Green Day Vs. The Beatles

[gd86arg]

Have you ever listened to Green Day?

Have you ever listened to The Beatles?

yes? ok, now tell us how the hell you can compare them.

agree

[BIBARAGURORIA]

I knew I liked you for a reason.

[gdpony]

you just cant compare them ... period.

[gloria.closetotheedge]

Without the Beatles, Green Day wouldn't even exist. That's a fact, just face it.

That's so clear and simple to see, I'm really surprised someone can even think of comparin' em. It just seems stupid to me, you know, ike comparin' a chicken to a egg. What's better? yeah, tell me.

[Katarina.]

I laughed at "The difinitave poll". As if you could decide who's better on a forum like GDC. Idk who's better, I don't like that word. Personally I prefer Green Day, but yeah, that's me. Everyone thinks differently about who's 'better'.

[Izzard]

I just like Green Day better. Whatever people can try to be all cool and say the beetles, but fuck that, I love Green Day.

Beatles were kind of... bland when it came to music.

It's comments like these that make me wonder how much of The Beatles' music you guys have actually heard. Are you only listening to their early records or something? Because that's the only way I can figure out how someone can be incapable of recognizing their songwriting skills. Even if you're not impressed by any particular song, you should at least be able to acknowledge the incredible range of musical styles they're able to span with their songs. Saying that they're only considered "pop" is the most misguided thing I've ever heard said about The Beatles. Seriously, what have you actually heard?

Take a song like "Please Please Me" and compare it to "Helter Skelter", or "Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite". Or even songs off the same album, like the white album--they range from blues to soft rock to ballad to heavy metal to sitar experimental.

Please, before you make such heavy-handed criticisms of a band, educate yourself. Listen to a significant portion of their catalogue. Otherwise, you just look like an idiot.

the bealtes were the largest concentratoin of musical charisma in history.

Musical charisma? What the fuck are you talking about?

Or some people just aren't beetles fans and you need to except that.

[watsername182]

Umm, what's with people digging up all these old threads recently?

I love Green Day and I respect The Beatles. You can't really compare the two.

[darenmay]

of course the beatles is a bigger band. or biggest ever.

but i like green day better. i love their music more than beatles's.

[ParadoxAndPlaid]

Why does this thread exist? really?

[Izzard]

I think the beetles wrote amazing songs, but I can't listen to them because their voices really get to me...I like the way the people in across the universe sing them better...

[Mrs.Kerplunk]

what the hell.

[Izzard]

and I think this thread has some small significance.... I mean lots of people seem to be comparing these too bands since the news of Green Day Rock band. but I don't know..... it doesn't really need its own thread.

[SexyBIbiatch]

I like the beatles, but the emotions that Green Day brings to me cannot compare.

Maybe I'm from the new era or Idk to apreciate or whatever, Green Day has deep lyricals songs too, they are newer but who the fuck cares.

[Icarus]

Waaaaaaay to different bands to compare,

i like Beatles a lot, but i love Green Day to Death

The only thing i can say is

Green Day is like one of the most unrated bands ever, in terms

of music and songwriting

and the Beatles seem somewhat overrated to me

anyways Paul Mcartney and Billie Joe Armstrong

are probably my two favorite songwriters ever.

[thisguy3496]

Why would you start a thread like this on this site?

[dangreenday]

GREEN DAY

[spark in the night]

who bumps this? lol

and I totally ripped that kid on the first page lol

[Dai.]

This thread is pretty useless. They are two completely different bands.
