    Mumford & Sons are the first gay band. What's your point?

    I agree.

    But this won't end well.

    The Beatles IMHO(it is just opinion ya know) are the most overrated thing ever.

    To me Lenon and Harrison were talented but McCartney and Star are absolute hacks.

    Yes, the most decorated songwriter ever is just a hack.

    Lennon and Harrison are the only two I really care about, but I dunno how you can even say McCartney was a hack.

    Well duh. Dylan is a damned poet. You can't really compare the two at all either; McCartney is a pop song writer, Dylan is not. That doesn't necessarily mean that one of them is worse unless you're one of those weird old people who complain about how pop music isn't real music or something. To deny the greatness of either dudes songwriting abilities would be absurd, and is unrelated to personal preference.

    M&S are just better at hiding it.

    While part of the Beatles' success was the accident of history, they found their greatest success when Lennon and McCartney were collaborators on songs. When each became more individualistic and then onto their solo careers, you could see the flaws of each. Lennon was a philosopher given to pretentious sermonizing and McCartney was prone to jolly works of commercial fluff. Each was somehow able to tell the other early on that their song was crap to where they worked to make it better, Paul by making John's work more palatable and John by telling Paul that his lyrics were too vapid.

    IMO, they will always be the best group act in the history of pop/rock because of their versatility and historical significance. Later generations built on what groups like the Beatles and Stones produced.

    One could also argue that the Stones and the Animals helped the Beatles' success because four cheeky lads from Liverpool seemed "safe" for their daughters when contrasted with the more suggestive and cocky Stones. Early on, mothers complained about the Beatles' long hair and tight trousers but after getting a look at the Stones, the Beatles were considered more harmless. I know this sounds laughable today but that's where the music scene was back then.
    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.

    Revolver is my favorite album of theirs. I think it came out about the same time they discovered drugs.

    Yeah, that is my favorite too. Tons of drug references. "Got to Get You into my Life" written by Mr. McCartney sounds like a harmless love song but it's actually about marijuana.

    Huh. I didn't know that. I figured it was about a girl. I guess it was and her name was Mary Jane. I think my favorite song on the album is I'm Only Sleeping.
