Nuke was being retarded again 10Bears, like the cactus post, just to see how quick someone would catch on.

It's a really great gag, but just lasts seconds...:(

Don't understand what you're saying. 10bears said he wondered why I liked "Imagine" when I didn't list it or say I liked it.......so I pointed it out to him, end story.

Plus "Imagine" is not a Beatle song btw

sure the beatles had more influence but it the end the only thing that matters with making a band is marketing...why do you think the beach boys ended up relativley big when they wern't even playing there own songs9


Don't mean to get in a pissing match, but this is a completely ignorant statement.

First, marketing didn't make the Beatles great, the Beatles and George Martin made the Beatles great and that's what stands the test of time......the product, not the marketing.

And the Beach Boys wrote their own songs. Ever hear of Brian Wilson?

Here are some Beatle songs that I consider masterful:

Hey Jude, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, A Day in The Life, Yesterday, Strawberry Fields, Norwegian Wood, Elanor Rigby, Across The Universe, Tomorrow Never Knows, I Am The Walrus, Hello Goodbye, I'm So Tired, Get Back, Come Together, Let It Be, Here Comes The Sun, Revolution, Back In The USSR, Drive MyCar, Ticket To Ride, Help!, Day Tripper, In My Life, We Can Work It Out, Taxman, She Said She Said, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, Something, Penny Lane,

Marketing didn't make those songs.  You really can't compare the Beatle's songwriting or talent with anyone else, because nobody else can compare.

Don't forget about the King...Elvis has to be before Zeppelin, after all he had a number 1 in Britian just last year!

Leonard Nimoy singing "If I Had a Hammer" beats it hands down!

BTW, there is no doubt the Beatles had talent. I like a lot of their music, but my favorites are the ones before they started weirding out, doing acid and following Indian gurus. As a guitar player, I can definitely appreciate the talent involved in their songwriting. The later lyrics are somewhat questionable however. I am the walrus coo coo cachoo?

However, best band ever? Who can compare? Strict matter of opinion there. Popularity doesn't prove this.

Pink Floyd had talent...

Queen had talent if you really listen to the complexity of what's going on in the entire arrangement.

Mark Knopfler of the Dire Straits is one of the best guitarists in the world (usually not really noticed unless you're a guitar player).

Hell, even the Eagles have an immense amount of talent. And talk about harmonizing vocals...

bands of the 60's and 70's will never be surpassed with what is considered musical "talent" today...

you honestly think anything that is in the top 10 today will be played consistantly on the radio in 30 to 40 years?

I certainly do. Of course, I didn't go willingly, but my teenage children have pretty much forced me to appreciate some of the new music. Once one gets past the "style" issues, it is possible to appreciate the talent.
