Beatles vs Stones..?

[Master Ray]

Seems about 50/50 on this one...

On a slightly divergent note, it's the anniversary of John Lennons murder... I still remember that day. I was a small boy coming down from his bedroom, ready for school and found my mother crying about some bloke called John Lennon... wasn't quite sure who he was...

Anyone got any memories of that day?

I remember looking out the window in the morning, someone was looking at a Newspaper, I noticed that the front page was just one picture which was unusual at the time. I then later found out who the picture was of, and what it was all about.

I remember still the face of the manic who murdered Lennon. I read an article about it then from some kid's rock magazine. Was so young and didn't understand the thing quite well in that age.

You folks heard about the Smack?

Paint it Black

...once you get past some boring adds.

Beach Boys  . Nah the Beatles Id say did one no-one did before and Id agree that some of the early stuff consisted of 4 words repeated throughout the song. Simple but catchy pop music.
The Stones were more rock/blues. I cant honestly pick a favourite. Like some stuff from both but equally dislike some.

Beatles

On the subject of 1960's British super groups, personally I rate "The Who" over "The Rolling Stones"

I'm into DP. Well they did only three albums in the end of 60's but listened to all of their first 10 albums in the eighties.

DP In Rock is one of my Top 50 

Child In Time or Flight of the Rats were  helpful follow other bands

Cool. How about Rat Bat Blue?

One of the craziest and best solos of Jon Lord.

Well, that's a new debate just waiting to be started, sir, you know which button to press!   

Hope to see you on Saturday...
