yes but unfortunately there are no Beatles vs Stones threads.

They're all John vs. Paul, or Paul vs. George, or George vs. John.

.... or Ringo vs. Pete Best (kind of like our Taylor vs. Wood)

Poor meekscarey, still cannot fathom the historical link between the two bands, and talk objectively.

Nor does he object to talking about any other band.

For anyone in the DC area who wants to see some Beatles and Stones togetherness:

Under a new name? I'm unaware of this.

Drake I don't think there was anything in my post that was a personal attack. And yes you were stating an opinion as was I as a counterpoint. It is cool you are fan of their later stuff. I was just trying to point out that I also really like their early stuff, and I don't think most casual Beatles fans only listen to their later catalog. Their early albums still sell tons, and albums like 1 and 1962-66 are huge sellers, with a lot of their early tracks.
So sorry, again, nothing was meant on personal. I was also laying out that on this board there are times it is hard to have objective conversations about The Beatles.
And yes! I agree with you about Magical Mystery Tour being a very underrated album! It was one of Lennon's favorites.

Magical Mystery Tour is a great album, but it's a great album in the way that Frank Sinatra's September of my Years, or Abba's Super Trouper, is a great album. Fantastic songs, brilliant performances, but it doesn't rock at all. Beggars Banquet, on the other hand, is raw, unpolished, not as popular with the general public, and, in the three-song sequence with Street Fighting Man, Prodigal Son and Stray Cat Blues, encapsulates everything that is so special and enduring about rock and roll.

I've Always thought 'Between The Buttons' superior to 'Sgt's Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band', when comparing albums between the 2 bands.

I wish they never tried to best 'Sgt. Peppers' w/ the material that ended up as 'T.S.M.R'. The follow up to BTB-pre-Beggars album could have been another GREAT record in the style of 'All Sold Out' , 'Yesterday's Papers' , 'My Obsession' , Connection' , 'Complicated' , 'Back Street Girl' & the GREAT unreleased 'I Can See It' aka 'Get Yourself Together', they were really getting a rough & solid R'n'R sound.

(I'm not going go to go into the technical aspect of the overall 4 track recordings; I.e. Pre-mixing the tracks, bouncing & overdubs.) The overall songwritng & GROOVE they achieved w/ 'Buttons' was a huge step fwd! Wish we could have had one more to follow this, ala 8 track before 'Beggars' & skipped the whole Beatles posing era!

This is one point of view I have had trouble understanding over the years. Between the Buttons has always been an album that I've never enjoyed, despite many efforts to do so. I can understand that it is music that is evocative of the swinging London of 1967, but it all sounds so dated. Whereas Let it Bleed, with tracks like "Gimme Shelter", sounds timeless.

Amanda Bieber totally has a point!

I'm not sure what the point is, but I'm sure there is one!

So Justin Bieber IS a girl???!!!

If Justin Bieber's parents had done the right thing and spanked him when he needed it he might be more of a tolerable human being. I have never seen anybody that deserves to be punched in the face more than he does. He has never heard the word "NO". Thank God my kids are past the age of paying any attention to this waste of flesh.

I read this book. It was OK. You can only compare the two in the 1960's. My fascination has always been comparing John and Georges guitar playing to Brian and Keiths. Kind of hard to do because they were four different guitar players. I will highlight what I think they all did well. I'd say it is a tie just like the book rated them.

John- played triplets better than anyone. All My Lovin for instance. Also played lead guitar on You Can't Do That. John's guitar playing was always underrated but it was the sound of the Beatles. I Want to Hold Your Hand is a perfect example of this. The sound of John's guitar makes the whole song.

George- George always played kind of politely but it fit nicely. His forte was rockabilly guitar. Just listen to Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby and Honey Don't. His best work was lead guitar on And Your Bird Can Sing. Phenominal! Not to many guitar players who can pull that off.

Brian- England's first slide guitarist. He torched I Wanna Be Your Man and got an incredibly authentic blues sound on Little Red Rooster. His slide took a pure blues tune to #1 for the first and only time in history. His Bo Diddley runs on Mona are hypnotic and unique. And this guy used open tunings in the early 60's.
Plus half the riffs are his. The Last Time, Cloud, Helper.

Keith- The worlds best Chuck Berry guitarist. Chuck must have been sick when he first heard Keith play. Carol, Down the Road Apiece, You Can't Catch Me. Keith put bite into his playing. Route 66 was rough and raw. Of course responsible for the other half of riffs. The most famous one in history. Satisfaction. John was the Beatles sound. Keith was the Stones.

Just my take on what these four guys did great on guitar. Of course I left out a lot of good guitar from all four but I hate typing on my Kindle.

I will always love the Beatles, but I will never forgive them for quitting on their fans. I really blame John. They brought much joy to the world until that self serving and self destructive bastard Lennon destroyed it all.

Explain how The Beatles "quit on their fans".

Oh wait.


Nevermind.
