You forgot "Dogs" and about two dozen other singles released by the Who during this time frame, some of which didn't even chart.

The only band that ever released ten consecutive great singles is the Beatles, who never released a bad one. Even "The Ballad of John and Yoko", probably their worst A-side, achieves the upper reaches of mediocrity.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think all The Beatles singles were number ones.

You must be from the UK, then. Strawberry Fields was the first one that missed, I think.

Yeah that song is a real clunker, ha-ha. And no I'm not British, I'm American that loves a good pint of ale and The Beatles and Stones.

i know this really isn't the thread to talk about it but imo the beatles were the worst of the 4 major british invasion bands (the who, kinks, stones, beatles). the beatles were only that popular because they were first, good looking, started out by writing pop songs and by 1964 they no longer were dangerous.

they did have the best vocal harmonies of any of those 4 bands and yes later in their career they wrote more complex tunes but nothing they ever wrote was that controversial. they were never banned from playing the states. they never had a lot of songs with a very personal message. "ballad of john and yoko", "hey jude", "don't let me down", "two of us" and maybe "the long and winding road". the main thing the beatles contributed was their advances in the use of recording techniques in the studio.

Much to my regret, your list is a big mess, chronologically, and that's what "in a row" means, doesn't it? The time frame you're mentioning from She's A Rainbow to Sympathy For The Devil (Edit) covers the period of Dec 1967 through Oct 1973, during which time The Stones released not less than 22 singles, including, however, the ones you listed up.

Every Beatles UK single hit #1 except Love Me Do (#17), Please Please Me (#2), Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields (#2), Something/Come Together (#4), and Let It Be (#2).

This is a list of every single released by Led Zeppelin. Whole Lotta Love was the only hit, but not a stinker among them.

"Good Times Bad Times"
"Whole Lotta Love"
"Immigrant Song"
"Black Dog"
"Rock and Roll"
"Over the Hills and Far Away"
"D'yer Mak'er"
"The Ocean"
"Trampled Under Foot"
"Candy Store Rock"
"Fool in the Rain"

Bollocks!

I didn't read the whole thread and typed this

"Get Down and Get With It"
"Coz I Luv You"
"Look Wot You Dun"
"Take Me Bak 'Ome"
"Mama Weer All Crazee Now"
"Gudbuy T'Jane"
"Cum On Feel the Noize"
"Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me"
"My Friend Stan"
"Merry Xmas Everybody"

Six of those were number ones and the next two were great as well.

"Everyday"
"The Bangin' Man"

I don't have a list, but ABBA surely did this too.

t.rex

"Ride a White Swan"
"Hot Love"
"Get It On"
"Jeepster"
"Telegram Sam"
"Metal Guru"
"Children of the Revolution"
"Solid Gold Easy Action"
"20th Century Boy"
"The Groover"

I guess it depends on what your definition of "great" is.

Chuck Berry.

Ultimately, another pointless thread. If you're a fan of someone, everything they do is "great". If you didn't think so, you wouldn't be their fan.

I focussed on one country, the one that they actually sold most singles in, the USA and actual physical single releases. You could argue that SFTD shouldn't be there as it was a UK release in 1973, so in that case substitute Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo instead.
