It's certainly on of the forum's more depressing 17 page reads.

So in the spirit of keeping things civil, here's a song for us to enjoy by the most influential and overrated band of all time

Bach has been the most influential musician of the last 400 years.

Yet, you may not "like" his music. That doesn't mean he is overrated and thinking so is just ignorance and saying so is just posturing.

Are we done now?

I'll refer you to my previous reply about making ridicluous posts while not having been here long enough to make a worthwhile point.

To claim that my opinion is not valid because I'm new is frankly quite stupid.

No, absolutely not, but making assumptions without foundation most definitely is.

I just asked a question that you haven't been able to answer in more than six posts.

Give it a rest now. 21 posts in and you're in at the deep end, post something constructive. Do you have a favourite Beatles tune maybe?

Here's another belter

This is a semantic argument now.

Yep, I'd go with that - assuming you're referring to my point about it being impossible to over-rate an artist.

You shouldn't base your musical taste on a bands fan base. You've got it wrong from the beginning there pal.

erm did you read my post properly ?
is it actually difficult to understand? [i]"One of the"[/i] part of a sentence usually gives it away to being more reason :huh: So in a way you have proven my point by not actually reading my post you just assumed that I'm wrong because I'm not a fan of the Beatles......pal !

Is that documented fact? From his contemporaries or shortly after - or something accepted by classical experts? As opposed to Beethoven, Strauss, Litsz, Wagner etc
Serious question, honest.

See! Now you missed a chance there, if you'd said "it's [i]going[/i] cheap", I could have said "No good, I want a bass that goes ba-doing!" :lol:

Aaah, ...... you mean like Sid Vicious? ;) :P
[/quote]

Could be, though I was thinking of Adam Clayton. Same principle though.


But we'd best not digress or we'll be arguing about Mustang Sally or Brown Eyed Girl again. ;)


In fact, perhaps the mods should consider adding the Beatles and Mustang Sally to politics, religion and sexism as topics to be avoided lest it all descends into name calling. :lol:

In the very depths of my divorce, which was especially nasty on her part I once cried when I heard "Carry That Weight". Does that count?

Who do you want to "document" it that would satisfy you?

Yes, it is accepted by classical experts. Every other composer you mentioned were influenced by Bach. Any other questions?

Admit it -- you're try trying to be provocative now. If you don't understand the Beatles or Bach and their importance, that's fine. But don't pass off a lack of understanding as insight. It's just silly.

That counts.

My personal favourite is Here There and Everywhere.

Another factoid: 'I am the Walrus' has more than a dozen different chords (including 7ths, sus4, maj7, ?/?)... yet, not one single minor chord... all major.

Great stuff. The other tune that gets me with its level of complexity is this one, such a lot to cram into a song under 2 minutes

Wow that was great. I usually avoid the Lennon solo stuff but this was interesting. A little Zappa.
