Well, as much as you feel differently, I think this is going to be a hard one to fight. Let's say perhaps maybe you have something, it'd be pretty hard to fight the mass flock of Beatles fans all over the world to agree with you. It's a fight I don't think you can win, even if you're correct.
It's like those who think Wilt Chamberlain is better than MJ...though the world believes MJ to be the greatest basketball player ever. It's just not going to happen.
Could you, then? If you believe thousands of opinions override one, then millions must kill it, right? You believe you could argue The Beatles over Britney?
You don't use secondary sources Whirly. You find sites and then claim you agree.
You are arguing that I am losing a battle because there's more Beatles fans. So? There could be a billion claiming that they're the best at everything ever, doesn't make it any more true.
Millions voted for Bush because they believed him to be the man for the job. Case closed. Numbers mean nothing and if that's your only argument, I suggest you bail out.
I don't care if "fewer bands" are as regarded for innovation. The Beatles didn't innovate that much, they were just the first to do things, which isn't ACTUAL innovation. Innovation is primarily taking something that exists and drastically altering it or changing it. The Beatles didn't do that as much as people claim.

If you wish to argue for Britney go ahead
No I found sites that agree with me I stated my opinion first I'd like to see things from your point of view, but I can't seem to get my head that far up your ass mate.

Could you realistically argue against a million Britney Spears fans, if they said she was better in many ways, than The Beatles? Yes or no? Simple question.
Of course you found sites that agree with you, we're talking about The Beatles. It's not hard, they're the classic name to drop. Anyone in search of musical credibility decides to namecheck them.
I just quoted your massive copy and paste job, you decided to skip it. Either reply or don't. Your call.
AC, I think your disdain? for the Beatles may be clouding your normally intelligent capacity to see clearly. Post 2 threads, and let's see the results of what people HERE say. Thread #1: Who is the most innovative band of all time, and #2) Who is the most influential band of all time. Make them singular response answers. We are not asking for seconds on these, or an order/rank. We won't take ties either for #1.
I could be wrong, but I'd bet you'd find the Beatles winning both threads even IF you are correct. I don't know what else to tell you, man.
Disdain? I love The Beatles, don't assume. This is where you become a confused guy. You think that because I'm not rating them over every band, I don't like them. As if that's the Beatles requirement.
Exactly, even if I am correct, The Beatles would likely win because they're The Beatles. That's why they're rated so high, name over quality. Which is wrong.
Give it up man, your posts obviously show some intelligence, but you are just looking very ignorant in this thread. How much do these guys have to own you?

Why are they credible? Because they're published and on the net? Everyone and their mothers are saying that Arctic Monkeys are great, are they? I mean magazines are saying it, many people are saying it, must be true right?
I countered each and every one of the points from whoever's essay it was you pasted. You chose to reply with two lines of sarcasm rather than countering, because we know you have nothing beyond Google.
Agreed, Whirley....CK, the music forums is a place where people love to speak passionately about their music, and that is what is respected most here...its subjectivity.
