What about Billy Joel? I don't know how globally famous he is though. But he's a pretty big deal. But yeah even after I typed that I thought "nah, he's not near the Beatles".
BJ is pretty big, but I'd say, for example, that Springsteen is bigger. In fact, Springsteen may be the closest to the Beatles that I've come up with yet....
U2 and R.E.M. both had their peaks, but are definitely on the way down...
*sharp intake of breath*
REM are NOT on the way down! No! I will not have it!
Me, I love Counting Crows. I don't think they've made a bad record yet, although I know they have neither the commercial success or the longevity of REM/U2 (I hate U2!), Beatles/Stones etc.
I also love the Eagles. I know that's probably not a popular choice but they were still touring up to a few years ago at least, and, again, not a bad record to their name.
Queen, I love.
Bob Dylan. He's released literally dozens of albums. He's fairly hit and miss, yes, but he's still releasing the odd gem (see "It's Not Dark Yet")
in terms of a long, prolific, successful, consistent career, I don't think anyone can hold a candle to The Beatles

I'll think about this for awhile.

I'm stumped, but I'm gonna talk to some people about it because this is pretty interesting!

I don't think so either...
