It was 50 years ago today that The Beatles landed in America for the first time. Could any other group ever hope to top the talents of these beloved moptops? Well ...Yeah, yeah, yeah! Check out 11 bands that I think took the Fab Four’s pop revolution and made it even better, way beyond compare

What moron put that list together? LOLOL
I take it you’re a Doo Wop fan.
No respect for Spinal Tap?
were it not for the Everly Brothers there never would have been a Beatles
The Monkees!
The Jackson Five!
The Partridge Family!
Lawrence Welk & His Orchestra!
The Cowsills!
Nope, The Blues, Rock-a-Billy, Southern Rock and OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL!
X-Gen or Me-Gen 20-something.
Meh. I can agree to about 2 bands if they reflect back on the Fab-4 as inspiration.
Karen & Richard Carpenter!
“A Star on Earth and Now a Star in Heaven!”
I can’t believe you left “Georgia Satellites” off the list.... :) What a crazy list...
The Velvet Underground
U2
Radiohead
The Band
The Replacements
LOL indeed!
Without reading the article, I’m going to guess that I haven’t heard of at least half of these bands...
Yes, Led Zeppelin really did kill the music. Overrated song ripper-offers.
Bruce Stringbean?
What he really meant was “11 bands I like better than The Beatles?” I have no gripe with that because everybody is entitled to their personal taste, but there’s not one band on that list that has had anywhere close to the influence or impact the Beatles had.
I agree with Led Zeppelin.
What this “YOU” CRAP? I DIDN’T CREATE “The List”!
I almost took the list seriously until I saw Bruce Springsteen. The rest of the list I could see someone being able to make a reasonable argument. BS is on this list is pure BS. Most overrated and horrible performer of all time. I refuse to call him a musician.
While I’ve never been a Beatles fan that list is rather suspect. U2 started off well and got boring fast. Radiohead has never impressed. The Band could be brilliant but when they weren’t brilliant they were terrible and that usually happened on consecutive songs. I love the E Street Band but I just don’t like Bruce. IMHO you’ve got to get The Kinks in there, they did almost every innovation rock had before 1980 first, laying down the basis for metal, punk, theater rock, art rock, not to mention inventing distortion. Any list of defining bands that pushed the boundary that doesn’t start with The Kinks has missed the point.
