FINAL SCORE (1) Beatles-52 (9) Sm. Pumpkins-28

[Soul]

Ktulu is good too. I was actually just listening to the S&M set in the car today, which is my favorite Metallica compilation (except theres no Orion). I don't think of them as particularly artistic or anything, but they're a good band when you just wanna rock, and aren't whiny like AC/DC, imo.

 

I always thought of And Justice for All as fantastically artistic----probably the most artistic of any thrash Metal ever, unless you start counting some of the underground stuff (which really isn't heard by many outside of very select circles of die hards).

[treebird]

hmmmm one of my fav bands vs. my most hated band

Hmm the only song I've listened to on that album is "One". Maybe I'll check it out

I voted Smashing Pumpkins because I love Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, the song, the album and (especially) the video to Tonight, Tonight.

 

I like most of the later Beatles work, but I could never give Mellon Collie up.

Favorite music video of all time.

Just HAD to post this after I came across it looking for the Helter Skelter video...live version of them playing "Revolution" in 1968....listen to those amplifers...if they could talk they'd be screaming "MY GOD!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!" Those amps back then really couldn't handle that level of distortion. This live version is so much better than the White Album version.

I tend to like the Beatles' less pop-iconized hits better.

 

"Helter Skelter" is much better than "Hello, Goodbye" or "She Loves You" imo.

"Hello, Goodbye" is the stupidest Beatles song ever.

 

Well, there is a great problem in that so many people who don't listen to them only know the iconicized Beatles as the moptops from the Ed Sullivan show singing "She Loves You" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and stuff like that. They don't realize that the boys grew up from pioneering modern pop music and went into pioneering acid rock with "tomorrow never knows" and "I am the walrus", and then helped pioneer thrash/heavy metal with songs like "helter skelter", "happiness is a warm gun", "...me and my monkey", and "revolution".

Me & My Monkey is one of my favorite songs of all time.

 

But my favorite Beatles song is And Your Bird Can Sing.

Then you MUST listen to this. It's an outtake of a voice overdub with John and Paul of "and your bird can sing", who apparently came into the studio COMPLETELY HIGH and out of control. It's a great gem, it's on the anthology, so not sure if you've heard it. But they are definitely high as kites.

The song Blackened is on there, and that's another good tune.

[Derwood]

musically, ...And Justice For All is great, but it's one of the worst produced albums ever. Everything sounds compressed and you can't hear the bass at all. It's one album I would love to hear completely remixed from the original tapes.
