ILSnwdog Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 QUOTE (ReRushed @ Sep 12 2011, 09:53 AM) QUOTE (Kenneth @ Sep 12 2011, 10:39 AM) QUOTE (ReRushed @ Sep 12 2011, 07:08 AM) Yeah, one could state that with no Beatles there would be no Yes, go ahead, ask Jon Anderson. But it doesn't matter. Obviously, I'm choosing The Beatles. And one more thing, The Beatles weren't innovators because of circumstance. That's just silly, like this poll. It is, but I'm calling on external thoughts to intensify this on-going debate I'm having about this. If it's a question of musicianship and virtuosity, it's Yes, they play their respective instruments better. "Close to the Edge" is one of my favorite songs of all-time, but the Abbey Road medley suggests the Beatles could compose and arrange an extended complicated piece of music. Sure, they did it with scrapes of unfinished shorter songs, but it's at least evidence that if they focused they could do it. If anything, the Abbey Road medley was a stepping stone/inspiration towards the prog epics of the 1970s. Directly or indirectly. The Beatles pretty much never creatively repeated themselves, as far as albums go. You can't say that about Yes. But, it's all apples and oranges. What next? King Crimson vs. The Rolling Stones? Or how about The Bangels VS Steeley Dan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Too hard to decide - we're seriously talkin' apples and oranges here. Both brilliant. Meh, I guess I'll go for The Beatles just for them being so groundbreaking and important, but in reality I love both groups ridiculously...
