There seems to be someone or other lurking around to take the contrary view on anyything. Is this you? Convince me you believe one of the following:

"The Beatles were pants. Good job they split so Ringo Starr could get on with his solo stuff."

"Of course, the classic Sabbath line up was
Iommi/Murray/Nicholls/Powell/Martin."

No way, maaaan, it's all about the unjustly forgotten BEV "ELO" BEVAN era circa Born Again

I don't really mean that, by the way.

I know several people who only enjoy Can from "Soon After Babaluma" and on, without all those annoying weird vocals.

"Photograph" and "The No No Song" are better than the majority of the Beatles' recorded output.

I am currently in the process of DLing both Tago Mago (which I haven't really heard much of) and their '79 self-titled star-and-a-half-on-AMG album (ditto, though I love the everloving hell out of "Sunday Jam") and I have the uneasy feeling that I will somehow enjoy the latter more than the former.

Actually, guys, Born Again fucking rules. Others have laughed but have seen the light when pressed to listen. that album destroys all of the Dio-fronted shit and a LOT of the Ozzy-fronted shit

and Headless Cross was a fine latter-day metal album - if only it was credited to a different band.

No way does Born Again beat Heaven and Hell! You're on crack!

I actually listened to BA a couple months ago. It's a great idea - Gillan w/ Sabbath - but the album is just kind of boring. I love "Zero the Hero" though.

Ringo Starr's "Beaucoups of Blues" is better than any Beatles record I like.

― Cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 15 March 2003 23:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm a regular on ILX and I like the Beatles a lot.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 16 March 2003 00:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I have no problem with Heaven and Hell - OR Mob Rules - both of those records are great - but I prefer Born Again, partially because of it's obscuro 'everybody hates it' status, but also because it just flat out rulz
plus i LOVE the cover

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Sunday, 16 March 2003 00:13 (twenty-three years ago)

The cover is great, I'll certainly give ya that. But really now.......Bev Bevan? Whose ridiculous idea was that?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 16 March 2003 00:32 (twenty-three years ago)

granted, that was ill-advised. But Gillian makes up for it - that dude was, pound for pound, a better singer than Ozzy, Dio and Tony Martin put together (and i'm not really a huge Deep Purple fan)

by the way - has anyone noticed how much Roy Wood (The Move, Wizzard) sounds like Ozzy?

If you play any Poison record backward you hear secret messages from Gilbert Gottfried.

"Photograph" and "The No No Song" are better than the majority of the Beatles' recorded output.

though Ally clearly meant this as a joke (?), i know that I would rather hear "photograph" and "the no no song" than the majority of the Beatles' recorded output!

You might be wrong there.

"The Beatles were pants. Good job they split so Ringo Starr could get on with his solo stuff."
Yeah, Hippees the world over have a deep dark secret that they don't even admit to each other: They get less enjoyment being stoned and listening to the white album than they do being stoned and watching that Thomas the Train Engine show. They can't bring themselves to admit that the Ringo Starr-era episodes of "Thomas the Train Engine" were actually 20x better than any Paul McCartney-penned pop choon they could name.
And even worse, the George Carlin-era are still better than McCartney's solo career.

in the us, it was called "shiny time station."

ringo had most taste in the beatles...he didn't play on yesterday.

Ringo's version of "Photograph" was crap compared to the one Donny Osmond did on TV for one of his 'but I'm a li'l bit rock'n'roll' segments

― dave q, Sunday, 16 March 2003 12:05 (twenty-three years ago)

"...okay so I can't play a guitar, 'cause I ain't got no arms see, and my voice, well, toot-toots went out with hipster jazz never mind rock'n'roll.

Sex? Sex? I actually am a train who really does go through tunnels all the time, like ten times a day maybe. Both ways. The novelty wears off man.

So what does that leave? I'll tell you: drugs.
Drugs.
And _more_ drugs. Like I got two guys I know literally shovelling them into me and..."

I have a recollection of the osmond brothers singing Bowie's "Fame" .. especially the part where it starts high and goes way down to the low register (Wayne fuckin' Osmond, mofo .. sang as low as Barry White) One of them, I dunno which - Tito maybe - started up high and then the next bro would sing the next octave down & so on until all you felt was a punch in the chest ..

b.b.b.but did I dream this? or does anyone else remember it?

yoko ono's solo work blows away the beatles.

are you just looking for "unpopular opinions"?

i enjoy alice coltrane's work far more than john's.
