Mick Jagger's voice is of such a quality that he has been known to be mistaken for a baboon under the simultaneous influence of H1N1, Montezuma's Revenge and Japanese cartoon-induced seizure. 2010-02-12T22:19:02Z 1 1 2010-02-12T22:19:02Z 1969 called and they want their pilfered and poorly executed pseudo blues songs back. 2010-02-12T22:20:17Z 2 1 2010-02-12T22:20:17Z Ringo is a crappy drummer. 2010-02-12T22:27:13Z 3 0 2010-02-12T22:27:13Z Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is, along with Jimi Hendrix's Are You Experienced, the most groundbreaking LP in rock music history. 2010-02-12T22:30:07Z 4 1 2010-02-12T22:30:07Z He didn't want to share his Hawaiian beachfront with the locals. That bastard. 2010-02-12T22:37:10Z 5 0 2010-02-12T22:37:10Z And they're a lot less annoying than Paul McCartney. 2010-02-12T23:08:29Z 6 0 2010-02-12T23:08:29Z He's a million years old, and he still rocks (but only for several million dollars a night). While it would be fun to see him take a dirt nap, at least we won't have to endure the incessant playing of his crappy solo albums on the radio. In Mick's case, it'll be worth it. 2010-02-13T17:17:58Z 7 1 2010-02-13T17:17:58Z Ringo may be a less than stellar drummer, but at least he's got a pulse. And you can ask anyone over 30 on the street "Who's Ringo?" and they'll say "He's the guy from the Beatles". If you asked the same question regarding Charlie Watts, you'd probably get something about a chocolate factory and a light bulb. 2010-02-13T17:20:47Z 8 1 2010-02-13T17:20:47Z Shovels are also good at distributing elephant dung, the musical equivalent of which has been the Stones musical career. 2010-02-13T17:30:14Z 9 1 2010-02-13T17:30:14Z Beatles worshippers, I've got news for you. John, Paul, George and Ringo, they not only hated each other, they hate all of you, too. It's probably one of the many reasons they spent almost their entire career holed up in a studio geeking out. They can't stand the sight of you. Or maybe they knew they were be a terrible live band, and didn't want anyone to find out they weren't musical Gods. But go ahead, keep on worshipping them. They spit on your love. 2010-02-17T20:42:29Z 10 0 2010-02-17T20:42:29Z I hate all this attention. Why won't people just leave us alone? Oh by the way, could you please film every moment of my life? Even if I'm just reading the paper or taking a dump. That would be grand. But please, leave me alone. 2010-02-17T20:47:24Z 11 0 2010-02-17T20:47:24Z They created a stir in the US because of their fucking cute haircuts, okay? Those groundbreaking haircuts, and groundbreaking music like "Please, Please, Me" "Eight Days A Week" and a bunch of other bubble gum pop that was indistinguishable from the rest of the chart-topping hits in that era. If they would have been ugly, like the Stones, would they even had made a dent? I think you know the answer. 2010-02-17T20:52:17Z 12 0 2010-02-17T20:52:17Z It only took 6 anti-Beatles posts before the subject of their music came up. I'm surprised, you did better than I expected! But then you negated that by 1. being wrong, and 2. going on about how pretty the Beatles are. So, all your Beatles venom really amounts to a knee-jerk coping mechanism for your subconscious attraction to John, Paul, George and Ringo? Or is it just Paul? We can tell Paul is your favorite. It's ok. 2010-02-17T21:15:57Z 13 1 2010-02-17T21:15:57Z The Beatles haircuts did create quite a stir, I admit. And you're right, the Stones are ugly. Neither affects the quality of each body of work. Having been a toddler when each of these bands originated, I can tell you that it didn't matter a bit what their haircuts were like, or how generally unwashed Mick and Keith appeared. Still doesn't. 2010-02-17T21:58:40Z 14 1 2010-02-17T21:58:40Z I was just about to comment on the utter lack of "loving the music" I've seen from the Beatles posts. It's typical of Beatles freaks. All they ever talk about is how "groundbreaking" their music was. But you rarely hear "I love that song" or "Man, Paul just kills it on the bass". It's never about the music for Beatles fans, only about the "effect" their music had on other music. But when you refuse to actually play in front of people, that'll happen. I love the Stones' music. If you like blues-based rock 'n roll, it thrills the soul. C'mon, tell me some songs you love, some songs that move you, or kick you in the ass. But stop it with how "important" music has to be. It doesn't. It's music. It just has to be really, really good. 2010-02-17T22:15:05Z 15 0 2010-02-17T22:15:05Z I'll give you this, if you like blues-based rock, the Stones are the band for you. If for no other reason than the efficiency. You can have one Stones album, and you've more or less got them all. And it doesn't matter which one, either - with the exception of their disco work. Then again, you could just buy a blues record. I'll bet when you dabble in rap music you go right for the Vanilla Ice. 2010-02-17T22:23:11Z 16 1 2010-02-17T22:23:11Z I used to hate him, but after he did "My Brave Face" it was all over. I swooned. Or maybe it was after I heard his "High School Prom Dance Classics For Teenage Girls" album. Wait, sorry. That was actually the Beatles' first record. My apologies. 