meh

I prefer what I posted

i get that, i thought you meant r&b in general.

i love Stevie so listen to him all the time, but i think his legacy makes him rank pretty highly personal taste aside.

fight me

still working on my Humble Pie list

there's not been another beatles either. in fact their situation is probably more unmatched since the 60s then MJ's.

it's not discrediting Michael Jackson if it's true lol. sometimes as fans we put things on artists they probably wouldn't even think about themselves.

Well I was thinking, y'know, how this thread has been posted before, and its pretty pointless now ,y'know, you just need to Let it Be, but if I was to answer again it would be The Beatles but they're both great, y'know

oh yeah don't get me wrong i love the self-written Small Faces stuff.

Tin Soldier is crazy.

i think whatcha gonna do about it is a classic cover tbh

well he is a MJ stan lol

Nigga comparing the Cacvengers to MJ???

neither are the goat but the beatles were better songwriters & musicians in general. Michael had a better voice tho & he looked iconic

true but i can think of major flaws in most of my favourite artists. nobody's perfect lol, they're all humans at the end of the day

idk why i find it hilarious watching the janet avi get involved in these conversations in a nuanced way lmao

none of us are "desperate to discredit MJ"

we are looking at it from all sides. I like MJ more, but to put him beside the Beatles? They're equal.

The Beatles focused on the musical aspect while MJ focused on performance

Ad again, they are two different eras and two different genres

its not a cover?

All Or Nothing and Im Only Dreaming my absolute faves and rank way up there in my all time list

Rods cover of Reason To Believe too when you take into account all of Lane/Jones/McLagen's work they definitely need to get brought up every time someone discusses best brit bands of the 60s and 70s. Keith knew they were hot on their heels to the point of scooping up Ron asap.

Rich nigga timeline>>>>>>abbey road

the only edge id give to the beatles is bc george clinton was inspired by them but with that being said funkadelic is better than both of them

I'm just looking at it from all sides. It's not really a fair conversation to begin with since no one here truly experienced the Beatles.

I say it's equal lol. MJ stans always go "well the Beatles released more music and more consistently etc". But even when we include J5 they managed to outchart MJ in what 1/4 the time??? That's absolutely crazy.

They were two different acts with different strengths and weaknesses

i saw Paul live about 7 years ago and it was still pretty blatantly a Beatle in your face did not expect him to tear ass like he did but damn

never saw MJ but i have seen James Brown and Prince and Smokey

i always thought it was like a double cover. cos it's essentially just that soloman burke song, and then i thought they brought in producers to write the lyrics for them.

i could be wrong tho

and yeah i agree, they're definitely up there for that era. ronnie is perfect for the stones, although i love mick taylor's studio work a lot

yeah and i bet the chart history on all the motown and other genre covers of beatles material is crazy stats too

brian was goat for his instrumental variety, mick for his scorching solos. ron gets credit for keeping keith alive i guess.

thoughts on peter green?

Here comes the sun >>> any mj song

i love peter green, was sad to see him pass away

i love music from fleetwood mac across eras. they can be a bit cheesy, but they write great songs. he had some good moments outside of the band too

wbu?

I had Neil Young, Jeff Beck and Jack White as my personal top 3 guitarists for eons untill I discovered Peter era Fleetwood a couple years ago had to make it a top 4

Then Play On so f***ing immaculate. Finally listened to my End Of The Game cd i had sitting around for like a year the day he passed away

MJ

check paul out on here

mj never had a song this life affirming
