Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:13am

definitely have known several people who didn't like the beatles.
def known several x more people who didn't like the 'stones.
then again many people "don't like" things because they're not open to liking them.
- and yet others say they don't like something because they're so insecure that they're afraid they'll be considered part of "the masses" if they like the beatles...or the 'stones...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:14am
coelacanth∅:

(but i do think some people i've known genuinely disliked the beatles. mostly "jazz" guys)
  1:15am
johnzo:

Not everybody does like the Beatles oddly... I believe Anthony Fontano “The internet’s busiest music nerd” of the Needle Drop did a “stinkpiece” video on people who say “the Beatles are for men
  1:17am
johnzo:

I like the stones a lot but I do not condone marrying 15 year olds haha... just to make that clear. But the music is great. I heard a great mashup of the altamont tape on fmu called @why are we fighting” by flex unger. That shizz is my jam

It's inevitable, at some point someone's going to have a go at every sacred cow. I've seen stuff online claiming the Beatles suck, most overrated band in history, etc. I react like Judge Smails in Caddyshack when Dangerfield tells him his country club sucks, and he answers "S-S-S-SUUUCKS?!?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20am
coelacanth∅:

oh yeah that mashup's rad!
i like the 'stones a lot...most of what they did up until the absurdly overrated exile on main st. then that album and goats head soup are good but not great. after that it gets very patchy.

"BUY Bushwood?!? Youuuu..."
  1:22am
johnzo:

I mean I think technically they’re the best band... in the sense that they have the most good songs. I care more about songwriting than musicianship tho... not that they’re not phenomenal musicians just not technically the best. But 3 amazing songwriters in one group? Can’t beat that... & no offense To Ringo Octopus’s Garden is a very fun song.
Avatar 1:22am

I have a friend who hates the Beatles, every song (she says), but loves the Kinks. I just don't bring up the subject
  1:23am
johnzo:

There’s no way to objectively say tho & I grew up on the Beatles so I’m biased. But I don’t listen to them that much anymore... go in phases I guess.
  1:23am
johnzo:

The kinks are great too...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:24am
mariano:

Oh no, you don't like Exile? Maybe it's my age, but it always seemed to me that Tattoo You was the last true Stones album. But by that point I'd quit keeping up with the newer stuff.

Thanks Tom - I actually found the album on YouTube from the info you gave me: www.youtube.com...
  1:24am
johnzo:

I mean I put the Beatles up near the top but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of bands very nearly as good
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:25am
coelacanth∅:

mariano i have that "beatles are extremely overrated" conversation fairly often. a few times/year i'll say.
i cannot be objective because that was my introduction to rock & roll at the age of 4-5 and our family sat around and sang along with the whole album on weekends.
i do know they were extraordinary though.
  1:26am
johnzo:

Exile’s a good one tho I haven’t listened to it in a while... at this point technically my favorite band is “whatever they’re playing on WFMU” cause I’ve virtually stopped DJing for myself haha... maybe that’s bad? Idk.

I'm like you @johnzo: a lifelong Beatles devotee, but I don't listen to them that much. Once a year or every couple of years I listen to a good bit of the discography, it's a special occasion. @coela: very much the same for me, I discovered an older cousin's Beatles albums when I was 9, and it was my first musical awakening. It honestly doesn't bother me anymore if someone slags them off though, no skin off my hump.
  1:30am
rw:

I guess it's possible young people who grew up on non-rock based music wouldn't like The Beatles. Maybe oldsters too who grew up on Glen Miller. And coel, possibly super-nerd jazzers. Maybe I take it back... Naw, I stand by my earlier statement.

