I thought it was time to feature what's arguably the best band of all time, and certainly one of the most influential. You can't not like the Beatles; that's like not liking food. There's so much to choose from you're bound to like some.

Some of my favourites include: Penny Lane, Hey Jude, I Am The Walrus, Let It Be, Come Together, Yesterday, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, A Day In The Life, Sgt Pepper's/A Little Help From My Friends, Norwegian Wood, Help! and A Hard Day's Night.

Actually, I'm fairly certain the Beatles were featured during Vinny & Neko's tenure, but I doubt anyone minds.
No mention of Pete & Stu, though? Ah, well.

There's nothing I can really say about the Beatles that hasn't been said before and better by someone else (except for connections with the Monkees), so I'll leave it to the more well-versed rockers here.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Definitely the greatest band ever. Anyone calling themselves musicians can't possibly dislike The Beatles.

They're not my favorites, but they are definitely the best. I still adore them. -CSM

I think they did, but they also featured Led Zep before I did.

Also, I was in a hurry yesterday and forgot about Best and Sutcliffe.
