Does anyone else think the Beatles were actually really shit?
Or is that just me..?

Wonderful thread - can we have best Blancmange Flavour next because the World clearly needs to know the NSC verdict (obviously with a definitive pecking order of flavours to settle this most important question once and for all)?
I hate to rain on your parade NE, but honestly, I don't think anyove gives a f*** what 'Scooter' look like.
Out of interest, have you got any substance behind calling them the 'greatest band ever'? Musically, what exactly have they done that makes them stand out? Try to be a bit intellectual, not just fire empty superlatives and call them legends. I'm honestly intrigued to see what you reasoning behind them being the greatest band ever is.
Ah damn. I got it mixed up with
"Is it a bird, is it a plane? It must be Dave, who's on the train"
Easy enough mistake to make eh?
I can honestly say i don't know. Care to enlighten me!?
Any band that can go onstage for 3-4 hours, with no support act, that can fill Wembley, Hampden Park, The Millenium Stadium, Slane Castle, and thats just the UK venues, do this for the best part of 30-35 years, sell out 15 nights at Madison Square Gardens, go straight to No1 i the LP charts on release day, has a back catalogue of 28 albums must go pretty close.
Ladies and Gentlemen,BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND
Having been buying music from 1962 onwards i think i would be hard pushed to select three bands. British bands who were best for me and still hold there own on disc would be Stones, Who, Kinks, Small Faces
I was really into west coast usa bands, so for those i would go for The Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger service and airplane. Added to that CCR. But for me i have reduced it to my three faves as follows
Country Joe and the Fish
Love
Doors
Substance? I f***ing love them. That's more than enough justification for me to say they're the greatest band ever. 16 years, and still going strong. I think that says a little something about their musical career aswell. Also, did I mention I rather like them? I believe that's what this sort of thread is all about.
Small Faces

Steve Marriott had the best voice of any UK singer, so much soul, yet he never took himself or the band too seriously.
