Beatles were better than the Who

but not as good as the Stones or The Kinks

I was about to say that the Kinks were better than both

but then I finished reading and found you'd already said it for me.

if i were you

i'd go to youtube and listen to

the kinks: "waterloo sunset", and "sunny afternoon" and "all day and all night", which i'd guess you'll have heard over a lot of your life

the who: "my generation", "the kids are alright" and "pictures of lily". you'd know the first and maybe the others. (and "boris the spider", of course.)

it doesn't matter whether you've heard of the bands or not. *everyone* should go to youtube and listen to these songs.

and the album "help!" by the beatles which i've recently become convinced was their best.

i'd also like to court controversy by calling the rolling stones' "exile on main st" deeply over-rated.

I have heard of all of these people

I just don't get into having strong feelings about any of them, it gets in the way. I just listen to a song and I like it or not

(Mrs Trellis GIN, Wed 23 Sep 2009, 13:46, archived)

It has to do with religion

The Beatles were bigger than Jesus. The Who were bigger than Mohammed, the Kinks bigger than Buddah, and the Stones bigger than Guru Nanak. It's only natural that people would then swap their focus from these discredited old idols and venerate new ones.

Ah I see

And who was bigger than Roseanne Barr?

(Mrs Trellis GIN, Wed 23 Sep 2009, 13:53, archived)

John Goodman

but not by much

NOBODY IS BIGGER THAN ROSEANNE BARR

I'll burn your embassy if you disagree.

Oprah might be bigger than Roseanne Barr. It's hard to say because they've not started making scales out of reinforced steel yet.

You think that despite your username?

(

Joe Scaramanga with a G-double-O-D vibration, Wed 23 Sep 2009, 13:28, archived)

surprisingly, yes

the who had some superb songs in the 60s but i've always felt that they were erratically brilliant. the kinks seemed able to keep a more consustent quality while they evolved

into the SUPERKINKS

it's not just about wearing your knickers outside your trousers

that's just tame. these are SUPERKINKS.

I don't think it's a controversial statement at all

I think many would agree nowadays

A mate of mine once asked asked me how good the Beatles were. I shrugged and he said "Because they could afford to chuck away 'Old Brown Shoe' as a B-side

Joe Scaramanga with a G-double-O-D vibration, Wed 23 Sep 2009, 13:22, archived)

he had the best solo album without a doubt

Though I'm partial to Wing over America and Walls and Bridges so what do I know

Lennon's Rock n Roll album

is one of my faves

(

Joe Scaramanga with a G-double-O-D vibration, Wed 23 Sep 2009, 13:30, archived)

Could have been improved if he hadn't felt the need to distort his voice

Actually that's true of all his solo work

(

i would have to say....

the best of the beatles

him and the rest of them: over-rated

(

new_matt, Wed 23 Sep 2009, 13:35, archived)

I partly concur.

I think Lennon and McCartney were hugely over-rated, despite being a big fan of Lennon solo, but I think that George was, and still is, woefully under-rated.
