And Johnny Marr is Ivor Perry?

Johnny Marr is just a guitarist.

With the greatest level of respect, you are INSANE.
And you don't mean what you say. You know he composed the music, CG!
The Smiths tried to continue Marr-less and failed. Even Moz said "the marriage was perfect."
I really like you, but you waffle between the voice of reason to nutter with a lot of middle ground...I'll admit that.
Robin Williams was BP (I always knew this, always, clearly manic.) - God rest his soul.
Are you also BP? And if so, would you admit it?

I'm not British Petroleum. I'm the world's petroleum untapped. Don't frack with me.

Johnny Marr is a talented musician. Did Morrissey ever SING his songs?

The Beatles took turns singing all four of their compositions. Morrissey sang only his words. Johnny's LUX VOX was never entertained, only Morrissey's. The Smiths is Morrissey accompanied by very clever music inspired by a very talented musician, but The Smiths is Morrissey.

Bipolar, CG?

By the way, everyone disagrees with you. Then, you say RB puts her foot in mouth. And you never do? You two have a lot in common.

As evidenced by one anonymous comment? :straightface: It's called an opinion, I didn't say it was THE WAY IT IS. :rolleyes:

I seriously doubt that, Sergio. Beastie Boys even made Rolling Stone's top 100 bands of all time...

Ghoul had the second post after J. Fairplay. Very good. He then did a delete (not an edit) because he had 40.
If he had not put Beastie Boys on, I don't think people would be putting them on as much.

Respectfully,

Sergio (a.k.a "Seth")

Whu...HUH? I'm shocked that everyone hasn't put the Beasties on their list, because they are f***ing awesome. They're in my top 5 all-time favorite groups for sure.

I love the Beastie Boys. I could probably list them in a top 40, actually. I was devastated when MCA died. He was my favorite, no disrespect to the other two!

No disrespect to the Beatles at all, believe me! I had to narrow it down, though, and I've always been more of a fan of John's solo work (& with Yoko). I like the Beatles very much. Really! :)

FWIW, I like Sean Lennon a lot, too. The stuff he's been doing with Ghost of a Sabre Tooth Tiger is excellent.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Sean Lennon’s latest project. I’ll have to check it out. My brother actually doesn’t like the Beatles at all really but likes John Lennon’s solo stuff. He even covered a John Lennon song for this Wes Anderson tribute comp that came out earlier this year:
