    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Agreed. The Beatles peaked with "She Loves You." Not even joking.

    Oh dear. A sadly popular delusion. Presumably among people with a fondness for barbershop quartets.

    Better argument: Pet Sounds was a better album than any Beatles album. Still false, but less obviously so.

    I think Pet Sounds is the best music ever recorded. I think the Beatles put out more great albums though. I get an audio-boner listening to the White Album with headphones.

    Just as tight, but more morose, were the albums from the 1964-65 school year, not the 1963-64 school year. 2 rhymes per line instead of one. Rubber Soul and Revolver.

    Most groups peak with their first hit, then get overconfident and rich in the 2nd half of the game. The Doors, etc.

    The Who sucked. Herman's Hermits was so much better. More hits, too.

    Dame stinks it up for three quarters and then goes off in the fourth when the game is out of reach.

    I see this has carried over from the Clipper series.

    Status quo.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The Beach Boys' earlier simpler songs were superior to the Beatles' earlier simpler songs and their later-'60s more sophisticated songs were far superior to the Beatles' later-'60s more sophisticated songs.

    Great harmonies aren't a bad thing, but I guess since the Beatles didn't have them, that's a convenient thing to sneer about. ;)

    Any chance Varejao or whatever his name is could get a further ban? JC

    Thread derailments make me happy.
