HOnestly, I like the Beatles, but they aren't as awesome as many people say they are. They're still a damn good and influential band, but they aren't gods. *puts up flame shield* I prefer Led Zep, Linkin Park, Metallica, Crush 40 (Sonic fan here), Black Sabbath, and Pink Floyd to them.

Metallica is the BEST BAND ever. (Opinion of course)

[moot]

I prefer Linkin Park, ... Crush 40 ... to them.

dear lord

You wanna be jelly? My mom has the entire discography, from the albums to the lives on vinyl. And I'm not talking about re-releases, I'm talking about release period proper 40 year old vinyls.

are they on capitol or parlophone? if capitol, no i'm not jealous. my white album is an original UK mono pressing, sgt peppers and revolver are 70s aus represses though and yellow submarine is the new reissue

as much as i like Linkin Park, they shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the beatles

To be fair, the old L:inkin park stuff was good, if a bit melodramatic and self-pitying. XD At least those bands aren't THAT bad. Compared to what most people listen to from my generation (basically, songs that say the n word more than every slave owner in the 1800s did COMBINED and songs that say the same **** OVER AND OVER AND OVER)! Besides, I prefer those bands to the beatles because I prefer more guitar-heavy and headbang-inducing stuff.

I would only really say that about the albums between Meteora and Living Things. (Seriously, A Thousand Suns might be one of the worst albums I've ever heard).

i wouldn't say linkin park fit in here lol

i didn't find my musical feet until i was older than you but if you're willing to look you'll be amazed at some of the quality of some things you find (certainly better than linkin park)

hey now meteora was a great album imo. haven' really kept up with Linkin Park since though

I said between Meteora and Living things, that span doesn't include Meteora. Perosnally, it's one of my favorite albums. I can't decide whether I like this or Hybrid Theory more. Both are really, REALLY good albums. But personally, my favorite album is a tie between Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd and Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath. Also, I forgot to mention that I freaking LOVE Queen.

[Cifala]

God forbid someone have an opinion.

yeah, one that shuts down an entire band's discography with some throwaway bullshit about how it sucks because people like it sure is an opinion to respect

Capitol's unfortunately.

I like Meteora and Hybrid Theory. My like of Linkin Park is mostly sentimental reasons, though. Everything after Meteora has been pretty terrible.

I thought Minutes to Midnight was meh, a Thousand Suns was awful, and Living Things was good, but not as good as i wanted it to be. I feel that its becoming too much like electronica and losing that edge that I felt they had with their first two albums.

People still get mad at people who don't think the Beatles ard the greatest boy band of all time? People write pop music about "love" and drugs today? It's considered garbage. Pop music about "love" and drugs from the 70s? Brilliant art don't question it! Pop musician abuses his significant other today? Make jokes at the victim's expense. Mention that a certain pop musician from the 70s beat his wife? How dare you slander the name of one of the best musicians to ever live!

Come on. Surely you can do better than that?

Lennon was a wife-beater though.

Also I hear only a very limited number of people call the Beatles a "boy band," but it's still technically an apt description.

[moot]

the beatles are so great because they pushed the boundaries of pop music to its limit and they (almost entirely by themselves) were a revolution in the music industry. i am not their biggest fan or anything but god damn if you can't appreciate what they did for music you are probably dull. the only other bands i can compare to them are king crimson and pink floyd

Capitol's unfortunately.

does she have a butcher cover Yesterday and Today? that would make me jealous

I'm on vacation at my boyfriend's house and posting from my phone. Quality posts aren't really on my priority list. Too busy enjoying other things

[Phoopes]

I think my favorite band is CCR, I don't think I could say that for certain though. As far as newer bands go I'm pretty into The Killers, The Strokes, and Vampire Weekend. Linkin Park is okay, they have some good songs but nothing spectacular IMO. The Beatles are definitely a wonderful band with some great music. Not quite my favorite but I could listen to em all day

King Crimson were great, but the transformative effect seemed, at least early on, a bit more restricted. The Beatles, though, definitely did a lot, and so did Pink Floyd. Listening to their early albums... Few others even after did that ****. Certainly not as well.

(And her rich.)

For some reason, I think there was some re-issue that re-used that cover. It might not have been an official one, though.

[moot]

all things steven wilson, jakob, king crimson, anathema, trifonic, opeth, this will destroy you

mm mm

doubt it would've been official. there are loads of bootlegs of it obviously
