ever.
