Beatles are called Fab Four because there were 4 of them and they was Fab...... is called that because they are legendary, Canadian, and a power trio....

PuppetKing2112 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I dont know... I love the Beatles and everything (except Sgt. Peppers... ) but the thing is I'm just so f***ing sick of seeing them top EVERY list ofbest band/album/song/whatever. They were a great band but were they really the #1 BEST at EVERYTHING THEY EVER DID? I think not. That said, Abbey Road is one of my 10 or 15 favourite albums of all time. I just connect so much more with Rush's music than with the Beatles'. But it's all opinion I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love both bands to death but I think the difference between the two is the Beatles are tops and more celebrated for innovation (especially in the studio) and influence but are far more superior in terms of actual talent. I love both bands and really to say one is greater than the other is pointless considering the times they were in and circumstances of their careers.

Tom Sawyer Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 http://img119.exs.cx/img119/6469/musician746iy.gifhttp://img119.exs.cx/img119/9165/musician754mu.gifhttp://img119.exs.cx/img119/959/musician762rn.gifhttp://img119.exs.cx/img119/969/musician774pf.gif I choose not to decide, but I still have made a choice. But I listen to FAR more these days than any one else, and Pink Floyd and Yes are tied for second place. I have everything they both recorded, as well as Pink Floyd and Yes !

GhostGirl Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I went through a Beatles stage when I was a teenager...spent hours analyzing the cover of Sgt. Pepper for hidden messages. But now...Rush is first, then in a constantly revolving second place: Floyd, Yes, U2...then various other bands come after that. I rarely listen to the Beatles any more.

Indica Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Why even try to compare two totally different bands in two different eras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quigley_Moog Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Rush takes the cake because they write more difficult (thus more satisfying songs) plus they are better at their respective instruments. Especially in the drum dept. But I really must ask, do the Beatles even get a fair shot at winning over Rush at a RUSH FORUM? Kind of silly, but an entertaining argument nonetheless.

Couldn't agree more Indica, you just can't compare the 2, both totally different bands, different eras. Rush are much more talented musicians but there would not be half of the great music and bands today if it weren't for The Beatles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need to rethink your system. But yeah, Rush's MUSICIANS are infinitely more talented than the Beatles...for what that's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
