Not sure I have ever agreed more with anything i've read on tHoop than the highlited lines.

I don't think I've ever been described as a "hipster" before......

I didnt necessarily mean I agreed with him calling you a hipster as much as I agreed that people who view the Beatles as some pop band like the Backstreet Boys are typically some hipster morons who haven't a clue of what they are talking about.

Wow, life sucks.

When I was a teenager, I meant a man at church - he was an undercover narcotics officer. He stood out so much because he had very long hair, and unkept shaggy beard and his clothes were dirty. Since that time he has been in various positions with the Benton Country (Washington) Sheriff's Department. He mentored teenagers, and a positive force in the community. He and his family lived in my hometown and his wife and kids were always wonderful people.

He was found Saturday under a tree at his home, an apparent suicide. I am still trying to wrap my head around it, his family must be going through much worse. I may be off for a while, if my time come up, text me.

Man, thats depressing. Prayers for his family, what a terrible thing.

I do not think it is hyperbole to say that Hunter Sharp is the second coming of Wes Welker, but like a better version. A Wes Welker that the NFL deserves. He is like Wes Welker's far more athletic better brother. Welker probably has a shrine of Sharp in his closet that he prays at as his own personal deity.

1 great song (Come Together) and a few good songs doesn't make an all time great. They're nothing more than the 60's Backstreet Boys.

All the Backstreet Boys could sing...

Has anyone mentioned how Paul McCartney starred in Murder, She Wrote?

Never liked Helter Skelter - and it has nothing to do with Charles Manson.

Here, my Beatles top 10:

1. Come Together
2. Can't Buy Me Love
3. Back in the U.S.S.R.
4. Hard Day's Night
5. All My Loving
6. I Want to Hold Your Hand
7. Help!
8. Hey, Jude
9. We Can Work It Out
10. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

At least this is the top 10 of the 60 songs of their's that I have on my computer (and the only ones I really like enough to listen to more than just every once in a while).

I don't know if I'd know where to begin?

In no order...

Helter Skelter
Come Together
Blackbird
Norwegian Wood
Get Back
Across The Universe
Eleanor Rigby
Dear Prudence
You've got to Hide Your Love Away
Yesterday
I'm looking Through You
The Fool on the Hill


too many more to mention.

I saw him live a few years ago. One of the better shows I've ever been to. Best 50 bucks I've ever spent.

 

[broncosmitty]

I Want It That Way
As Long As You Love Me
Shape of My Heart

I don't have all day, but their greats are almost endless.

I have the urge to bring up Dylan right now, but I'm obviously trolling, so I'll save it for later.

I like when people judge history with a future's mind.


The Beatles grabbed the world by the balls, before it even knew it had balls. They started out as a 50's bubble gum pop band (that STILL wrote great songs, mind you) and evolved right in front of our eyes, into a deep and talented progressive rock band. What they did will never happen again. There will be plenty of teen sensations, but none that will transcend that age group. Everyone likes the Beatles.


Except for "edgy" new-age, hipsters that think they were just a pop band, instead of the INVENTORS of it.




Sorry. I have a few rules in life. One is never trust someone that dislikes the Beatles. It's weird.

I'm not a huge fan of the Beatles relative to a lot of the other classic rock greats but I still like it. Its hard to really judge the impact of a song like Hey Jude because so many bands were influenced by these songs. The problem the younger generation has with the Beatles is that they seem to have influenced everything so they no longer stand out. It'd be like if the first NBA player to dunk did every dunk there was to do and then walked off. The people seeing it for the first time would totally crap themselves but nowadays everyone dunks. Thats the Beatles legacy as far as I can tell.

Thanks to Netflix, Ive watched a documentary on John Lennon and a CNN Documentary on the 70s directed by Tom Hanks. I'd recommend both for people who want perspective on classic rock and the culture although the music episode certainly left out a lot of great rock bands. They spent an hour talking about music from the 70s and Pink Floyd never even came up.

Hendrix gets screwed by the sands of time more than anyone imo.

My head would've exploded hearing him for the first time.

McCartney told of how their Sgt. Peppers album dropped on Friday, and how Jimi rocked it in its entirety on Saturday nite. He said they (the Beatles) were humbled immensely by that.

My vote would go to Elvis Presley because I get Hendrix. Elvis is something that will look more and more absurd as the years go.

Justin Bieber is undeniable proof that music is dead.
