Like the Beatles, they had two excellent songwriters who worked well as a team. I would not really classify the Beatles as a rock 'n roll band, otherwise I would put them at number 1. It was quite sad how both Paul McCartney and John Lennon became so kitsch after the Beatles split up. But together they produced some wonderful music (with a little help from George Martin).
