Oh yeah....

I have been waiting for this day. Not to post a video ( or ask for one to be posted ) but I had a friendly discussion with some elderly gentlemen here who tells me that I am wrong, so I am asking those music lovers here. I say the Eagles have the most sold album ( maybe over everybody actually ) and they say both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones have albums that have outsold them. ?????????????

thank you

I'm not sure there one answer to your question as it seems to depend on how you count records... furthermore in the current era of social media there are lots of artists who make far more money via youtube than from traditional record sales.

13) Rolling Stones 66.5 million
24) Neil Diamond 48.5 million
30) Brother Bob 44.5 million albums sold

According to google:

Beatles 178 million
Garth Brooks 148 million
Elvis Presley 136 million
Led Zeppelin 111.5 million
Eagles 101 million
Billy Joel 82.5 million
Michael Jackson 81 million
Elton John 78 million
Pink Floyd 75 million
AD/DC 72 million

I'm guessing the eagles is the best selling in the USA all time then. ??

I moved from California to Wisconsin in high school. These guys were the most local big band (Rockford, Illinois) at the time and were very popular.

Good Friday afternoon tune from back in the day.
