    Not true, merely that they are my favourite band, the Beatles are the greatest band ever.

    The Beatles, ah yes the original boy band manufactured for pre pubescent girls.

    Phoney working class heroes singing ****e songs with banal twee lyrics.

    Utter pants.

    Not a patch on The Kinks, the thinking persons band.

    The Kinks were superior musically, lyrically and intellectually.

    The Beatles were false in every way.

    The Police might have been technically better musicians but they wouldn't know a good tune if they heard it. Repeating the same line over and over again does not a good tune make.

    Whatever. They Beatles, Who, Kinks etc. all knew a good tune when they heard one.

    The Police just sang Don't stand so close to me over and over for five minutes.

    If record sales, worldwide fame, popularity, influence does not matter then The Beatles are immaterial when deciding who the "greatest" band ever are.

    The Beatles are way down my list when it comes my listening choice, but the history of music would not be the same without them, it's a simple fact.

    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me
    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me

    Over and over and over and over and over..........    ​
