I know the stones are on the face harder but I'm a Beatles guy

John Lennon was harder than even Keith and I never don't feel happier hearing his voice

Keith rules but Mick leaves me cold

Huge props for Rocks Off and Happy though

Beatles

the smiths......

Radiohead anyone?

I agree

ACDC

Sharon Lois and bram

The Beatles are overrated, but I'll leave that for another thread.....

anyone up for a little Georgy Girl by The Seekers?

come on, keith. what would a jon brion fan say?

wow why did you join a poker forum just to talk about radiohead?

for this debate, The Beatles


Personally,

Live
Tool
A Perfect Circle
Jimmy Eat World
Tesla (back off)

The Stones. Listened to them on the way to work this am

Throwing Copper is my all time favorite album

I really like that album too. One thing I have always been curious about.

What is.....

Our love is like water
Beaten down and abused for being strange

supposed to mean? That has been an analogy that has bothered me for over 10 years

you earned points withe the smiths line, but i have to take a few away for the throwing copper thing,if it has to be live, it has to be mental jelwery..


also to the above ac/dc fan, do i get the mobile home before or after i buy an ac/dc album?.....

Thanks dna, now i'm going to be obsessing over what that means for the rest of my life.

Ok, iveyfan I think mental jewlery was great too, but I just think Throwing Copper was better. I hope i didn't lose too many points.

you also a cure fan ? depeche mode?

No. Did I just lose or gain points?

Well seeing as how I've seen him do about 60 beatles songs including Tomorrow Never Knows a bunch of times and no stones

its pretty obvious where our tastes lie

I read a lot of English music mags and its pretty amazing how high Morrisey stock has gotten

When I was in college in the 80s i mostly listened to them for Johnny Marr and to be amused by some of the more absure Moz lyrics but in England now it seems that he again is god

love that song of his about wanting your friends to fail

meat is murder not so much

Yeah, when I went to the Radiohead forum and started talking about pot odds and hidden outs, they got confused too.

good response

ok seriously though ... Our love is like water, Beaten down and abused for being strange WTF

please don't tell the radiohead fans that I prefer creep to paranoid android



Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
when I said I'd like to
smash every tooth in your head

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
when I said by rights you should be
bludgeoned in your bed

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
now I know how Joan of Arc felt
as the flames rose to her Roman nose
and her Walkman started to melt

Bigmouth, bigmouth
bigmouth strikes again
and I've got no right to take my place
with the human race

Don't worry about Iveyfan Idaho. 1984 called, they're looking for him.

I have 16 Depeche Mode songs on my Ipod, but noooo, that isn't good enough for 80's boy.

I love Mental Jewelry more everytime I listen to is. I was late catching that train but I'm all aboard now.

I have every Live album and its best not to try and make sense of Ed's lyrics. Why you ask? Because they don't. IMO

Still love em and will pay $100 to see em. (100 b/c 45 for each ticket and charge and b/c I dont know any other Live fans since wifey left and I have to bribe someone to go with me. Boy I have a sad life sometimes)

stones


but playing right now at work:
system of a down
a perfect circle
tool.


but the stones are fun to play.......dont listen to them much

This may be the hardest decission I have had to make all year.

Exile on Main Street or Revolver?

I guess I have to go w/ Stones since their albums are on Rhapsody and the Beatles aren't. BTW, listened to the new Stones album yet? Don't.

Every new stones album is destined to be reviewed as their best since some girls or if the reviewer is particularly off his guord Exile

then in a year they decide that it sucked after all

listened to sweet neo con for curiosity sake didnt like it

its hard to watch Mick be two years behind eminem but then again he is accross the ocean making more babies

Black Sabbath.

Captain Beefheart for the 60s.

The Rolling Stones IMO are the most overrated band in history. The Beatles revolutionized music.....

Didn't realize there were so many APC and Tool fans on the forum.
Maynard is my favorite poet.
What does that damn Live metaphor mean? know I'm thinking about it...

I couldn't agree more. I like the Stones, but they haven't done anything good since 1970. Without even trying, I can think of about 20 bands that I'd put above them on my all time best bands list. Just from the '60s, you have Cream, The Who, the Kinks, Buffalo Springfield, The Jimi Hendrix Experience (with Noel and Mitch), etc.

I'm a huge beatle guy but the bands output since 1970 is infinitely worse than the stones - not one good song

Was that sarcasm, or are you talking about solo stuff? Besides, "Free as a Bird" is a good song. ("Real Love"...not so much)

Sarcasm although I actually preferred Real to Bird but the solo acoustic one from the imagine film the most

Right on.

You are saying that AC DC is for rednecks and white trash/poor people??? Their members are all from Europe and Australia, how does that make them a redneck band??? Also, a lot of their songs are football anthems....for example, Hells Bells is played a TON at just about every football stadium...is football for rednecks??? This is the most ignorant statement ever, AC DC has absolutely no relevance to "mobile homes or rednecks or the South in general, what the hell are you talking about???

The Beatles aren't in the Rolling Stones league...the Rolling Stones are WAY better than the Beatles....at least they have managed to stay together and play music all these years, unlike the Beatles, who broke up for some silly reason......IN TERMS OF STRICTLY THEIR MUSIC (NOT THEIR CULTURAL IMPACT) THE BEATLES WOULDN'T EVEN BE FIT TO BE ON THE STONE'S STAGE CREW. THE STONES ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS (LYRICALLY AND MUSICALLY) OF ALL TIME. THE BEATLES, WHILE LEADING THE WAY, ARE KIND OF LAME...SERIOUSLY, OVERRATED OVERRATED OVERRATED.

2 greatest rock bands of all-time, all personal preferences aside, and there really is no argument. But that being said, I'll go ahead and use this a chance to see what music has been gracing the ipod lately, see if anyone else digs it:

Beck - Mutations
Brian Eno & John Cale - Wrong Way Up
Tom Waits - Closing Time
anything by Sound Tribe Sector 9
Elliott Smith - XO
Television - Marquee Moon
Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Richie Hawtin - Decks, EFX & 909
Slightly Stoopid - Everything You Need

saw eliot smith a bunch of times in LA with Jon Brion

The Mars Volta

I vote push. I can't decide between these two bands, and don't wish to choose between these two bands

The Smith's are responsible for one of my favorite movie scenes of all time - at the end of "24 Hour Party People" when Tony Wilson is talking to God, and he ends with "It's a pity you didn't sign the Smiths."

aw, keith. you disappoint. i love the stones, but it's the beatles, and it's not close.

my favorite stones record is sticky fingers, and (White Album aside) there are more throwaway tracks on s.f. alone than in the entire post-1965 beatles catalog.

Mutations is so underrated. I was pretty obsessed with that album for a while. When I used to play solo gigs (before I sold out to the man) I would cover Cold Brains, Lazy Flies, and Cancelled Check.

As for the rest...yeah, your taste in music doesn't suck.

Love the Mutations albums....well I like all the Beck albums a whole lot. He is one of my favoriet artists. Finally got to see him live with the Flaming Lips a year or two ago, one of the best concerts I have seen. I was really a huge fan of Sea Change as well. Around the Bend is Beck's "How to Disappear Completely". And thanks, I just listen to a lot of different things, my only rule with music is that it has to be good. Unless its from the `80s, then it can suck. Lot of good CDs on that list if there are any you haven't heard.

well, yes and no. I just refuse to vote on this topic becasue I think that in many ways, it is pretty close as all bands today would not sound like they do without either bands

Oh come on, you know you like one more than the other.
