| :: john lennon (29 of 41 people agree) | | AGREE or DISAGREE | Why you would love john lennon...
john lennon was the most outspoken of the beatles whose solo career was as great as his time in the beatles.
towards the end of the beatles, john headed in his own direction, and if you compare the later john songs of the beatles, to his solo stuff, you'll find many similarities. | | [Edit Description] [previous edits] |
| :: radiohead (19 of 30 people agree) | | AGREE or DISAGREE | Why you would love radiohead...
these two bands, though decades apart, have many similarities. the beatles have been a major influence in radiohead's music, from motivations to string three songs together (happiness is a warm gun influencing paranoid android) to the more musical and meaningful songs, and experimental style. | | [Edit Description] [previous edits] |
| :: the rolling stones (21 of 38 people agree) | | AGREE or DISAGREE | Why you would love the rolling stones...
these two groups, often seen as rivals, were admirers of each other's works. john infact envied the 'bad boy' image the rolling stones had, due to his own rough life. he had problems with the 'clean cut' look of the beatles, and wanted people to know he had 'street cred.'
musicians from both bands have collaborated on songs of each others, and particularly early in the stones' career, a definite beatles influence is heard. the beatles also wrote some of the rolling stones' hit songs. | | [Edit Description] [previous edits] |
| :: pink floyd (21 of 40 people agree) | | AGREE or DISAGREE | Why you would love pink floyd...
these two groups, though a few years apart, did have some overlap. early pink floyd's psychedelic sound mimicked a lot the beatles' songs, as can be seen in floyd's see emily play.
the two bands have some great songs, and if you love one, you'll definitely love the other. | | [Edit Description] [previous edits] |
| :: george harrison (18 of 40 people agree) | | AGREE or DISAGREE | Why you would love george harrison...
george harrison was the lead guitarist of the beatles, and definitely played a major part in the overall beatles sound.
much of this sound can be heard in george's post-beatle career, which features the wah-wah, sliding guitar.
he also wrote and sang many memorable songs of the beatles. | | [Edit Description] [previous edits] |
