JAKARTA - Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Guns N 'Roses, Nirvana, AC/DC, there are so many bands throughout music history competing for the title the most important rock band of all time'. Many of them can provide strong arguments Led Zeppelin pioneered rock stage, Nirvana brought grunge to the mainstream, and Pink Floyd launched prog-rock. Although they have tried their best, there is still one band that almost always beats them in winning titles.

According to drummer Nirvana and Foo Fighters founder Dave Grohl, as written by Elle Palmer of Far Out magazine, The Beatles remains the most important rock band of all time. As one of the biggest names in this genre, Grohl seems more than eligible to make the assessment, and this opinion is not approved by few people. The Beatles also hold the title of highest selling music artist of all time and have influenced every generation of artists who follow them.

Grohl explains his love for The Fab Four in a note accompanying the release of Tomorrow Never Knows compilation on iTunes. He recorded their influence on his musical career, stating, If it weren't for The Beatles, I wouldn't be a musician. That's as simple as it is. From a very young age, I was fascinated by their songs, and for years I was immersed in their catalogs. Their curves and arrogance. Their growth and beauty. Dark and bright."

For Grohl, their art looks unlimited: The Beatles seem capable of doing anything. They know no boundaries, and in that freedom, they seem to define what we now know as 'Rock and Roll', Grohl also introduced his daughter Violet, who was then six years old, to the band through the 1968 film Yellow Submarine.

Like Grohl, he immediately felt the same interest as I felt when I was his age finding The Beatles for the first time, "he explained. He wanted to know their name, what instruments they were playing with, who sang what songs, etc. etc... it made me very happy (and proud!). In a few days, he knew the verse and chorus of every song on the album.

The Foo Fighters vocalist noted his love for the song Hey Bangkil specifically, which he admits as a deep work of art while retaining that it is also a classic Beatles 'rocker.

The rolling "Bass line", the contents of Ringo's drum which became his trademark, the distorted guitar, and the sound that only Lennon's throat could produce. This song stepped on, wrinkled, made my brain nod, made your hips vibrate. When Lennon sang, "If you'rejant you can talk to me! it calms my heart, as you finally found something to believe in. It's very raw and real. It's 100% Rock and Roll that is timeless..." said Grohl

Between the influence of The Beatles on him and his daughter Grohl concluded: From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time. Just ask Violet.

The Beatles' influence goes far beyond the Grohl family and beyond the rock genre their influence can be heard throughout the music after their heyday. Through their broad and never ending influence on music as a whole, as well as their personal influence on Grohl, it is understandable that he named them the most important rock band of all time.
