The Beatles were huge back in the day and are still very popular today, is there a band today that compares to the level of success they had?

U2 would be the closest.

None, and anyone who says U2, Coldplay or Green Day comes close is just wrong. Neither will come close. When the Beatles hit, it changed the world. The time was right, nothing like that will happen again and have the same level of impact and influence years later as the Beatles did. They changed everything, from the way rock sounds, looks, the commercialization, everything.

no, i wouldnt think so. there will never be another band like the beatles because they were one of the first and best rock and roll bands of their generation. today there are many bands that are famous, but none that rank as high as the beatles. there will never be another band like the beatles. however, if i were to nam e a band off the top of my head that reminds me of the beatles it would be Green Day or maybe U2.

No band since The Beatles has been as popular. I think the main reason is that mainstream music is to convoluted with so many styles that the market has been divided and not many bands have enough appeal to cover several different demographics.

That is hard to say as the Beatles were a force of their own. I would have to say perhaps a band like U2 could be compared - not in the sense of who is better, but in terms of longevity, song-writing, political activism, etc..

The Beatles were very popular even though they really weren't that great of musicians. But I don't think there has ever ben anyone as popular as them. But there is also tons and tons more groups out today, so people have more choices to listen to.

no one can compare with the beatles until they show longevity and relevance. U2 is the only one that i can think of that still draw a crowd and change their stuff around to remain relevant and still popular but still no where near the Beatles
