To me, the Beatles never made anything as good as Let It Bleed or Sticky Fingers.
The Stones never made anything as good as SGT PEPPERS or ABBEY ROAD.
The Stones and Beatles never made anything as good as LED ZEPPELIN 2 and PHYSICAL GRAFFITI.
Led Zeppelin, The Stones and Beatles never made anything as good as AC/DC/s POWERAGE and BACK IN BLACK.
AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, the Stones and Beatles never made anything as good as DARK SIDE OF THE MOON and THE WALL.
Mandarins are a small orange. Grapefruit doesn't exist in nature. Bananas, avocado, gooseberry and watermelon are related as they are all berries.
If one can't hear how great some of The Beatles' albums are... there's something wrong with them.
Good lord. I don't know where to begin with this...so many ridiculous statements. I'll tell myself it's trolling so that I don't need Advil. I'll just let it stand alone that ACDC has no place on that list of bands, effective as they've been at adding ambience to a bar room for decades.

Just thought of this after seeing the Abbey Road vs. Let it Bleed post....
I've sometimes ranked Here Comes the Sun as my favorite Beatles tune ever (though that changes quite often),
while I almost always rank Gimme Shelter as my favorite Stones tune of all time.
Sort of polar opposites lyric-wise:
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
vs.
Oh... a storm is threat'ning, My very life today
If I don't get some shelter, Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
__________________________________________________
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
vs.
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin' our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet, mad bull lost its way
____________________________________________________
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say, It's all right
vs.
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away, It's just a shot away
_____________________________________________________
Put them together, and we might have the greatest tune ever written in the entire universe!
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes, Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
War, children, it's just a shot away, It's just a shot away
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes, Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
War, children, it's just a shot away, It's just a shot away
Would be nice to hear a mashup of these two tunes...Gimme Sun or Here Comes the Shelter...Beatles and Stones - love 'em both!
As a bonus twist, add Dylan to the mix and we'd have Here Comes the Shelter from the Storm.

That was the entire point.
And... you're wrong about AC/DC.

Cheap Trick (a great band) pretty much owes their whole career to the Beatles. That is not meant as a putdown.
Geoff is amazing. Not surprised. And he's one of the few people in the Beatles camp I'd actually want to hear from.Quote

geoff emerick -- HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE: my life recording the music of the beatles
this is soooooo good; very light, "inside," informative look at the fab four in the recording studio from the self-effacing sound engineer who was there from the beginning.
i'm really enjoying it!

However, some fans have taken exception at the author's digs at George Harrison, who frequently dismisses his guitar skills as "ham-fisted"; according to Geoff, there were several occasions where it appears George just wasn't up to the task of getting guitar parts right during sessions, and that many additional takes of a track would be required as a result. One gets the impression from such remarks that he thought of Harrison as a the weak link in the group; though he improved later on, these accounts show that Harrison was frequently struggling, especially in those early studio sessions.

This Christmas just spending some time looking at and listening to the fantastic re-released Beatles box sets of Sgt Pepper / The White Album and the new Abbey Road, and I am amazed at the care that went into these over the last couple years. The remixed albums sound incredible, the bonus unreleased tracks and alternate takes are truly a bonus, the books that are included are filled with terrific notes and photos that haven't been seen before in many instances.
You have to hand it to the Beatles: you always got your moneys worth. They never skimped on quality, and still don't to this day.
Looking forward to 2002 when the 50th anniversary of Let it Be comes round !
