I suppose you could have named the thread, "Aftermath":)

Beatles, Zeppelin... whatever. I mean it's obvious that John Denver trumps both anyway.

"Stick Finger or the Octopus's Garden: Which Do You Prefer" would have been a bit more appropriate.
But what can you do!:p:D

I can't think of John Denver without that Python "You Came On My Pillow" song running through my head. Why not add Barry Manilow into this mix and see how long it takes Rick to join in?

Or that great hit, "I'm leaving on an experimental plane..."
Too soon?

I feel like I got to the party and all that is left is empty bottles and deflated balloons.
And the Stones rock. The Beatles were the Barry Manilow of their time! :D ;)
Damn-Publius beat me to the BM reference!!

Lanky134 runs a music podcast called Wings for Wheels. He recently interviewed Glen Campbell and it was more interesting than you would expect. I knew Campbell had played with the Beach Boys but I had no idea he was a session guitarist for Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night."

So far we've got Beatles v Stones, what about Diamond v Manilow? ;)

Nah, Barry Manilow was the Barry Manilow of their time. You do hit on something though. The Stones definitely "rock". The Beatles, not so much, but the music is still "as good" if not "better" than the Stones.

Wow. Aerosmith and Shakespeare references in 3 words. Top that if you can! :D

Neil Diamond hands down.
A buddy of mine went to see Neil Diamond in Vegas and he said it was basically him and a bunch of 60 year old women.

Manilow worked as a commercial jingle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle) writer/singer,[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manilow#_note-8) an activity that continued well into the 1970s. He penned many of the jingles that he performed, including those for Bowlene Toilet Cleaner, State Farm Insurance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Farm_Insurance), Stridex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridex) acne cleanser and Band-Aid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band-Aid), amongst others. His singing-only credits included Kentucky Fried Chicken (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_Fried_Chicken), Pepsi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsi), Jack in the Box (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_in_the_Box), Dr Pepper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Pepper), and the famed McDonald's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald%27s) "You Deserve a Break Today" campaign.[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manilow#_note-9) Manilow won two Clio Awards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Awards) in 1976 for his work for Tab (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab_%28soft_drink%29) and Band-Aid.

The Beatles rocked pretty well in a 1950's sort of way. Their Little Richard and Chuck Berry covers are ace. Even original stuff like "Slow Down" is a helluva rock and roll song. But if you're talking about thundering guitar riffs or flat out balls to the wall rock, the Beatles were indeed lacking with the possible exceptions of the fast version of "Revolution" or "Helter Skelter."

from the other thread...
Wait – when did the Beatles become "gym" music?
not really sure. I've noticed that if I go to the gym before 7 the music is more "classic rock" then say around 7:45 when it turns into Top 40 garbage.

But if you're talking about thundering guitar riffs or flat out balls to the wall rock, the Beatles were indeed lacking with the possible exceptions of the fast version of "Revolution" or "Helter Skelter." Their musicianship got derailed by the desire to be a symphony instead of a band. Harrison was certainly a pretty outstanding musician.
Same reason they quit touring. They just lost the plot.
