How is it that you're on a board dedicated to discussing music and you act like you've never had a debate before?

I already explained my reasons regarding influence, its not JUST influence, its also consistancy and quantity, and impact.

I mentioned all the bands that we had that were better in several diffrent arguments. Quit lying Boo boo, you've lost. You can't refute, i've stayed on topic. Why don't you go listen to some more scale runs (<~~~Thats an attempt to start a flame war)

So, what bands are better than who is factual now and not just your opinion?

A little hypocritcal methinks.

I personaly dont think any of those bands are really better than The Beatles, but you dont see me trying to convice you that you are wrong by going on in excruciating detail about everything that makes a band better, because thats pretty f*cking pointless.

Almost like what this arguement has been reduced to because you keep responding to my statements like i just killed your dog or something.

And most of the music i listen to isnt what you would call "technical" music, so i dont even know what kind of person you think i am.

Trying to persuade someone to your point of view and trying to force it upon them as fact are two different things. You can have a debate without deciding which view is "right" and which view is "wrong." In fact, when talking about something as subjective as music, most arguments don't have a clear winner.

Sure, because you spent the whole time insulting our intelligence for disagreeing with you, and immediately shooting down anything anyone said using flawed logic.

I really don't see how britian wins on that one band alone, because it has seemed to be the only one you continually mention over and over and if it was America Vs. The Beatles, then i'm sure you'd be singing a different tune.

Nah, the purpose of forums is mostly trying to convince other people they are wrong and getting into arguements, almost everybody embodys that attitude weither they know it or not, i only post on these forums due to having way too much free time on my hands.

Well I guess some people are better at not being assholes about it.

I could compare many different bands, The Beach Boys vs The Stones, Velvet Underground vs The Who, The Grateful Dead vs Led Zeppelin, The Doors vs Pink Floyd, CCR vs Black Sabbath, Frank Zappa vs David Bowie, Nirvana vs The Clash, Jefferson Airplane vs The Kinks, Santana vs Cream, Talking Heads vs The Sex Pistols, REM vs The Smiths, Lynyrd Skynyrd vs The Police, Pearl Jam vs The Cure, Alice Cooper vs Elton John, Guns N Roses vs Radiohead and Aerosmith vs Queen and it would all still end with the UK winning.

Im not saying this proves anything, but it isnt any less valid than what any of you have been saying, such as some good metal bands make the USA better than a country that has spawned what is argubly the most important band of the 20th century.
