    elvis vs chuck berry

    in MY WORLD

    Posted

    I can't believe Elvis is winning this poll, he couldn't even write his own songs, all he did was dance like a goon. Chuck Berry would have been 100 times more popular than Elvis if he was white.

    this quote sums up everything:

    If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'.

    -John Lennon

    Fuck the Beatles

    the beatles weren't just pop,they were everything,

    Exactly. Maybe some of their early songs can be considered pop, like 'From Me to You', 'Thank you Girl' etc. but they also wrote some hard rock gems like Helter Skelter, Hey Bulldog, Everybodys got something to Hide..... etc. and performed classic rock n roll songs like I Saw Her Standing There, Twist and Shout, Money, etc.

    Then again, you have songs like Eleanor Rigby, Love You To, Within You Without You, Honey Pie, Tomorrow Never Know... those are songs that arent rock nor pop.

    This is how I define them: they are the most influential and important music band in history

    The Concert for Bangladesh

    I got the dvd... best $20 I spent in my life. This is one of the best concerts ever, it's great to see Eric and George playing together, then you have Ringo, Billy Preston a.k.a. The Fifth Beatle, Badfinger on acoustic guitars, Bob Dylan.... it's excellent. The video and sound quality are superb.

    If you don't have the dvd go and buy it now, you wont regret it.

    Rubber Soul takes my vote. It's my favorite Beatles album (with Revolver second)

    Norwegian Wood, In My Life, Nowhere Man, You Won't See Me (one of most underrated Beatles songs) , If I Needed Someone.... simply amazing

    The Beatles named Icons of the Century

    in MY WORLD

    Posted

    The Beatles have beaten jazz star Louis Armstrong and TV actress Lucille Ball to be named icons of the century by readers of US magazine Variety.

    It named the Liverpool band "the sole group who has most shaped the face of modern-day showbusiness".

    The magazine ranked 100 iconic entertainment figures from the last 100 years, with industry figures drawing up a shortlist that readers voted on.

    What a Wonderful World singer Armstrong came second, with Ball in third place.

    Among the criteria for choosing "icons" were their commercial and creative impact, number of imitators, enduring appeal and whether they appeared on T-shirts.

    The list aimed to represent every side of showbusiness, including actors, directors, screenwriters, musicians, TV presenters, animals, comedians and even cartoon characters.

    However, its top 10 was dominated by Hollywood and music stars.

    Despite the constant popularity of the late singer's work, Elvis Presley appeared in 10th place, below Marilyn Monroe and Mickey Mouse.

    Among other names on the list were US TV host Johnny Carson, singer Johnny Cash and canine star Lassie.

    Variety conducted the poll to mark its 100th anniversary. It did not reveal how many votes were cast.
