BEATLES OR STONES?
|
BEATLES OR STONES?  Who was better, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? What's you favourite Beatles or Stones song? I think The Beatles are over-rated (a bit like Shakespeare). They did do some good songs like Hey Jude, Paperback Writer and Back in the USSR. But The Rolling Stones bought black music to a much wider audience, even if they didn't give due credit at the time. The Beatles were safe; the Stones made you want to dance - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Honky Tonk Woman and Start Me Up. Where do or did you stand on this great musical debate? |

I'm a little young to remember the early debate/tension? (Cher was on Letterman last night and she gave a lot of credit to the Stones.) I remember when John Lennon got shot. I was about five years old, I think. I remember that I had to listen to the Beetles for several weeks straight around Christmas time!   I know other markets are different. In Phoenix there's a classic rock station that plays a lot of the Beatles, but here in Omaha our classic station plays a lot of the Rolling Stones, but none (or almost none) of the Beatles. Beatles tunes are often covered though.

Beatles get kudos for their creativity and influence. The Stones for their overall durability and Keith Richards' guitarwork. Overall, I would rather listen to the Stones--Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil are 2 of my all-time favorite songs. But I also need to give props to the Kinks! They used the sitar before the Beatles and made a lot of enjoyable and even humorous music.

I have to admit, I do not care for either of them. And I know this will get me a lot of nasty looks, nor do I like Bruce Springsteen.. I am in New Jersey and I know this is sacrilegious, but the man can not sing!!!! (OK,, he is a multi millionaire and I am not ). Mmm theses admissions probably ruin any chance I ever had for being a music critic

Beatles!!...."All You Need Is Love"

Black Sabbath...if I listen to early rock! Deep Purple...Jimi Hendrix...The Doors... Everyone seems to forget that there were other great bands of that era. Smooches!

Yukkk to both !!!! Way before my time, I'm afraid. On the other hand, if our choice included the Bay City Rollers ....

Sorry, I can't really stand either of them but I do like the Stones song 'One Hit To The Body'.

Sympathy for the Devil is another brilliant Stones' song.
| ||
|
And the Stones would give you a Mars bar at the same time ... or was that an urban myth?

It's a false choice but it was one of those questions that abounded at the time. In the UK, we also had Blur or Oasis in the 1990s.

According to Marianne Faithful, it was a crock of shit made up by a cop with a filthy mind... Apparently, it was a pollywaffle and one of the band members was rumoured to be found during a drug raid eating one out of her front passage. She claims that I was too jaded an idea for any of them to have considered doing it.

Now there's a topic... I prefer Blur, Damon Albarn now of the Gorillaz is of nebulous sexual orientation last time I heard and not a pissed-up, knuckle-dragging troglodyte like the Gallagher (monobrow) brothers from Oasis. But my favourite 90s UK band was East17... Go figure I'm still figuring why East 17 were your favourite 1990s UK band - is it their music or the drugs or something else?

It was mostly the music but their stage performances were energetic and captivating... I also liked the way they dressed and I had such a massive crush on Terry Coldwell.

Lol... Maybe there's something wrong with me but I'm not ashamed of any of it... I still play their CDs fairly often. The first time I heard 'It's Alright', I predicted that it would go to top 10 on the 'hit parade' (the Australian Aria charts), I was proven right. That was 1994.
