You can like the Stones and the Beatles, but it's something like the quandary that Mia Wallace presents in Pulp Fiction:
"...there are only two kinds of people in the world, Beatles people and Elvis people. Now Beatles people can like Elvis and Elvis people can like the Beatles, but nobody likes them both equally. Somewhere you have to make a choice. And that choice, tells you who you are."
Think what you will about the Beatles, but 90% is a large percent to consider crap. I like it all. |
 This is true. I'm an Elvis guy who likes the Beatles.
Also, anybody who references Pulp Fiction is alright by me.

I don't consider 90% of it crap, I consider 90% of the acid laced garbling nonsense that plagued most of their albums after 1965 indeed, crap.

What about the Beach Boys when they were on drugs?

The same. 80-90% of the drug stuff was crap. Meaning I realllllly liked 10-20% of "Pet Sounds"
This isn't to knock all LSD influenced music, just the majority of it. Most of these things confused being subtle and obscure with depth.

John and Paul's worst songs are better than everything I hear on the radio today. Maybe more bands need to be taking acid. Plus, George came into his own after 1965. [Exception: Revolution No. 9...that's not art.]
RE: The Beach Boys. They are AWESOME. I actually listened to Pet Sounds when I was cooking dinner tonight.

George didn't have anything to do with Revolution #9, that was a John and Yoko travesty. Everything George did was awesome really, even his sitar stuff that not most people liked. And ya know, I actually kind of agree with you about the radio thing. I'd rather hear abstract crap than prefab over produced garbage like we hear today.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that George had any part in Revolution No. 9. It was just an exception in general. I certainly know that it was a part of John and Yoko's "Avant-Guarde a clue" junk.

Pet Sounds is one of my favorite albums. But I'm a huge Beach Boys fan. I like pretty much everything. Barbara Ann is alright, but was a joke for how popular it was compared to some of the less popular stuff that was much better. I wasn't huge on Kokomo. It was alright I guess.

Right on. Surfer Girl is a great album; it's got, obviously "Surfer Girl," but also "In My Room." It's got some great mellow songs, but also some pot-boilers.
I'm into collecting LPs, so 50s, 60s and 70s are my favorite. Though, it's pretty nice to play some gin rummy whilst listening to some Delta Blues.
