(and I hope you don't think I said that you said that The Beatles sucked !!!!????...lol,,) ...I was just sounding off...I had a bad experience in another music discussion group,,,Amazon to be precise...and the guys on there think they are music geniuses ....if you don't agree with them - look out...you better have a thick skin !!!! One guy thought The Kinks were it...I mean it...the be all to end all of music !!!! I respect everyone's opinion ,,,but that's not an opinion that just plain ludicrous and stupidly silly !!!!
I agree that the Kinks were a great band...very very underrated !!! IMHO...better thabn or the best ..as compared to what ??? I hate those words ' best and better' when talking about music or the arts in general !!!! I prefer the words " my favorite".
I actually think that all he listened to was The Kinks...what a shame....poor soul..missing out on a calvacade of musical adventures like all of us here at MD enjoy !!!! Personally I'd go nuts in no time if I listened to only one group all the time !!!!
Oh by the way, another guy said that the Texan sixties band - Doug Sahm's Sir Douglas Quintet (hit singles ..She's About a Mover and Mendocino...I recall) were better than the Beatles....now that's an interesting twist !!!
Sorry for using you as a sounding board Trace, it's a slow night on MD, so thought I'd rant a bit like we all do from time to time on this fantastic music discussion site !!!!
Not at all SteveO
