Just thought i'd pop into this thread just to see if the myopic Beatles fans are willing to give the Stones credit for anything at all.

The answer is still no I see.

Because I mention them on every thread, for no reason.

Mature and logical.

So I listen to MM too much and that makes me unable to truly appreciate the Beatles.

I wonder who MM finds themselves more influenced by.

Yeah I think it is stupid how someone can say the Stones did nothing, even compared to the Beatles.

I think Isaac said Built to Spill and Pixies were their biggest influences. But I might be wrong.

I give them credit.

But I'm not above realising that people who think they are truly better than The Beatles are being unrealistic.

I give credit to ROLLING STONES-they have made some phenomenal tracks, but they just have'nt affected modern music (for better or worse) than The Beatles. I think BOTH bands are overated. they just happened to fit into the zeitgeist of the time. Popular music was in it's infancy as a commercial commodity and both bands done extremely well out of this period. The main problem is ROLLING STONES are still going and are contributing nothing to modern music any more, and are not pushing any boundaries. The Beatles had the good grace to call it a day about 30 + years ago. HOWEVER Sgt.Peppers is not a great album. Technically brilliant, but I can't listen to it for too long.

GIMMIE SHELTER is one of the finest songs ever commited to vinyl and arguably, better than most Beatles tracks, but there just was'nt enough good tracks.

I disagree STRONGLY. It's my favorite album. Period.

It's your fave album-great I'm glad you like it-it's still highly overated. just the same as Pink Floyds DARK SIDE OF THE MOON-possibly Floyd's worse album.

Something tells me you're not being serious.
