Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted April 14, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 I love "While Mt Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Something" more than most songs, so it has to be George for me. Â Although simple Math says: Â Rolling Stones > The Beatles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted April 15, 2011 Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2011 Has to be George for me. Comes off as the least cuntish of all of them. Paul McCartney is a fucking prick of the highest order. John seems alright in small doses. Â Rolling Stones > The Beatles This is how I feel in terms of preference. I have a lot more Stones records than Beatles records. Although musically I think the Beatles are superior. The Stones have basically stuck to the same sound their whole career and the Beatles really changed a lot and explored a lot more areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 15, 2011 Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2011 As an entire body of work, I'd take the Stones. But Beatles from Rubber Soul onward were superior in my eyes. If I was pushed into a decision, I'd probably go The Beatles. However, after Micky Dolenz, George Harrison was best. I don't think he wrote a weak song during The Beatles.

SK8_WAR Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Ringo Starr, for the sheer fact he's the voice of Thomas The Tank Engine. Â This. Â He will forever be synonymous with my childhood memories. Â It was never the same when that Michael Angelis guy took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted April 15, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 Don't like the Beatles at all. Can appreciate their place in music history, but really hate this "unassailable" status people so readily accord them, when, to my tastes, they strike me as distinctly average - I just don't see the appeal at all. Being first at something doesn't make you the best. What I hate even more is when people automatically assume that, should you express a distaste for them, you can't possibly have arrived at a considered opinion, and that it's a result of ignorance of music history, because there's no possible way anyone informed could ever consider them less than stellar. Condescending bullshit is what it is. Â martyngnr - what did Lennon do? I've never heard any stories like that about him before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed the least up himself, a relatively easygoing and down-to-earth guy (even with all that trancey spirituality). Lennon I liked because he at least tried to make a difference, but he kind of marred it when he and Ono seemed to be more self-promoting than actually promoting the causes they were supposedly championing. Ringo's inoffensive, and likable because of Thomas the Tank Engine. McCartney's an abject, irritating cunt who can go peg himself with his ex's prosthesis.

GalaxyV.2 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Not a fan, but in terms of solo stuff Lennon was vastly superior to McCartney. 'Working Class Hero' alone is better than anything post Beatles Paul did. Plus I kinda like he was a wanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Seven Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 In full agreement with Carbomb. I didn't post such sentiment because it would be TROLLING if I did so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted April 15, 2011 Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2011 Carbomb/Mr Seven....do you find yourself in agreement with my sentiments on them though? Even if their music does nothing for you I think there is something to be said for the direction they went in during that time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