2010-02-17T22:24:47Z 17 0 2010-02-17T22:24:47Z It's surprising to see you rip Vanilla Ice, knowing how much you love a cute haircut. 2010-02-17T22:28:58Z 18 0 2010-02-17T22:28:58Z The "groundbreaking" aspect of the Beatle's has nothing to do with how important or influential their music is/was. The fact that it's groundbreaking speaks to their creativity, a characteristic that is sadly lacking from a certain overpaid blues cover act. Yngwie Malmsteem was groundbreaking and influential, but I'm not writing on a site about him - because his music sucks. 2010-02-17T22:45:26Z 19 1 2010-02-17T23:35:53Z That's a bold move, going after McCartney's solo career. Should I remind you of Jagger's? Between '85 and '93 Jagger released She's The Boss, Primitive Cool, and Wandering Spirit - which almost achieved the same level of artistry as How Could It Be, So Happy, and Love's Alright, ill-advised musical endeavors also perpetrated during that same period - by Eddie Murphy. 2010-02-17T23:14:52Z 20 1 2010-02-17T23:24:15Z Ron Wood. The prosecution rests. 2010-02-17T23:36:58Z 21 1 2010-02-17T23:36:58Z I have to admit, this list can be expanded upon, but here goes: Come Together • A Day in the Life • All You Need Is Love • You've Got to Hide Your Love Away • We Can Work It Out • Day Tripper • Hello, Goodbye • The Fool on the Hill • While My Guitar Gently Weeps • Get Back • Don't Let Me Down • All My Loving • Can't Buy Me Love • Eight Days a Week • I Feel Fine • Ticket to Ride • Yesterday • Help! • Drive My Car • Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) • Nowhere Man • Michelle • In My Life • Girl • Paperback Writer • Eleanor Rigby • Strawberry Fields Forever • Penny Lane • Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band • With a Little Help from My Friends • Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds • Lady Madonna • Hey Jude • Revolution • Back in the U.S.S.R. • Old Brown Shoe • Here Comes the Sun • Something • Let It Be • A Hard Day's Night • And I Love Her • Across the Universe • The Long and Winding Road 2010-02-18T15:19:27Z 22 1 2010-02-18T15:22:19Z I do have a favorite Stones song, too, which is "She Said Yeah" ... because it's the shortest. 2010-02-18T15:20:52Z 23 1 2010-02-18T15:23:07Z This annoying hedgehog tore the Beatles apart, and for that I thank her. Small thanks also go out to John Lennon for being too much of a pussy to stop her. 2010-02-22T01:27:42Z 24 0 2010-02-22T01:27:42Z I bet they really reinvented those songs live, on stage, in front of an actual audience. I'd love to hear some live versions of those. Know where I can find any? Oh, that's right. They stopped playing gigs shortly after they became a teeny-bopping pop band, and continuted their no-show well after the "screaming teenage girls" had merit as an excuse for not doing so. I bet Peter Tork probably knows more about playing live than Lennon does. 2010-02-22T01:41:29Z 25 0 2010-02-22T01:41:29Z You know their music sucks and the musicians that perform the music suck when one of the members dies and they go ahead and play a show 2 days later. "Brian Jones, don't take it personally, mate - we'll just start hiring American musicians that actually created something original" 2010-02-22T06:31:51Z 26 1 2010-02-22T06:31:51Z Some musicians move on after the death of a band member. And some start a band called Wings. 2010-02-22T19:23:41Z 27 0 2010-02-22T19:23:41Z When I hear the term "moving on" I associate it with forward progress. The only thing that's progressed with the Stones is that their faces look more and more like catcher's mitts every decade. 2010-02-22T22:23:57Z 28 1 2010-02-22T22:25:28Z Oscar Wilde wants Keith to know that he appreciates his support, but Dorian Grey needs his painting back. 2010-02-22T22:29:19Z 29 1 2010-02-22T22:29:19Z I just saw Mick Jagger singing "I saw her standing there" at the 1988 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction of The Beatles (on TV) and he looked like my grandma's girlfriend. 2010-02-25T03:42:47Z 30 1 2010-02-25T03:42:47Z When Mick Jagger sings, it looks like he's trying to swallow Poseidon's invisible "trident", if you know what I'm saying. 2010-02-25T22:08:18Z 31 1 2010-02-25T22:08:38Z I'm supporting the Stones, just because I feel like being contrary. 2010-03-05T16:07:58Z 32 0 2010-03-05T16:07:58Z
