The Beatles vs The Stones
when I was a kid growing up in OZ this was the biggest question on everybody's lips.....you were either a stones fan or a beatles fan...so which one were you or have you discovered since (for the younger BMs)
For me it was the Beatles at first as my parents bought me the albums....and I can still remember the first time I heard "Love me Do" on a radio on Manly Beach after just getting out of the surf and drinking a vanilla milkshake.....guess I was probably about 10 or so....strange how some memories stick with you...555
Took me a little while longer to appreciate the Stones as they were more rocky and were aimed at an older audience.....but once I did there was no going back to the Beatles....
If I ever did a complilation rock CD (not a big rock fan these days) I would definitley have "Painted Black" + "she's like a Rainbow" on it.....too bad they have become a parody of their former selves....but not yet as bad as (the footage of) Led Zepellin which I saw on the news last night.....they were truly awfull
