Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 Maybe it's just me, but there is no bloody way the Stones are better than the Beach Boys, and Jimi Hendrix is good, nI really like him, but he wouldn;t eb my #2, and I don't particularly care for the Beatles(admittedly, I haven;t been bothered to really explore their music, but what I've heard on the radio doesn't do much for me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiny norman 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 I agree Stones shouldn't be #2, their long career hasn't been consistent enough. I'd put Dylan as #2 (though my actual preference would be Prince, but that's life). And The Beatles stuff they play on the radio is more often than not their weaker stuff. Yes, Love Me Do, Please Please Me etc. are not all too special. But you really should explore their later albums which everybody agrees are far better but the radio stations don't play them because they're not as radio-friendly.

haVoc 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 The Grateful Dead shouldn't exist. Were you ever lucky enough to experience the Grateful Dead coming to your town/city? If you could deal with all the smelly bastards and dirtbags it was a fun two or three day party. Joints and acid were everywhere and people selling $1 beer bottles/cans out of their coolers. People cooking and selling everything cheap and cops didn't give a damn as long as they didn't see anything. Good times. Looked forward to that every spring and summer. Never went to an actual show, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
