When I did it, it was Zeppelin, Stones, AC/DC, Beatles. If I do it again tomorrow, it might be different.

So, no, consensus wise it isn’t objective at all.

AC/DC snuck into the team picture. As much as I love AC/DC do you really think they’re better than the Beatles? Very few people would say that.

They probably won’t.

I think it can be argued that AC/DC could be in the top 3.

I love them; but no. Certainly not consensus. From about ‘84-‘95 I was a HUGE Van Halen fan. My “favorite band.” But even then I don’t think I’d have said they were better than the Beatles or Led Zeppelin. And certainly I think that notion is preposterous today.

I know exactly what Google brought up because I did it two minutes before I brought it up. It brings up the name of 4 bands. The Beatles being the 4th. AC/DC is/was awesome, but almost no one thinks they’re bigger than the Beatles.

The Stones were relevant in the 90's?

Side note: I know this isn’t highly scientific research, but I’m a member of a Beatles fan page on Facebook, and it’s easily the busiest Facebook page I’ve ever seen.

Still had enormously successful tours.

Selling out NFL stadiums multiple times each more than 55 years later. I’d say that’s relevant enough.

Refresh my memory, did they have some kind of rebirth, or tour activity following a hiatus?  I do seem to remember something like that.

Were they kicking out new releases back then or just riding the ol' catalog?

Gotcha.  I was getting into heavy music in the 90's so anything the Stones did would have been way off my radar.

That might have been the time when people realized how old they were getting, and could still bring it.  Which is commendable.

Bridges to Babylon and Voodoo Lounge, I believe. Steel Wheels maybe.

I will say that I’ve never enjoyed a concert more than the Stones at Soldier Field in 1999. 30 years after “their prime.”

I saw them on my birthday again at Soldier Field a couple years ago. They’ve slipped a bit (who wouldn’t at 75-80 years old), but still a damn good time.

I was there. The weather sucked, lol.

You must have went a different night, I don’t recall bad weather. They had 2-3 shows that week I think. 2 for sure.

Bassist retired awhile ago, right?  And Watts is hurt.

My gf at the time bought the tickets, paid for the hotel room (think that was around my birthday too), and I got laid. It was a great night. Come to think of it, that was probably ‘98. I
moved out state later in ‘98 partly to get away from her…but the sex was decent.

Had to be ‘98. I was in San Antonio in ‘99.
