Where?


Anyway answering the OP.

So on point one. In what way was Keith Richards a cool guitarist? McCartney was a great bassist and could play lead, and so could Harrison and Lennon. I don't think Keith Richards looks cool either.

Big Lips is the greatest frontman? Well I suppose he could pout, beyond that I think he was just trying to make up for the lack of the group in other areas. For The Beatles Lennon was humorous and charismatic and McCartney had charm.

Jane Asher was nice though and she went out with McCartney.

The Beatles did songs about all the topics you say they didn't.

I'm struggling to see The Beatles faces on the cover of The White Album.

Wings were great in the 70s weren't they? They may have even outsold The Rolling Stones in that period. They certainly had far more memorable and famous songs.

The Beatles stopped touring as it was too much hassle at that stage as they were so famous and they were able to explore the possibilities in the studio. The Rolling Stones never quite reached that level of worldwide adoration or studio experimentation. The Beatles could play very well live of course.

Charlie Watts would probably never have been offered something like that because he was not as famous as Ringo Starr.

Yeh, you would choose The Frog Chorus song, catchy isn't it?

The early Rolling Stones ALSO wore matching clothing, so the point is invalid. The Beatles of course changed their image a great deal through that decade as well.

You have to remember that the Stones put out way more material than the Beatles ever did. So there's bound to be some disappointments somewhere along the line.

Sounds like somebody doesn't have "cool-dar."

Mick was just as charismatic as a show man as any one in R&B or Pop music.

The Beatles most noted songs were about fantasy - trippy in your mind fantasy. The Stones most noted songs were about reality - in your face reality.

You sound like Ethan Suplee in Mall Rats.

nope, the Stones had better songs.

Really the Stones were ahead of the game comparing some firsts to the Beatles. The Stones were the first band to have a sitar recorded on an album and the first band to write all the tracks on an album.

The Beatles, no doubt deserve all the accolades thrown at them, they were actually quite apt at taking cues from artist and bands.

The Beatles were the guy next-door, and the Stones were the bad boys of Rock. The were the best dressed in Rock (until Jagger donned the white jump suite which almost every frontman did in the 70s) but still Keith is the -est guitar player.

You guys think Octopus's Garden is great? Well at least no one has said anything about Yellow Sub. Still think you guys are crazy.

So if the Beatles did release a flawless album, what was it in you guys opinions?

Scarlett O'Hara

I freaking love it. I'd watch them performing dead. By the way I'm reading Keith Richards autobiography - it's sexy. Fucking drug loving sex pot that I want to marry.
