On a slight tangent, look up '50p' by Dirty Revolution, I don't think they believe in hype.

I like that but it does remind me a bit of the fear by Lilly Allen

If you can, get a copy of "Living Life Without Loving the Beatles."

You will bloody love it!

Have you heard the early Kings of Leon stuff?

The last two albums were rubbish,main stream mum rock,but before that they were a great band.

Youth and young manhood and aha shake heartbreak are two top class albums,you would think it was two different bands.

Huey Lewis & the News.

And the Beatles.

It would be hilarious if anyone had said it but they didn't. In my case it was a specific reference that IMHO (you get what that means don't you) Jaggers lyrics were massively better than either Lennon or Macca, yet strangely never credited for it by the Beatle fawning British media. That was all, other than that I see no way in which the Beatles interfered with the Stones or vice versa - they both did rather well for themselves.

As far as I'm aware the Stones are considered by most people as a great or at least important band with a great legacy regardless of not dying when required by you. I mean listen to yourself and how ludicrous you sound. They chose to carry on doing what they do best, big wow. I assume we should dismiss Muddy Waters or Bo Diddly and many others for having the audacity to perform whilst old! What utter and cliched nonsense you spout.

As for the Beatles having the good sense to break up, yep did em the world of good. Without Harrisons valiant efforts L&M wouldn't have produced enough decent material to fill an EP after 1970. Especially Lennon who's output was self indulgent crud. They broke up because Lennon in particular was an egomaniac with a manipulative wife, nothing to do with music or legacy and we all know it.

Still you got your wish and I can only assume Chapman is a hero to you for putting a bullet into Lennon and instantly giving him a legacy and making him great in a way he wouldn't have been alive. This is your theory not mine.

I see now your grasp of popular culture is nearly a poor as you grasp of RL.

Joni Mitchell... Musical kryptonite!

If there was a thread for acts that I find it very hard to show any passion for, either love or hate, it would be Huey Lewis & The News.

I hate Huey Lewis & The News but that scene from American Psycho is fantastic.

You can blame Yoko Ono for The Beatles splitting up.

Or thank her.

I give you
Yellow submarine
Obladi oblada
I am the Walrus
Your mother should know
Octopus's garden
Maxwells silver hammer
Revolution #9
That's close enough to being laughing stock for me.

To be fair that is the consequence of writing music whilst doing loads of drugs and letting Paul McCartney have the pen when songs were being written.

I quite like the Walrus song reminds me a bit of Edward Lear and was apparently Lennon taking the mickey out of people trying to interpret his lyrics so was meant to be a bit of a mickey take.

I agree with you 100%.

Cheers.

the thing with her is, she's no better than the likes of Amy MacDonald, Rumer, to name a couple, but she made a few hormonal women cry their eyes out at the Brits in 2011, and she became a megastar. Grammys, Brits, bloody OSCARS! Please. I'm not saying she can't write, but she is bland as beige, and her voice... ugh, nails on blackboard. You can't criticise her either, else you just get told ''you don't like her because she's fat''

Emile Sande is the same, only slightly less annoying.

The low point of the Olympic ceremony for me, what a tuneless durge that was.

You would, the most "pseudo intellectual bull" song ever written with a revisionist attempt to pass it off as a micky take - yeah right

love it pure gold.

so you dont think it was related to being out of their heads on Acid then. Maybe you think the stories of drug use were made up to cover up some naff songs being written.

I quite like the Oasis cover of Walrus

One of my favourite stories, and kind of went to disuade the John the Messiah of Principle Lennon myth is the story of Maxwell's Silver Hammer (which I maintain is the worst song ever, worse than Black Eyed Peas, Rebecca Black or anything by Train).

John Lennon refused to have any input into it. Point blank. He hated it. But he still took a writing credit. A writing credit for something that was all Paul McCartney's doing.

Now, I appreciate they shared writing responsbility. But if you are going to storm out of a studio over something, then you don't take the credit (and money) over it.

Next line of evidence for the Beatle's myth being blown wide open, Let It Be... Naked. Take away all of Phil Spector's hard work, you have what can only be described as a musical disaster.

So by your reckoning they must have been clean when they wrote the better stuff - make your mind up.

The Script

You'll hate them even more afer they've just been on the BBC Breakfast sofa promoting their shoite new song!

Not really much of a hater myself... I always find it weird the pleasure people get from dissing different artists and genres. I have my fav's, some that I like less than others but the passion it seems to drum up in folk always leaves me slightly baffled, as though the artist has tried to offend them by creating music that they don't like
