Never owned a Beatles album.
Can understand there are more people preferring them, though I ain't one of them. Roxy for me.

Pink Floyd? Led Zeppelin? I'd argue they have had more influence on popular music than Roxy.
Anyway, the Beatles win this, clearly. Nothing against Roxy, but there are few bands that can stand head to head with the Beatles and walk away alive.

Im not saying that All Music guide is a bible or anything but their list of bands influenced by is quite good and very accurate and also the list of bands who is supposedly influenced by Roxy Music is this long
the list of bands who have influenced Roxy includes the Beatles which i have never stated differently, the Beatles is humongesly infuentual also, but never doubt the power Roxys music have been to other rock music groopes, the hoe New Wave scene is in some way or another, influenced by Roxy, and New Romanitcs music |

This poll proves yet again that the vast majority of punters can't differentiate between personal taste and artistic quality. You can (and indeed have the absolute right) to love something that is artistically awful. You can loathe something that is artistically marvelous. It's not knowing one from the other that devalues genuine criticism.

Much as I love Roxy Music, they don't belong in the same poll as the Beatles. I suspect that there is hardly a musician alive today who hasn't been influenced in some way by the Beatles. The same cannot be said of Roxy Music.

IMO it's very hard to compare bands from different time periods the only thing I could say is Brian Eno will tell you the Beatles influenced him the disorienting blur of tape loops, backward tapes, ambient passages and bizarre vocal effects that the Beatles did was a major source of influence on him.
The Beatles experimented in just about every way possible — phased vocals ("And Your Bird Can Sing"), dreamlike guitars running in reverse ("I'm Only Sleeping"), the wild abuse of tape loops ("Tomorrow Never Knows") the songwriting was as strong as it had ever been. Its dissonance was modern, and the wake it's left is audible in everything Animal Collective has achieved.
The Beatles were not a mere "pop" band. Only a real simpleton
would make THAT charge. Nor did they compose a lot love songs (some of the not
as a group ). Some of their songs, in fact, were actually quite radical,
sophisticated and even weird (for their time period) both musically and
thematically,.. namely songs like "Tomorrow Never Knows", 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds ( L.S.D. ),
Strawberry Fields, and I Am the Walrus ( as a few examples ).

The Beatles. But the latest Roxy Music (especially the album Avalon) had a class that can't be compared to anything else.

Even though I'm quite fond of the first two Roxy albums: Abbey Road is quite another level indeed.
