Gary "I (Gary) would like to make it known that I did not write this post, and I vehemently disagree. I could go on all day about what makes them the greatest band of all time (followed closely by The Beach Boys) but I'll summarise it by saying, Isserley is a prick  | |||

I seen Paul McCartney play here 10 years ago and he was incredible! Every song a crowd pleaser, and played a number of Lennon/Harrison Beatles songs also."And one of the nicest men in show business When he played the 3arena years ago he was running late for his sound check and came onto the stage about an hour late Sometimes the staff have to clear the arena during the souncheck but he asked everyone to stop working,to sit down and listen to his soundcheck. So 50 people heard him sing some of his greatest hits and then he says Ive a special treat ...brings out a marching bagpipe band and plays Mull of Kintyre | |||

"I think for a lot of the Beatles' material you had to be there. They did change the way pop music was recorded, moving it from a singles to albums emphasis and they innovated in many ways (though they also had a keen eye for seeing what the Beach Boys, Dylan and others were doing and making it more commercial & popular before others did). However, like e.g. Monty Python did with comedy, some of it was very experimental and doesn't really stand up that well 50 years later. The reality is, though, if there'd been no Beatles, then we'd probably also have no Led Zeppelin, no Stones, no Oasis (not necessarily a bad thing) and many, many other artists would sound entirely different. " Again, I'd like to point out that I did not write this initial post! My crafty gf was just up to her usual tricks. But I cant imagine anyone who thinks they are over rated has actually listened to their discography, other than radio hits, most of which dont actually appear on any albums. How many bands can say they released 12 studio albums of that calibre in 7 short years. Or had songs in all top 5 positions of the charts simultaneously. Even culturally their impact is immeasurable. They popularised music promo videos that werent just videos of the band playing! Although Lennon was a asshole in his younger days, after meeting Yoko in the 60s he became pretty much the only male superstar to use his platform as an activist to speak up about feminism and equal rights for women. The surge of wealth that EMI (at the time also an electronics R&D company) acquired from their sales allowed the funding that directmy resulted in the invention of the CAT scanner. If anything, The Beatles are under rated. You should go listen to Revolver now! | |||
"Haha when I read the title of the thread, before I even clicked on it, The Beatles came into my head. That David Bowie fella is another one " Watched Bowie at Glastonbury last weekend I think his greatest hits would stand up against most other artists | |||
"Haha when I read the title of the thread, before I even clicked on it, The Beatles came into my head. That David Bowie fella is another one Watched Bowie at Glastonbury last weekend I think his greatest hits would stand up against most other artists " Oh without a doubt. Doesn't do a lot for me but clearly he's good at what he does. I just don't get the almost god-like worship of him. And sure while we're at it, Led Zeppelin bore the piss out of me too | |||

"I'll tell you what's worse than Mr's Browns boys on the telly Mr's Brown's Boys live in front of 5000 people They even rehearse the "funny " mistakes and make the same ones in every show " First time I saw it on TV it was hilarious. Then I realised every episode was the same and the joke had worn thin at that point. Went to see the live show thinking it was new material but it was basically an episode from the TV show and it was painful. | |||

"Hotel California and American Pie have to be two of the most over rated songs ever" Sorry, and good morning but I can’t let that go!

Thanks. No, I think it's the only one of the sequel trilogy that took chances with the franchise, as opposed to rehashing the original trilogy. Yes, it's too long and a bit bloated in places, but Rian Johnson at least tried to do something different with it, as oppose to pulling Palpatine out of their ass at the last minute. And I love Luke's last stand. | |||

"Context folks!! They were Pioneers! And yes they were a great band, and certainly don’t deserve to be knocked. They were for sure one of the first bands that could be called all time greats. Before you reply with the knocks please view them live on the rooftop in Liverpool, I think their last live performance. To me this was them at their coolest. Plus , put on Sgt. Peppers album and listen. She’s Leaving Home, A Day in the Life, pure class and totally original. " Love that rooftop gig 
Also the Ferris Beuller Street parade bit.
Personally love John Lennon solo stuff too, some great songs | |||

"U2 I feel are the most over rated " I wonder have you ever listened to No Line on Horizon and call them over rated. Opinions are great but I would presume one has listened to their albums. The best in my opinion are Beetles, Mamas and Papas, Steely Dan (wow), Bowie, and no list can be complete without Radiohead, incredible band. | |||
"U2 I feel are the most over rated " I should have had them on my list. Generic rock by numbers. The only thing they had going for them in the first place was distinctive vocal style.. but that novalty wore off a long time ago. | |||

"I found myself listening to a band called night wish, operatic rock, the new front woman has a distinct and powerful voice.. tho not everyone's taste." Its about the words , Yesterday all my Troubles were so far away , Resonates with people, It’s a hard days night , same , when am 64 , And I only have the Greatest hits on cassette  | |||
"U2 I feel are the most over rated Sacrilege Name another band to reinvent themselves and remain at the top for so long "I'd say Rolling Stones but I don't think they ever changed tack much. There again ACFUCKINDC are one of my all time faves and are still filling stadiums with the pretty much same music. That's what some people think anyway. Go back to the Powerage album and compare it with Rock or Bust. Totally different music. | |||