  1:35am

Maybe she associates the Beatles with a pretentious ex boyfriend or something

It can’t be that she hates fun... if she likes the kinks. It’s a conundrum.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:36am
mariano:

@rw: I've got some friends who are serious jazz musicians, and I've been shocked by some of their listening choices. A lot of it sounds like smooth jazz or new age to my unrefined ears, so maybe they don't have much room to talk, lol. @johnzo: yeah, the Beatles are good for rough times. Thing that gets me is that whenever I give them a listen, there's very often some nuance I hadn't noticed before.
  1:37am
johnzo:

I think the vast majority of Beatles haters probably haven’t heard much or are merely contrarians by nature.
  1:38am

True Mariano... & now they have YouTube videos where they isolate various tracks from different songs, some of which are not audible at all on the records

coelacanth∅:

i didn't say i don't like exile!
just very VERY highly hyped when i think it was a turn toward stale for the band.
the first record is mostly great. the 2nd one? eh. too much piano. too much overproduction and melodrama. that gospelly crap is crap. sorry! then they drag out that Robert Johnson song and don't even do anything with it. happy is good, not great. "sweet black angel" -patronizing, anyone?
etc.
it's like they had this amazing musician in the band who had so much to do with their best album,sticky fingers, and the 2's egos were like "oh no we don't need him we got this" but they'd already begun to dry up by then. they should've let Mick Taylor move in to a songwriting/arrangement role. (instead of ripping him off and not giving him songwriting credits)

mariano, my son has music arguments (discussions) with a buddy of his who sounds like your jazz friends. I think they're listening to subtle shit that doesn't matter and doesn't make for interesting music. Purity of tone, for example over more important things. Not that purity of tone is irrelevant, just that... well, you know; they're missing the big picture.

bands that she figured the beatles stole from.

Scraps (@1.47) i never heard that Emerick hated Martin...though it'd be somewhat understandable.
by most (all?) accounts by the band and others Emerick, once he came on board, was the one who came up with the solutions most of the time. John never knew technical stuff, but he knew what he wanted; so he'd say things like "i want to sound like i'm under water" or "...on a windy mountain" and Geoff would figure out how to get the sound. Geoff's the one who close-miced the strings on elenor rigby. Martin never would've done that because classical music was his main interest and his main job at emi, and close-micing strings would be like bowing an electric guitar.

but Martin got all the credit.

Lots of walking for me these days, due to a transit strike (and having tickets to a bunch of shows, most far from where I live)

coel, but who gets more credit, the one knows he wants a sound and can describe it, or the one who takes that comment and turns into a sound? Both, right; but for me, the wants-a-sound guy gets more.

also, that's why john/paul/george gets more of the credit than Martin

exactly. they're the ones who had the ideas. maybe Ringo too. he certainly had input -evn in other's songs, occasionally; though he knew to be very subtle about how to suggest it!

there's a picture on the stickywebs of John propped upside-down on a chair, singing into a microphone on the floor. apparently that was one of his ideas to get a certain sound for tomorrow never knows.
it wasn't satisfactory so he described what he wanted to Geoff and that's when his voice was run through a lesley speaker -which is how we got the sound we all know in that song.

One thing I didn't know till fairly recently is that it's Paul who plays the guitar solo on Tomorrow Never Knows. He also made the tape loops.

i hafta go lie down as usual -- cheers, everybody. great show, Tom

yeah Paul was playing with tape a bit. there's a sound collage he did that some act like is kind of a holy grail but paul wont release it, most likely because it sucks!
but it's cool he was doing that.
...both he and George played lead guitar on tnk so they're both in the mix
Paul did play lead on taxman though. George's song but apparently he wasn't happy with anything he was coming up with and handed it to Paul!
- but then on old brown shoe (one of my faves) George plays all guitars AND bass -and listen to that bass!

i remember photostadt from that very brief moment in history that wpix-fm was good, 1979.

Yeah, that bass run during "When I grow up I'll be a singer..." is amazing. That's right, forgot Paul plays on Taxman. There's some other unreleased song as well, something along the lines of You Know My Name.

Thanks Tom! Maybe try an obscure one next time. With the listeners here, that might still resonate
