Elvis or The Beatles?

The Beatles.....i've never heard much from Elvis that i've liked.

Though I will say that they're both a bit overrated...

J-Man725

Prescilla is overrated. Elvis has done some good stuff though.

Honestly, the only reason The Beatles were great was because of Lennon.whos_next000

Let it be.

That is about 33% true...

What about Paul? and Harrison?

McCartney had some good music in The Beatles....your statement is denied.

Discussing music in OT is almost as volatile as discussing religion...possibly moreso :oJ-Man725

Lennon was the most dangerous man in the US during his musical career :lol: You write about war and flowers, that's the stuff rebellions are made of.

I suppose I'm just misinterpretting this somehow...? LJS9502_basic

That was in response to popularity...as for his genre comment....the only think I made in response to the question vis a vis Elvis' talent verse Beatles talent was that neither was necessarily a determining factor. As fore the Beatles...while they were rock...the were still pop.

Whatever....and I'm STILL WAITING for you to show me where I said The Beatles sucked...well?

All McCartney wrote were love songs and Yesterday (which is a very good song) >.> Lennon wrote the deep stuff, imo.whos_next000

So the subject matter bothers you? Initially The Beatles weren't that deep though...so without Paul...John may not have had the chance to develop.

NOTE: To quigly...this does not mean The Beatles suck. K?

I've learned to avoid the religion threads...some people here don't seem to understand there are people with beliefs of their own outside their little bubble....

Not been involved in much musical debates though...

No they wrote TOGETHER...they were known to help each other out on songs (though how much was always disputed :P) and while Lennon is agreed to be the more avant garde of the pair...without McCartney's input...The Beatles would be a very different beast...but then Harrison was always my favourite...

I already said I was being sarcastic. Don't you read?
quiglythegreat

I was being sarcastic in terms of the 'the Beatles suck' thing. You were ripping on them for very unsound reasons.
quiglythegreat

And the difference between "ripping on them" and "sucks" is what? Same meaning really. Next time read your entire post dude.

And you've yet to support EITHER statement....sarcastic or not.

Still, when it comes down to being down right evil...

lord_mordain

I :lol:

d when one of the band members was just reading a newspaper in his own music video. Must've been pretty boring.

It was a misunderstanding... one could easily misconstrue saying that a band is a 'boy band' as saying that they suck, and he was being sarcastic...EboyLOL

Nah...he's like that with every post I make. Finding out you were wrong and calling it sarcasm is a cheap way to wiggle out.

Edit: Though for curiosities sake....why do Beatles fans deny the history of the band? The music IS the music.

Yeah, its from The White Album. Its a shame he got overshadowed by the Lennon/McCartney partnership.....but he wrote some great songs...Taxman for example

It's probably just because I know Quigly, but I can tell just about 100% of the time when he's being sarcastic... this being one of them.EboyLOL

You must have more patience than I do...but lately every thread I see him in...he's trying to argue. I don't mind a discussion...I don't run from them...but that's not what he does.

First song I ever heard from the Beatles was Hey Jude....

I could...nice song don't get me wrong....but overrated....imo of course :P plus I hate how this song's sparse but "economic"arrangement and it's repetition being able to hold attentionare cited as factors of McCartney's "genius"

Really? I can't stand his solo music. Mostly because the only thing my sister listens to is George Harrison, and I've gotten sick of his music.

drugs did a lot of things for the beatles.

Isn't It a Pity, My Sweet Lord, Beware of Darkness, Wah-Wah, What is Life... I enjoy the Beatles, but I think his solo work showcases excellent songwriting.EboyLOL

I never liked any of George Harrison's music TBH.

I don't remember having heard any of those songs.

The album I was talking about is Cloud Nine. It's sooooo boring, but I have to listen to it every time we're in the car :cry:
