I don't know where I said the Fab Four were just a fad.

I like The Beatles as much as the next guy, probably more than most people here. It depends some can talk up The Beatles and it doesn't bother me even if it's that The Bealtes better than anything else in the Universe. I don't mind people praising The Beatles as long as they don't throw the bands & artists I like under the bus to prove their pov.

When I said The Beatles = Infatuation, it was really from something someone else said about The Beatles, - paraphrasing again - that their songs was about that walking on clouds kind of feeling that first love brings. They had songs like I Want To Hold Your Hand and I've Just Seen a Face etc. I went in and out of phases with The Beatles and The Who but I've always been a Rolling Stones fan.

I mean, is it really necessary to state than one band is better than the other and the other sucks?
Talkin about the Beatles and the Stones is like debating if Mozart is better then Beethoven or Picasso is worst than van Gogh.
makes no sense at all, imho, and no answer will be the definitive one, 'cause both artists are at the top of their categories and, most important things, tastes are subjective.

If you want to draw an analogy I think The Beatles would be Picasso and The Rolling Stones would be van Gogh.

So parted bands, like the Zepp or hundreds more, should be not as good as other bands just because the lattest are still makin music?
In other words: Stones should be better than the Beatles just because they still exist?

Using this key of interpretations all musicians alive are better than the dead ones ..... :

You will forgive me but I disagree, just a little

You're right Fabbi. I just was kidding because Doom and Gloom (the video i posted) will be on «Grrr!» the next Rolling Stones album.

I don't think that ''one band is better and the other sucks'' is what are we talking about here. Nobody said that one of the bands sucked. And isn't that the purpouse of all forums, to discuss and debate about stuff. Of course there can never be a definitive answer but there can never be a definitive answer to anything in the universe. It's all about points of view. And that's definitely not the point here and in all forums, the point is to share opinions and different points of view, and to improve our knowledgement.

Well I do agree almost on every thing. Except that if you read all the 50' s and more pages of posts here, you often read statements about how great is one band (and no reason is given) and how not cool is the other (also no motivation) that nothing has to share with knowledgment. And knowledgment should be based on objective things Imho. That's all

Listen to the opening 10 seconds of the Beatles anthology 3 version of the "end" and tell me that's not some of the heaviest proto-metal riffing to date. When I first heard it on was on my iPad shuffle, I wasnt looking at the screen and I honestly thought it was buckethead.
