I always felt I was born ten years too late, musically, to see some of my favourite acts in their prime.
Don't hold back Sara :rol:

Actually I always favoured the Stones, along with Bowie my two favourite artists 8-)

:) No disagreement with Bowie and the Stones.

Unfortunately, the undue reverence given to the the Beatles just makes me want to attack them at every opportunity. The Monkees were a better band, seriously!

Beatles over the Stones by a mile for me...no contest. If I go to hell the five piece will have Clapton on guitar and Jagger on vocals

I've always enjoyed Beatles songs but done by someone else, I think it's McCartney's voice I don't like. Actually don't like him very much.

So Ges doesn't like McCartney's voice & you struggle with Jagger's vocal chords

I can assure you all I've heard 100's of worse voices

Clapton on guitar and Billy Joel on vocals for me.

As for the Beatles, I can't get past the teenybop stuff like, I wanna hold your ha-a-a-aaaand. Excruciating. Coupled with a horrible thin sound and a general lack of competence on their instruments. They probably wrote about five good songs in their career. Their chord structures only appeared innovative because they didn't know what they were doing. The first and worst example of being famous for being famous. The films... I have no words. Their legacy is introducing mass market commercialism into popular music. They produced nothing of merit individually or collectively outside a brief period of overhyped success. Need I go on?
