It's The Beatles.
Upon reflection I realise that this is a pointless post as there is no discussion to be had.
Sorry about that. |  |

The Bee Gees.
In terms of solo artists, David Bowie and Elton John. |

He did indeed. But by 62/63 you could play Cliff alongside Percy Faith quite easily. Elvis was never the same after he went in the army and the Joe Meek stable was producing a less rebellious form of Rock and Roll. |
The early British rock 'n rollers such as Marty Wilde, Vince Eager and Wee Willie Harris played pretty pure stuff. Agree with you about Elvis The first "Sun" album is fantastic. |  | | |

Can't be arsed to dig out the specific MASSIVE hits they wrote, so the whole lot will just have to do.
Gibb's Glasto performance the other year was brilliant. |  |

I surely do.
Never has a band be more overrated.I
Exhibit 1
Obla-di, obla-da |
Strange how you feel Obladi Oblada proves your point as it was just an album track. If was Marmalade that had a hit with it.
You might be interested to learn that the original members hated it. Fortunate to call at least one of the original members a friend, last heard from him last month. |  |

Marty Wilde is in Ipswich in May(saw him last year) but I have not booked it yet because it is the Friday after the League season finishes so I might have a playoff game to go to. |  | | |

and Tommy Steele with Little White Bull?  |
Tommy Steele apparently has a blues band now. | | | |

I used to think the same about The Beatles... but you have to remember they were a boy band only enlightened by drugs and the east to then pen some real quality..
Listen to “A day in the life” and then come back and say they’re overrated
I do think Pink Floyd are a bit over rated |  |

Only time I saw him live was when he led the singing of Abide With Me at the 1972 F.A. Cup Final.
I do have "Focus On Tommy Steele" double LP released in 1977-complete with Little White Bull. | | | |

Anyone who cites Muse as overrated hasn't seen them live. |
Saw them miming, and unhappy about it, at the Radio One thing in Chantry Park seventeen (?) years ago, actual live at the UEA a year later and supporting Foo Fighters at Carling Leeds Festival around a year after that. In their pomp and a heck of a lively crowd (including my son's half mile crowd surf). [Post edited 8 Nov 2018 18:31]

The last ITFC League game that I did not see home or away was the game at Blackburn last game of 2014/15 because we went on holiday that day-bad planning.
I will not risk missing another one if I can avoid it-156 on the bounce at the moment including the playoff games. | | | |

You are a martyr! I have to wonder if I lived in or near Ipswich whether I would go. I think I probably would. | | | |

I felt I was a martyr in Hurst's brief reign but really looking forward to games again now. | | | |

I'd agree on the Beatles
Would it be unfair to throw Oasis in there? At least the Beatles cracked America? |  |

If you put the word "You" before your post and the words "Got Me" after it you have the title of one of the greatest singles ever ever ever. | | | |

Yes, but around 50 years ago. Paul Jones in his pomp.! |
He looks as young as ever.. | |

The Rolling Stones
Not saying they’re not any good, but not sure the continued adulation is deserving given they don’t seem to have offered anything new in 578 years. Maybe you had to be there at the time  |  |

Obla-di, obla-dais a decent pop song, not even released as a single. It doesn't pretend to be anything else.
But it shares the same album as Helter Skelter, Revolution, Dear Prudence, Blackbird, Whilst My Guitar Gently Weeps, Glass Onion, Happiness is a warm Gun, Back in the USSR, to name just a few.
I doubt there is another band in the world who have such a diverse catalogue that was recorded over just seven years.
Imagine a band releasing a basic beat song such as Love Me Do and within 4 years were releasing Strawberry Fields Forever.
They have influenced more bands that came after them than any other band. Whether it be the Chemical Brothers, The Jam or Oasis.
Citing Obla-di, obla-da is like saying Bowie was crap because of the Laughing Gnome or Underground. |
That's just exhibit 1
Exhibit 2
Yellow Submarine | |
