not too dissimilar bands

i love the beatles but at the same time i'm sick of them

the beatles were much more influential but way more annoying

i never want to hear hey jude again

i have all their albums and only 5 fleetwood mac albums

tusk is as good as if not better than the white album, the best beatles album

rumours is on par with sgt. pepper

tango in the night and mirage are equal to rubber soul and revolver, given that revolver is ridiculously overrated

fleetwood mac self titled is better than the beatles' early albums

lennon and mccartney were a pretty dynamic duo but lindsey buckingham and stevie nicks can't be too far behind

overall fleetwood mac win

How about Milli Vanilli?

no comparison , imo
Beatles !

Dewrede said:

Yeah but milli vanilli had "blame it on the rain". If its ever raining, I can blame it on the rain. See, its a clever song.

But The Beatles had 'Rain'
(btw i wasn't comparing them to Milli Vanilli but to Fleetwood mack )

Dewrede said:

Oh yeah. I like that song. It was a b side I think?

I cant see many comparisons really, except "who do u prefer to listen to", in which case I say neither.

B-Side to Paperback Writer
How can you not like them ?!

i have no idea what u two are talking about

stop hijacking my thread!

and i'd like to hear someone say the beatles kick mac's ass just so i can flame them

but seriously, how can any fan of both prefer the beatles? stevie nicks alone should do it

Dewrede said:

Dont have time to listen to them.

Fleetwood Mac by far.

I much prefer Fleetwood Mac. I am more touched by their music.

VoicesCarry said:

Yeah but thesexofit is TOUCHED. But I don't think he can "Blame it on the rain"

RE: Mac/Beatles How can you compare the two? I guess you can compare anything. I can't.

anon said:

i dunno...

two bands that pumped out many a finely crafted pop song as well as having more subtle layers

two bands with multiple singer/songwriters for greater versatility than your average band

two bands that topped the charts around the world back in the day

two of my favourite bands

and finally, why not?

makes a change from prince v mj or elvis v the beatles, imo

also i like starting fleetwood mac threads

any excuse...

went out and bought Mirage the other day

tis one fine piece of work

can't get that Oh Diane song out of my head

and the Gypsy song is out of this world

i need more

anon said:

It's quite easy to compare the two, actually. I think kinaldo has done a good job listing some points of comparison.

And what does this have to do with thesexofit

or how about this songwriter contest instead...

Lennon/McCartney vs Buckingham/Nicks

anyone who argues for the latter in this case deserves a slap

four words...

i am the walrus!

VoicesCarry said:

Sure you can compare anything. And I get the comparisons. My point was that I personally can't make the call. I like them both for different reasons. Perhaps it was mis-read...not written clearly.

RE: Sex of it. I was responding to his silly reply.
now if you don't mind...let me pick on him in peace. thanks.

anon said:

Oh, I thought you were talking to me. Didn't realize it was to thesexofit.

But only I can pick on thesexofit. Well, along with lilgish.

VoicesCarry said:

I only responded to your post because you were touched by the music and noted that sexofit is touched as well...but in a slightly different kind of way.

ok...so you guys can have thesexofit. Who do I get to pick on?

anon said:

I love both bands,but I listen to Fleetwood Mac more often.Their 1975 self-titled album and 'Rumours' are always in my CD player

Fleetwood Mac....



Beatles are sooo soooo soooo sooo sooo overrated....

beatles= :thumbsdown:

Two of my fave bands. I listen to Fleetwood Mac more but if I had to choose I'd probably take The Beatles.

you've got to be kidding !

Dewrede said:

my opinion is mine to keep regardless of what yours is...thank you veddy much.....

of course , i just can't comprehend it
(can't edit)

I'd rather sleep with Stevie Nicks than the Beatles, if that helps...?


Hard to compare the two really, although no Beatles performance has ever stunned and amazed me like Buckingham's live version of Big Love - How can anyone play guitar that well? AND he sings it at the same time

The Beatles.

Not even, I the Gypsy, will touch this subject. Apples and Oranges...

^^ good call.
