The following all racked up huge sales and have been put forward in this thread: Duran Duran The Yardbirds Janet Jackson Suede Bros Uriah Heap A-Ha Marillion The Beatles Post #84 pointed out that this thread's about successful bands, who's music has been underrated in the main.

To people like you with great taste, but you might be surprised by the mass of folk who think they're a just shite 80's band who in their minds churned out naff singles.

The Cure. By their late teens, producing brilliant and original tracks.

Didn't it start with one jokey comment "The Beatles", obviously said ironically? I noticed over the years that music threads often get hijecked by the pro / anti Beatles camps. @HWT, I disapprove of what you say about the Beatles, but I will defend to the death on NSC your right to say it.

Great post. Thanks for remembering Joy Division. The Beatles have to be taken in context of the early 60's (what mainstream music was about then), what they changed then, and then again and again through the decade. People who can't stand them often quote other "far more influential" 60's...

I actually love them. But wasn't prepared to pay £90 per ticket for their O2 gigs a year or two back.

100% agree. I've very diverse musical tastes and the Beatles were a bit before my musical time, but I recognise their innovative genius and sheer talent. I've been playing the Blue Album in my car; so many goose bumps tracks, their beautiful vocals and widely different arrangements.
