Hands down, the Beatles are almost infinately better than the massively overrated Stones. Plus, Mick Jagger scares the crap out of me. Every time I see his face, I swear I'm looking at a corpse Edited by Tim - May 25 2008 at 22:57 |

If I omitted any points it was not deliberate. You've had a "40 year distaste for the Stones" yet Taylor didn't leave until December 1974, excuse me for being confused. You mention alliances with corporate powers, what's your opinion of Macca hooking up with Starbucks? |

I hate some of these statements.
NONE MUSICIANS?
What an elitist statement. Maybe someone lied to me but I always went by the assumption that if you made and composed music, you were a musician. I guess I was wrong, I guess being a musician now only relates to one thing, how skilled you are at your instrument. Heck, does it even matter when its in complete disregard for the music itself?
The Rolling Stones may not be as good as The Beatles, and they may not be incredibly skilled musicians, but they made some very solid albums at the prime of their career, the late 60s to early 70s, I personally don't like anything they've done after that.
The point of musicianship is so obvious that I'm amazed some people don't even know what it is. Its MAKING GOOD MUSIC, sure good music is subjective. But I personally have more respect for The Rolling Stones and AC/DC than I ever will for Yngwie Malmsteen or anyone of the virtuoso sort who envision themselves as less like musicians and more like atheletes.

^ amen brother Boo Boo
and they did far more than make solid albums.. they made some of the greatest albums in all of rock. taking into account a lot of comments here are tongue in cheek... trying to get a rise out of people. But this a prog forum.. so I guess the Stones are bound to come up short again most anyone here |

I just rounded out the figure to the nearest . I guess I should have shown more precise numbers such as 34 years of distaste! Not that Taylor was the greatest ever, in fact , he faded into semi-oblivion after leaving the Stones. As for Mac, I didn't know as I read little gossip but he has become a corporation already , no? As I said before, I have some fondness for the early Stones material but I still feel that they are not what they are made up to be. So I kicked up a storm , good!

We agree! Scene by pool with sharks (Thunderball). Largo (with the eye patch) asks Bond: "What do you think of this rifle?" "It's a woman's rifle " replies the Conn. "Ah, I see you know a lot about rifles!", Reply for the ages: "No I know a lot about women!"

Is it because Moore will always be the ultimate Simon Templar? and his white Volvo?
I mean to choose between " ooooooh! James" and "ooooooh! Simon"
