All the Beatles (British version) albums except Let It Be got 5
starts. That is 11 albums which have 5 stars.
http://allmusic.com/artist/the-beatles-p3644/discography

Bob Dylan has 9 five star albums... two lesser
Rolling Stones have 9 five star albums too

No one else came close...(Led Zeppelin have 6 five star albums)

So in rock, Beatles have no competition, but what about Jazz?

Miles Davis has 18 five star albums.... much greater than Beatles
score of 11 albums... WOW
Charles Mingus has 11 five star albums and equalled the Beatles
John Coltrane has 8 five star albums

Even a completely unlistenable band, Yes, has *a* so-called 5-star album
on this fan-rated, schlock site, moron.

... and how many albums did the Beatles actually make (not including
compilations)? So how exactly are they supposed to be compared to
Miles Davis? Perhaps if you score them as 11/12 or approx. 92%. Now,
how many albums did Miles make? Were 92% of them given 5 stars? That
would be a more valid comparison than merely counting.

Not that any of this proves anything, of course.

No kidding. Poor Raja, he thinks comparing the Rolling Stones and Bob
Dylan, who are still active and have been for well over four decades, with
the Beatles whose recording career lasted, what, seven or so years, is a
fair comparison.

Percent would be fairer, as would albums per year.

The Beatles still have more 5 star albums. So what's your point?

No one asked them to break up.

Too bad for the Beatles, Miles Davis never broke up. ;-)

The Beatles only made about 12 albums, so how are they supposed
to compete with Davis's 18, or however many albums he made?
