Claude_Verret Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Howard Stern and various artists put together a tribute "album" for the 50th anniversary of the Beatles Revolver. I think that the special airs next week, but he's been airing clips the past few days. Grace Potter does a nice job on Good Day Sunshine, Jewel on Eleanor Rigby and Cheap Trick doing She Said She Said were some clips that I heard. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/howard-stern-details-all-star-tribute-to-beatles-revolver-w442971 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I recognize the Beatles as the greatest band ever for what they did, but taste wise, for me, it's Stones > Beatles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 And Zeppelin blows them both out of the water, musically.Musically, I'm not sure. Zeppelin's thing was playing folk/blues/rock and taking every song up to 11 at some point, and I love them for it. I think the Beatles were much more unique, incredible, and controlled in their approach to writing music. There's really nothing else like it.

Maybe I'm being rude/ignorant to the Beatles, because I've never liked them enough to really get into any of their stuff. But I've yet to see a band make things as diverse as tracks 2-7 on HoTH, and stay as mainstream as they did. Physical Graffiti was a complete masterpiece. I can't say any Beatles ballad impressed me as much as basically the only (power) ballad Zep did, in The Rain Song. I have utmost respect for what the Beatles did to music, but in a vacuum it doesn't impress me anywhere near as much as many other bands I listen to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I think the Stones were much, much better than Zeppelin (of whom I was not a fan). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hey. This is the Things that Are Awesome thread, not the [OT] Greatest Rock Band of All Time? thread. p.s. It's one of the Beatles or the Stones (it's the Beatles); Zeppelin does not belong in the conversation (and never has). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Music is subjective. That is why "the greatest band of all time" arguments are just silly, imo. I like the Beatles. Could never stand the Stones (like, hate them). Would listen to Zepplin but they were never really a destination for me, but to say they are overrated is just nonsense. The Beatles and Zepplin changed they way music was written. The Stones were just a different form of Pop music.
