Now to keep on subject:

MMT is awesome. I really started appreciating it more when I finally got it for my B-day (it was teh first CD I ever wanted, and now I finally have it)....the title track kicks ***, Flying kicks ***, Fool on the Hill kicks ***, Walrus of course kicks ***, Baby You're a Rich Man kicks ***.........but above all, SFF kicks the *** of all!

Peace!

Favorite Beatles' albums
-------------------------
1. Revolver
2. White Album
3. Magical Mystery Tour
4. Sgt Peppers
5. Let It Be
6. Abby Road
7. Rubber Soul

There has [I]never[/I] been a Rock band that has produced 7+ absoulte classics in a row like they did. I think they're easily the greatest band to ever exist. Not to mention how influential they've been to the rest of the world. No one can compare and I'm sure some of the regulars in here will agree.

Lunch 07-30-2005 11:19 PM

The only band I can think comes close is The Kinks, and although they're albums aren't widely accepted as the premier crop of Rock music, they certainly are in my opinion.

Kontroversy, Face to Face, Something Else, Village Green Preservation Society, Arthur, Lola Vs. Powerman and the Moneygoround, Muswell Hillbillies.

I've had some arguments in here about The Who being greater than the Bealtes, and personally I think I made some decent points, but I'm not going to get into that again.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
The Times They Are A-Changin'

Who's AC/DC?

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 07-30-2005 11:22 PM

That reminds me I need more Kinks. :-/

[I]Village Green Preservation Society[/I] is the only one I have but I seriously don't think they could compare to the all mighty Beatles.

Lunch 07-30-2005 11:24 PM

I prefer much of the Kinks material to the Beatles, but I'm probably the only one.

I've never heard of them either. :confused:

Although that's a mighty fine line up I still don't think they come even remotly close to what the Beatles accomplished.

Badmoon 07-30-2005 11:28 PM

The Kinks do not even come close (NOT CLOSE) to The Beatles, (IMO).

I just watched Barton Fink; there's a movie everyone should watch 10 times, take notes and then attempt to interpret.

BludgeonySteve 07-30-2005 11:28 PM

[QUOTE=Lunch]but I'm probably the only one.[/QUOTE]

Umm, yeah.

Lunch 07-30-2005 11:29 PM

So far my theory is correct. I guess I have a thing for concept albums. I'd take Lola, Village Green or Arthur over The Beatles pretty much any day.

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 07-30-2005 11:33 PM

Concept album are tad bit overrated if you ask me. Unless it's actully a good concept of course but that rarely happens.

Lunch 07-30-2005 11:36 PM

I personally really enjoy the Lola concept.

It's about rock being turned into a formula, basically. In the album, the Kinks represent a fictional band trying to make it big, and "Lola" (the song) is actually the fictional band's hit single that gets them success. The rest is a mock of the record business and how music was becoming much more business oriented and controlled by the companies.

And besides that the music is just great.

I'm seeing Barton Fink soon.

The Kinks are pretty good. "Waterloo Sunset" is so great.

Illmatic 07-30-2005 11:37 PM

Speaking of Dylan, I got "Is It Rolling Bob? A Reggaue Tribute To Bob Dylan" today. It's a pretty cool CD.

yummyramen 07-30-2005 11:42 PM

has anyone noticed all those "hints" on the Beatles album that McCartney was dead (even though none of it is true...)? my dad showed those to me and i was freaked out!

BludgeonySteve 07-30-2005 11:43 PM

haha, but he's not dead. It would be more freaky if it was John.

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 07-30-2005 11:45 PM

!daed si luaP

Like at the end of Revolution 9 where the chants say "Paul is dead!" a couple of times. Yea, good stuff.

Seafroggys 07-30-2005 11:48 PM

Yeah the PAul is Dead theory is really widely known. Anybody who's a classic rock fan probably knows about it.

I've never really listened to the Kinks. But Lola is a cool song. Have any of you heard Weird Al's version :lol:

Leper 07-31-2005 12:37 AM

The Paul is Dead hoax really tripped me out when i was reading about it, though i knew it was totally fake. But when you're reading about all those hints, and then checking them out for yourself..thoughts start creeping into your head. I love the Kinks, but i've really only heard their radio hits (Lola, you really got me, all day and all of the night). I think it's about time i got more in-depth with them.

clown_phobia 07-31-2005 05:13 AM

Well the beatles didn't become aware of the 'paul is dead' hoax until '69 - and paul supposedly died in '65 - that's about when the 'clues' started too.

Broken Arrow 07-31-2005 07:14 AM

I dont know, I dont think the Kinks are better than the Beatles but I do think Arthur is better than alot of th Beatles albums. I think the White album and Abbey Road are the only 2 better than it.

markface 07-31-2005 07:22 AM

The Kinks - You Really Got Me

Kickass riff that you'd have to go a long way to find a heavier guitar sound, even today.

robo2448 07-31-2005 08:03 AM

I haven't heard enough of the Kinks, but Village Green is a great album. I should get Arthur. I don't think they're better than the Beatles though.

Woodstock 07-31-2005 08:54 AM

The only Kinks album I'm still looking for is [I]Face To Face[/I]. But their string of nostalgic/concept albums is hard to beat. [I]Arthur[/I] is one of my favorite albums of all time.

rockinbass17 07-31-2005 09:40 AM

The Kinks had a pretty long track record. They started mid-60's and I have seen albums that weere released in the 80's.

I know. For a band that was considered the underdog of the British invasion, they sure held out a long time.

Stevie Wonder is ridiculously awesome.

jpj 07-31-2005 10:59 AM

[QUOTE]I also have the one where The Allman Bros., Arthur Lee, and Peter Green jam with the Dead if you are interested.[/QUOTE]
:eek: [B][SIZE=7]ME = INTERESTED[/SIZE][/B]



MMT is one of my favorite Beatles albums.


Which song is it where John says "Paul is a dead man" when played backwards? I was thinking Fool on the Hill.


I have Lola, Arthur (or the Rise and Fall of the British Empire), and The Village Green Preservation Society. None of it comes close to the Beatles ('66 and onward Beatles that is).

Walrus Gumboot 07-31-2005 02:03 PM

It just goes to show what you can hear if you really want to. Just like all of those old ladies thingking Louie Louie had swears-- it didn't, they just wanted it to in their twisted little minds so they did
