American magazine published a ranking with the 30 best groups of the musical style according to the opinion of its staff; FAB FOUR was in second place
The magazine website Forbes – Publication specializing in economics, but with art editorial and entertainment – released a list of the 30 best rock bands according to his team. The article is curated by the journalist Quentin Thane Singer and highlights groups of different eras, disregarding solo artists.
Some criteria were considered by the vehicle. First: the focus resided in “Main subgenres of rock, be it classic rock, blues-rock, hard-rock, head metal, alternative rock or punk”. In addition, it was sought to contemplate “Rock groups whose musical work has remained timeless over the years and is still predominantly relevant within the modern music industry”.
In this sense, the first place went with the LED ZEPPELIN. The quartet led by Jimmy Page even surpassed the Beatleswhich occupy the second position. By highlighting the choice (via Igor Miranda website), the magazine stated:
“Throughout its discography, Led Zeppelin has been able to improve a sound and cultivate an audience that has since defined the entire rock as we know it today. Known as epicos as ‘Stairway to Heaven’, ‘In the quarter’ and ‘Kashmir’as well as hits and direct hymns like ‘Immigrant Song’ and ‘Good Times Bad Times’Zeppelin’s prestige with his musicality and composition was what definitely differentiated them from other rock artists from his era. ”
The Beatles part is not clear why Liverpool’s group was below English successors. The comment only highlights the merits of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starreven characterizing them as a band that “changed the music industry alone”.
“As pioneers not only of ancient rock, but also from the rock recording and production process, it is no surprise that the Beatles are still so respected to this day. With multiplastinated albums like Please please (1963), Abbey Road (1969), Revolver (1966) and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), the Beatles helped lead rock and many of its famous subgenres, such as pop-rock and even psychedelic rock. To simplify, the Beatles have changed music forever and its legacy and worldwide worship are far from decreasing. ”
