Will there ever be a band bigger than The Beatles?

I personally don't think it can happen. Sure there may be artists that end up selling more records or downloads. But no band will ever have the influence that The Beatles had and still have. No bad will be able to match their innovation.

They appealed beyond the narrow 'music scene' to a family audience and hence they were a cultural force in many different ways and everyone knew who they were. I remember being taken to the cinema when I was about 10 by my 'ancient' grandmother (she would have been in her late 50s!) to see [i]A Hard Day's Night[/i]. We had to queue to get in. Then there is the longevity of their influence as a group and as individuals. I would suggest, never rivaled.
