True true.

Having said that, their misunderstood avant-vaporwave masterpiece A Half-Remembered Summary of an Episode of 'The Love Boat' Told in Real Time (1998) should win this.

big fan of God Damn It myself

I mostly made this to nudge us a little closer to that milestone 1000th Beatles poll which is surely just around the corner. We can do it, folks!

Tough one. Ultimately went with Hvis lyset tar oss.

have you heard of this hilarious musician frank zappa

Did you know there are SEVERAL bands that go by 'THE BEATLESS'? HAR HAR!

coco vide (pomenitul), Monday, 23 March 2020 19:57 (four years ago) link

Real talk, though, the reason we keep coming back to The Beatles is because they are – wait for it – the greatest band of all time. Every single one of their albums is flawless and some are more flawless than others.

more songs about guildenstern and fuddruckers
hey, shouldn’t that thing be on a leash ???
the maurice blanchot institute for lactic uncertainty
brews, snooze and the inflatable goos
yes, mr. richardson, we couldn’t agree more
that time jenny gave mouth to mouth to an otter
world gazetteer with free baked amphetamine fungus
being for the rectal considerations of pygmy socialites
joe’s a schmuck and freddie can sing (part xvii)
alternate theoretical models for brain freeze
wermp: being the notes of a cramped linguist
gothic cathedrals of singapore
fornicators and the nuns who love them
don’t even look at my budweiser

budo jeru, Monday, 23 March 2020 20:11 (four years ago) link

wait there’s more

budo jeru, Monday, 23 March 2020 20:12 (four years ago) link

“lol”

budo jeru, Monday, 23 March 2020 20:12 (four years ago) link

What are you doing, those are not Beatels album

Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Monday, 23 March 2020 20:17 (four years ago) link

^^^ in case you needed more proof that The Beatles are the greatest band.

Of.

All.

Time.

hey we found someone who bought one of john's books of poetry!

I think it's a little too simplistic to call them the greatest band of all time. It's worth noting, for example, that they are the greatest band of all space, as well. Show me a band in the universe that is a better band and I'll tell you to shut the fuck up because you are wrong and should shut up.

Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Monday, 23 March 2020 20:26 (four years ago) link

I don't think anybody who thinks a better band has ever existed is wrong, I think they're obviously lying and pretending to like something else just to look cool and hard

listen you surfin hot ridin jock, stop frontin about yr dum beach party and admit these bugs got rhythm

budo jeru, Monday, 23 March 2020 20:41 (four years ago) link

is this about The Beatles because they are the greatest

an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 09:23 (four years ago) link

All these are great (I Remembered How to Fly and It's Actually Really Easy was an amazing comeback album) but Gary is ahead of its time. I think modern music is still trying to catch up with it. Also Jean-Paul was probably the greatest one-man songwriting team of our era, the best songwriter since Roger Hammerstein.

BLU SAPHIR, BUT WHY (Tom Violence), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 11:48 (four years ago) link

I'll never understand why they changed their name early on. Turd Wizard and the Futiliteens would've been even bigger superstars imo.

Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 12:50 (four years ago) link

Can't imagine this band without Anthony Braxton's son on vocals tbh.

Is this poll like one of those Beatles trick questions where if you don't publicly declare all of it is the greatest music ever you get waterboarded?

chr1sb3singer, Tuesday, 24 March 2020 13:57 (four years ago) link

It can't be a trick question if you clearly know the answer.

Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 14:06 (four years ago) link

Waterboarding's not that bad, and the magnanimous Beetle Gods know it.

coco vide (pomenitul), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 14:11 (four years ago) link

I feel like they summed up their stance pretty well in the hit single 'Torture Isn't Torture (If You Don't Torch Her)'.

Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 14:21 (four years ago) link

Their viewpoint is not my own but it's obvious to me that the Fabulous Foursome were very pro-'enhanced interrogation'.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
