Re: The Great 7 bands

I dont like Van Halen very much either.

But, Van Morrisson has "Brown Eyed Girl", and I love folk, so I disagree with him being a crappy artist.

But he still doesnt deserve to make the list :P.

Re: The Great 7 bands

I can't even poll since I like all of the bands and I like them all for different reasons. I feel it's like comparing each year of a corvette they are all great

(could be a bad comparison but.... it will do)

I voted for Van Halen, Eddie's a great guitarist, but I never thought the band was as good as they are made out to be

Re: Beatles

As for Harrison, name a guitar player that is well known like him and is WORSE than him...it can't be done easily. It is ironic that most of the bands the Beatles infuenced could play their instruments way better than the fab four.

As for Kreiger being better...it's just a matter of apples and oranges--which do you like better? Personally, I'd rather listen to Harrison over Kreiger anyday.[/QUOTE]

Re: Beatles

Because playing your instrument well is always the best indication of creativity.

Re: The Great 7 bands

Re: The Great 7 bands

I just voted for the Stones.
Dunno why, but I have an immense hatred of the Stones (mind you, Micks cameo in 'The Rutles' was piss funny!)
I know its not much of a reason, but hell, i'm sticking with it.

Can't understand why anybody would have voted for the Beatles though. I'm sure somebody posted a small list of their songs here, and that doesn't even come close to covering their genius.

And surely anybody who voted for Floyd as the most over-rated has to ask themselves exactly why they are here.....

Jagger --> <-- Lennon
