Anyone who does not recognize the Beatles as the greatest rock band of all time, by a wide margin, is either stupid or being 'cool' by not liking them. I have seen this a lot. "Oh the Beatles? meh." God. Look, Mozart was great, ok? Beethoven was great, The Beatles were great. Your cool cred does not increase by not liking the Beatles. And yes the Stones were great also, and the Who and so on. But the Beatles stand on top, by far.
- I think this sums up a lot of success haters in the UKqTime
- no, it sums up how daft twokids isFax_Benson
- It's not fucking fashion, they're mediocre at best when held up to everything else of the era. EO.moth

This thread was a light poke to the other 2 best band threads. Ppl & their big egos & their best bands ever, ya know? Hence I posted the bouncy, wobbly bobbly vid. Which, while I admittedly liking that, not the best piece of music ever. Thats the point. Yet I wasn't expected angry counters such yours. You even checked my location lol. Oh yeah, I also like the vid because there is some 'Arab in thobe' since I live here in BH. But I'm actually Indonesian. Sure British music is way far more superior than ours, but I heard that Beatles took some inspirations & tricks from Indorockers they saw in German clubs. Anyway, I'm heading to a cold store nearby, need a tampon? :) Meanwhile, here some Indorock for ya:cheers:
- hey dobre what the fuck is going on over there with the gassing and shit. are you near any of that?HijoDMaite
- BH? Pretty laid back actually, despite the ppl vs gov. thing. Still burnt tires & raids in some villages (US fully supports the regime) but life & bizz go on.dobre
- i know and from the Twitter feed #Bahrain I've seen that the government is gassing homes thoughHijoDMaite
- ..the regime) but life & bizz go on. We expats mostly live in own bubble, some in small compound islandsdobre
- where the wives preying those unemployed Bahraini youths who burn tires.dobre
- Yeah mostly in some shiaa villages. Actually a friend got a bit when taking money off ATM nearby. But its not Syriadobre
- Sad for it still, but well..Damn US & Iran!dobre
- I've been reading up on Amber Lyon a reporter who was fired at CNN for exposing some shit about BahrainHijoDMaite
- she said Bahrain is paying big amounts of money to CNN to not run any of the protests and wellHijoDMaite
- you can read some here.
https://wallofcontro…HijoDMaite - just wanted to get your thoughts on thisHijoDMaite
- I'll read that later, but as said US fully supports the regime so they dont even need to pay CNN if needed.dobre
- US needs the regime (happens to be of minority sunni royals) to stay in power for the mil base & control over Iran's influence on the region.dobre
- the gulf.dobre
- makes senseHijoDMaite
- To be fair, their gov. isnt that bad. FREE medical services, school, houses for married even Americans dont get that.dobre
- Yet some bad guys steal lands off villagers & doin bad bizz & get away with those. U protest u r dead things like that.dobre
- Also some discrimination like when u r a shiaa u cant join the army or police for obvious reasons.dobre
- These, being used by outside powers for their own benefits.dobre

You don't need to take me seriosuly Dobre. I'm only ranting for effect, I just can't stand The Clash is all. You can disregard everything else as mere banter for self amusement.
