since irrelevance is key in these rankings....

10 reasons why the beatles ARE better than the rolling stones

1 - john lennon is super cool

2 - so is paul & george

3 - who is prettier now? http://www.usounds.com/wp/wp-content...thrichards.jpg

4 - the beatles stopped performing because they didnt need to advertise their albums (the initial reason for touring) any further and wanted to spend more time making studio albums that were revolutionary at the time .... the stones still try performing live, only to let down audiences who paid $200/ticket

5 -
beatles 1967 (drugs huh?)

rolling stones 1967 (what were you saying about faces on album covers?)

6 - the beatles wrote less songs about rejection, sorrow, and all that bull**** because people actually liked them... so instead they wrote songs about love

7 - the beatles were able to release amazing music of MANY genres, while the stones rarely deviated from the same path

8 - the beatles actually know what a metaphor is.... and how to use them

9 - you an *******! (you asked for someone to insult you... thought i could lend a helping hand)

10 - what kind of tool would say he snorted his fathers ashes (to sound cool) and then have to admit he was lying (to regain popularity)....super cool!

ps i also like the stones.... just hope i helped further STUs point that none of your comments even made realistic points of arguement about which band is "better"

Ten Reasons Why the Smiths Were Better than Both the Rolling Stones and the Beatles.

1. Johnny Marr is actually the coolest guitar on the planet and he's played with The The and Modest Mouse.

2. Morrissey, the actual greatest frontman of all time.

3. Morrissey didn't need some slut on his arms to look cool or prove his manliness.

4. Did either of these pussy 60s bands ever sing a song like Handsome Devil? I think not.

5. The Smiths created that whole image of random people that weren't even them and slapping the name/album name on it later used by Belle & Sebastian. The Rolling Stones best album was some silly collage and the Beatles best album looked like some lame hippie gay orgy.

6. The Smiths never released a bad album and had the most timely break up ever. Neither band can lay claim to this.

7. Even dudes wanted to rip off Morrissey's shirt AND he played with flowers in his back pocket and still seemed so masculine. The Rolling Stones are like one giant wrinkle and the Beatles didn't even like touring.

8. Mike Joyce is a cooler name than Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts.

9. 9. Paul McCartney - The Frog Chorus, Mick Jagger - She`s The Boss, Morrissey - Seasick, Yet Still Docked. What's this? Two really awful songs and one beautiful one? What's this? Morrissey's released SEVERAL good solo albums?

10. Appearance wise...well

&

Vs

Yeah I think I know who I'd rather go see even if Marr isn't wearing his super badass shades.

this thread demonstrates that appreciation of the Beatles is something that comes with maturity, musical maturity at least... If you still have a one-dimensional viewpoint about a band like that you just don't know alot - it's like dismissing the Smiths as 'depressing music for suicide cases'!

Fair enough if you have an aesthetic bone to pick - they're too twee or whatever (by no means were they always that either) - just read some books and listen to some albums before you make an idiot out of yourself

The Beatles are actually one of my favorite bands.

What.

Listening to pop =/= musical maturity

Comus · 03-19-2008, 05:53 PM

Original post pretty much sums it up perfectly in a nutshell.

re crowquill^ I don't want to get into a puerile argument here but that's really thin. Why even compare them?
The Beatles and Stones had an influence that directly resulted in movements and groups in rock music, that themselves are responsible for the existence of just about everybody, let alone the Smiths. I love the Smiths but...what? Oh and Marr was a massive Beatles fan, just like any other brilliant guitarist in history

My post wasn't that serious.
