Who was the real Beatles genious

[vegas1369]

Who cares what an average dumbass can name?

Does anyone care about a Pink Floyd album that isn't Dark Side or the Wall, or maybe Wish You Were Here? I like that stuff, but there's another 10 albums of either post Roger Waters crap or early records consisting of Syd Barrett jerking off. There's a few high points, but overall, nothing special.

Ummagumma- Amazing!

Meddle- Amazing!

Animals- Amazing!

I doubt the average 40yo on the street could name 5 Pink Floyd songs. Them same people would probably recognise 20+ beatles songs

The Beatles are the greatest, and begat Floyd who are also one of the all time best.

It may be anecdotal, but I'm not sure I know a 40 year old may who can't name 5 Floyd songs.

The real question is how many of them have tripped on mushrooms and watched The Wizard of Oz synced with Dark Side of the Moon.

I stand corrected then. If you guys are popping those records in, good on you.

Better question, who was better. The Beetles or u2?

Better at what?

Both are great bands, but overall it's really not even close. The Beatles were the most innovative, important band in the history of rock-n-roll.

U2 was and is a great band, but it really ends there. IMHO though, as far as studio recordings they stopped being great after The Unforgettable Fire.

better at making music and sounding good

These guys were pretty good too. Could have been GOD if they stayed together.

I'll take the Kinks if we are picking English bands from the 60's. Their pop stuff was great, their theme records are compelling and the band has a edge that the Beatles just didn't have.

A fuckin men

this allows me to play one of my favs that is sooooooooo looked over.

i Listened to one of the Beetles albums the other day and enjoyed it. I was able to dance along to many of their songs, and found them to be quite catchy.

I'll forgive the insult because The Kinks are GOD.

Despite his musical nous, the story about Lennon putting out a cigarette on a MATISSE at the Playboy Mansion has always bothered me deeply.

How has this not been posted yet?

Gilmour Waters & Lennon McCartney.

The same sum is greater than the parts magic. This discussion always spawns an endless list songwriter/musicians who seem to always part ways wishing each other was dead.

Eagles Frey & Henley were another.

Always happens when the artists were young FWW.

Floyd v Beatles. It's art & love them both.

[tony bagadonuts]

The Kinks in general, and Dave Davies specifically, are criminally underrated.

I'd love to know who wrote this first song because it's inevitable even if you work
together in a grocery store.

Legit not a huge fan of those.

Meddle is my shit, and Live at Pompeii is the only thing I would take on a one way trip to Mars.

Meddle is probably my most played PF album.
