Let It Be

[Giuseppe Zangara]

The Replacements, obv.

[Guest George's Box]

I've really come to appreciate the Mats' Let It Be recently.

[Sideburnious]

The beatles. I'm being biased due to Billy Preston helping on the album.

[Henry Spencer]

I swear to god this exact thread has been made before. Am I going crazy?

 

I voted The Replacements.

[Guest George's Box]

You know, Coat, I thought the same thing too.

[Gary Floyd]

You know, Coat, I thought the same thing too.

Let it Be vs. Let it Bleed. Not the same exact thread, but still...

[Henry Spencer]

Yeah, that's what it was.

[Your Paragon of Virtue]

Surprised at the results, I voted for the Replacements also.

[Giuseppe Zangara]

Are the Beatles winning because more people here are familiar with them, or that they think that pile of shit album is actually good?

[The Man in Blak]

I'm probably as big a Beatles fan as you'll find on this board and I voted for the Replacements here.

They're doing it to spite you.

I like how "Across The Universe" sounds (shame about the Sanskrit crap for lyrics), but that's my least favorite of the late-period Beatles albums.

Perhaps they resented that I told them the correct answer in the first post.

 

As for the Beatles album, "Two of Us" is good, but the rest is passably slight to overproduced dreck. The worst thing I can say about the Replacements album is "Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out" and "Gary's Got a Boner" are two sides of the same juvenile, if fun, coin.

[Dobbs 3K]

The Beatles' Let It Be is overrated. Just because they're the Beatles, doesn't mean everything they did was god-like. It pisses me off every time I see a picture of John Lennon, with some article written in hushed tones about what a great song writer he was. Enough already.

This is true, and even those songs are great little punk numbers.

I think they resent your arrogance more, but you know that.

There was also a Let it Be vs. Tim thread.

[Giuseppe Zangara]

I don't remember that. I do remember people here debating the merits of Tim vs. Pleased to Meet Me re: best Replacements album, while no one was mentioning Let It Be.

[Gary Floyd]

I'm starting to think that something bad happened to Inc when he listened to that Beatles album.

[Giuseppe Zangara]

Guys, had the Replacements named the album Revolver and I started a poll asking which was better, Revolver by the Beatles or Revolver by the Replacements, I wouldn't fault anyone for voting Beatles, though I myself would still vote for the Replacements. But they didn't name the album that and I did not start a poll about it. They named it Let It Be and it's widely considered a classic by anyone who's well-versed in rock music. The Beatles' Let It Be is generally dismissed as the worst non-Magical Mystery Tour Beatles album. And no, the Beatles at their worst is not better than other bands at their best, so don't trot out that cliched argument.

There is nothing in this thread to indicate this. You're a moron.

Dude, I was joking.

[Henry Spencer]

I wasn't.

[Angle-plex]

I like both. I voted for the Replacements, because the album is obviously the better of the two. I don't think it matters though because this thread wasn't made to discuss this.

[AboveAverage484]

Damn, I accidentally clicked the Beatles! They have a subconscious grip on my brain...

[Cheech Tremendous]

I think the Beatles' Let It Be is okay. I've never heard anything by the Replacements.

 

I decided not to vote.

[Gary Floyd]

I voted for the Replacements.

here you go

 

For Cheech13: Replacements - Let It Be

[PLAGIARISM!]

Tis the best Mats album, fo shiz, but whilst we're on the subject, I don't think Sorry Mom, Forgot to Take out the Trash gets its due generally. It's better than just garage punk.
