Final 4 - 1-Phish v 1-The Beatles

[DoW]

I haven't partaken in this tiurney to this point so I won't start now.
it would have been interesting to see the views if it was gd vs. the beatles.  we know the big dead heads here but we also know there are way too many confused phish fans here too  :wink:

[Hicks]

Doesn't everyone start off with The Beatles and Weird Al (who got screwed by not being included) when they are kids?

Raffi>Michael Jackson>Def Leppard>Zeppelin>Floyd>GD...............

No Beatles.

I knew there was something wrong with you.   :wink:

  If Phish beat out Miles i sure as hell hope they would beat out the Beatles. I personally just don't like them. Sure they may have started the whole  psychedelic thing, i guess, But i think the Mothers were way more psychedelic at the time,  and if your going on Influence then fucking Sabbath should win  :-D, IMO way more influential then the Beatles.

Nothing you said computes at all.

no other band has gotten more of my time, attention and money.  I never take breaks from listening to them and I never get bored with them.

Sgt. Pepper was most definitely instrumental in forwarding the idea that an album can be more than a collection of songs.

right - RJ seems to think he refuted that point because there are better albums before Pepper... but I already made the point there there are, perhaps, better examples of music before and after Beethoven and before and after the Beatles, but they are the cornerstones. Sgt. Pepper stands alone as a cornerstone that made the Album a singular work of art for generations. It's not even the Beatles' best album. I'd argue that Revolver came before it and is almost as cohesive... but again, it's the cornerstone. It's the one that made the difference.

Cornerstone of your building but not everyones.

I haven't voted.

Mostly cos I'm annoyed at the discussion.

The thing with the Beatles, is that everything was an event. Every single release was huge. Did you hear the new Beatles song? And then, the B sides were better than everyone else's A sides
There would be debates over which was better, the A or B side - starting with A Hard Day's Night/I should have known better.
We Can Work it Out  / Day Tripper
Paperback Writer / Rain
Hey Jude / Revolution
the list goes on

Every album was huge
When Sgt Pepper came out, the world stopped. Everywhere, everyday, people were talking about it.
Never saw that before, never saw it again -
that is, until the White album came out. Not quite the same fervor as Sgt Pepper, but almost.

John was right. They were bigger than Jesus. That's the real reason all the bible thumpers got pissed - they were bigger

I know.....But Sabbath Kicked way more ass. Master of Reality is IMO one of the greatest albums of all time,
