According to Rolling Stone, the RIAA has certified One diamond. That makes the Beatles the first to have six diamond albums. (One, the White Album, The Beatles 67-70, the Beatles 62-66, Abbey Road, and Sgt. Pepper's). AFter the Beatles are Led Zeppelin with 5 diamond lps, Garth Brooks with 4, and the Eagles with 3.

Yeah, yeah,YEAH!!!!

Just goes to show how popular they still are...still don't like that white album though!!!

Tell you what...I'll give my virtually unplayed copy of the white album... it's actually a double CD...away to the first person who can come up with the answer to a simple question....and I'll even pay the post and packing..

When Ringo was asked "how did you find America" at a press conference, what was his reply?

Post answers here, I'll tell you who's won and the lucky (?) person can PM me their details.....

:D :D :D

Close enough...."We turned left at Greenland" was the answer I was looking for.....but according to a couple of books I have it was definitely Ringo's quote....

Anyway, PM me your address and I'll send you the CD...

:D :D :D

I think what Musenfreund is trying to say is, "The Beatles" are the best band ever. Hands down, Case closed.
