i don't know about the forum. I just subscribe to the podcast because john hodgman's list of 700 hobo names earned my respect.

Some baseball team should have a Beatles night like the Sox had Disco Demolition Night. Bring all your CDs, casettes, vinyl, t-shirts and Beatles gear and fucking BURN IT all.

I find that sentiment odd, when so many of the bands you like were obviously heavily influenced by the Beatles.

If Screwy were alive in 1965, he would have HATED the Beatles and been all over The Kingston Trio.

MiketheangrydrunkenCUfan · Tue Jun 28, 2011 5:04 pm

No single character trait screams "desperate for attention" more than hating the Beatles.

Screw_Michigan · Post by **Screw_Michigan** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 5:05 pm

Nothing screams "I'm simple minded" like believing the Beatles are still the best thing since sliced bread.

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 5:08 pm

What's funny is that Screwey doesn't realize how badly he's KHOA here.

Pardon me Dins for not being still erect over all the Beatles albums being remastered and re-released for the umptheemth time again.

The Beatles changed music forever. Nothing that came after them until this very day would've been the same, nothing. No British invasion, do the math.

nobody said they were the best thing since sliced bread.

you are overreacting.

just say "I don't think the Beatles are as good as everyone thingk they are" and your point will be addressed.

Mainly because the Beatles came before sliced bread.

War Wagon · Post by **War Wagon** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 1:03 am

The sliced bread analogy is inappropriate. People knew how to slice bread.

Nobody knew how to make music like The Beatles.

A better analogy might be the printing press or the incandescent light bulb, that's how revolutionary they were.

They were the gospels of rock n' roll. I love my Zep, Floyd, and Who but realize that without The Beatles, they might've never fucking happened. Might've? No, they wouldn't have.

Anybody who disses them is a flat out ignorant cumstain who should never open their dicksucker about music in civilized society again.

Screw_Michigan · Post by **Screw_Michigan** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 1:13 am

Fine. I'm just tired of the Beatles.

You barely even hear them anymore except on some Oldies radio station and even then damned seldom. You would really have to go out of your way to be "tired" of them.

say what? you mean the band that played covers for the beginning of their career? you mean the band that made Sgt Peppers only after trying to outdo Pet Sounds?

Bizzarofelice · Post by **Bizzarofelice** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 1:55 am

and you can expand beyond the beatles.

in fact.

lennon's plastic ono band and george harrison's all things must pass. both of those albums aren't as played out and are fucking genius.

Mention the Beatles to old ma Phibes (blues snob) and out comes the rolling pin. The total saturation they achieved must have been depressing.
A lot of good acts got blown away in that, consensus seems to be 60-63 as this kind of dead zone, that's crap. No real super-groups, just a lot of variety coming from every direction when you get past all the Bobby Vee's.

Which they did do. In spades.

Great songwriting
Excellent singing and playing
Interesting personalities / vibe
Right place at the right time

Thanks, George (not RR) Martin, for the sound.

Screw_Michigan · Post by **Screw_Michigan** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 12:55 pm

I'm fucking tired of the Stones, too.

Goober McTuber · Post by **Goober McTuber** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 1:11 pm

You're just fucking tired. Period.

Screw_Michigan · Post by **Screw_Michigan** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 2:20 pm

I'm not tired of Wolf Parade. Old timer.

Mikey · Post by **Mikey** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 2:32 pm

Never heard of Wolf Parade, but I'm already tired of them.

What "sense" would lead your "feelings" to believe that Beatlemania was in any way phony?

It was very real, as my elder sister who saw them live in 1964 would surely attest.

Double Fantasy wasn't even in Lennon's top five.

And just for argument, here's my top 5 Lennon solo albums.

1, Plastic Ono Band
2. Imagine
3. Rock and Roll
4. Walls and Bridges
5. Mind Games

Screw_Michigan · Post by **Screw_Michigan** » Fri Jul 01, 2011 1:10 am

Mind Games was a great song.

Sorry, I'll have to argue that another time.

I have to return to Todds statement that Beatlemania was phony, which might just be the most ignorant comment ever made in the music forum.

The very last LIVE Beatles performance, on the roof of the Abbey Road studio. No Beatles thread can go forward, backward, or sideways without this.

They don't make the drugs that could make Double Fantasy listenable.
