Many bands were pretty good to be placed as runner-up to the Beatles.
Two that stick to my head the most are The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys (even though they're a U.S. band).
The Rolling Stones had a different style than the Beatles and were pretty close behind. They were also close friends of the Beatles and they both even helped each other write/play songs.
The Beach Boys are also a good band, but you may wonder why. Well in the mid-sixties it was a contest between the Beatles and the Beach Boys on who can top each other off. When the Beach Boys released ''Pet Sounds'' everyone went wild for that album. That album inspired Paul to make the masterpiece ''Sgt. Pepper's''.
Since "Sgt. Pepper's" it was clear that the Beatles were #1 and kept being on that spot for quite some time. Although I do have to admit that "Yellow Submarine" was a flop (both movie and album). The Beatles won their status back with another masterpiece in '69 (Abbey Road). That one sad day in April of 1970 was a shocker to everyone all around the world when the Beatles broke up. However their music still lives on and they will forever be #1.

MaxineAs of 1995 it was The Beatles, now the some newer band like the Jonas brothers may have taken over, but I doubt it. The generally accepted answer is the Fab Four!

Are beatles insects?
Beatles (with an "A") is the name of the very (probably most) successful rock band. They were named after the insects - the members were fans of the Crickets and Stu Sutcliffe suggested Beetles and John Lennon changed the spelling to fit in with the "beat" music image.
Who is Fall of Envy?
An unsigned, but very successful and talented rock band out of Central Florida. The band is comprised of accomplished musicians. Check them out on MySpace and make your own decision. By the way, I am in no way in connection with the band. My former band is Diminished Faith. Just so you don't think this is some kind of troll.
Is the band paper tongues a christian band?
Some say they are, some say they are not. Most of their songs have a Christian element, so they are what I like to call "HMCB" (or, Hidden Meaning Christian Band)
