Für Sie im Überblick: Erfolgreichste Bands aller Zeiten (T-Z) in einer Liste.
Erfolgreichste Bands der Geschichte? Welche Gruppe zählt zu den besten aller Zeiten?
Erfolgreichste Bands der Welt gibt es Tausende. Zumindest subjektiv betrachtet. Denn jeder von uns hat seinen ganz eigenen Musik-Geschmack. So gehört für den einen z.B. U2 zu den beste Musikgruppen und Bands der Welt – und der andere wiederum liebt Take That. Dazwischen liegen Welten, die wir mit dieser feinen Auswahl (des Taschenhirn-Teams) verbinden möchten.
Die blau markierten Alben gehören (laut Rolling Stone Magazin) zu den „TOP 100 Alben aller Zeiten“. Die # gibt die exakte Platzierung bekannt. Steht da also die Zahl #55, so rankt das Album auf dem 55. Platz. Die rötlich markierten Alben & Singles landeten in den deutschen Musik-Charts auf Platz 1.
