Of course, you can't discount the possibility that the Beatles success is due to selling their souls to satan.

Beatle Lyrics
The folling are lyrics that seem inocent enough at first glance, but when you take a closer look with wisdon, you begin to see the true meaning.


Hey Jude.
"Hey Jude, don't make it bad take a sad song and make it better. The minute you put it under your skin, then you begin to feel better".

What does one put under their skin to make them feel better?
How about a needle full of heroin. It is bad enough to do heroin but to then promote it to the youth is absolutely evil. It is by the way common knowledge that the Beatles were all heroin adicts.


Strawberry Fields Forever
When people shoot drugs, the needles leave marks on the arms. Drug adicts call these red marks "strawberry feilds" In this song John Lennon is expressing his desire to always shoot drugs into his body.
This song sounds like a drug induced experience and was written while Mr. Lennon was high on heroin.


You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
"Here I stand, head in hand turned my face to the wall"
This song is obviously about masturbation, which is a sin


Revolution 9.
In this song the meaning is cleverly concealed, in fact you cannot hear the secret message unless you play the record backward on a special player. When tured backwards you can hear the words "turn me on dead man, turn me on dead man", this was done to secretly express the fact that John Lennon was, in secret, a homosexual necrofeeliac, a ritual that has been performed for centuries by African Satanic organizations.


It Won't Be Long
"It won't be long 'till i can be with you"
It dosn't take long into this song before you figure out that The Beatles are waiting to be called home by Satan.


Little Child
"Little child, little child, little child won't you dance with me"
Need more be said?


You Really Got A Hold On Me
Another self explanitory title, of course Satan has a hold on you idiots.


Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
The Initials for this song are L.S.D., a drug. The song is about an LSD trip that McCartney had


Yellow Submarine
"We all live in a yellow submarine"
During the period when this song was written, the Beatles were taking LSD in the form of a yellow capsule.

that might be the understatement of the year. I cant explain why, but there is something more special about the Beatles songs that set them apart.

Didnt the Sex pistols kick off the whole Manchester thing?
The pistols kicked it off for Tony Wilson…but I think the manc thing would've happened regardless.

As for Nirvana, a totally shit band with a pretty blue eyed/blond singer who happened to be in the right place……not a fan, but Pearl Jam have more talent in their little toes than that pile of shit called Nirvana.

Top 5 Brit bands…hmmmmm

no order,

Clash
Smiths
Kinks
Pogues
Beatles

I can't stand Pink Floyd. At all, and because of that I can't comment on their merit (so will never bother), as I just have no idea. I don't like 'em, but they may be important. Number one? Seems a stretch.

Each to their own opinion…BUT…of all the great, great bands that tiny little island has produced, anyone who says Radiohead is one of the greatest is absolutely fucking, without question, totally, completely off their heads. You may as well add another flavor of the week up there too…Duran Duran. :roll:

I would put Oasis waaaaaay above Radiohead on any list…and I wouldn't put them in the top 50.

Thats harsh……

Perhaps Mank, that Radiohead is to some generations what joy division was to yours. Imagine how much better radiohead would be regarded if Tom Yorkie had died after their third album?

My God at that point they could have become the greatest band ever, there was so much potential. Its a shame he didnt die. Much as its a shame poor old Ian did, but he might have sullied his good record too, if he had not.

I don't mind Oasis being from England…I just wish they were from London or somewhere…but then they'd be total shite I suppose.

Radiohead are Englands Nirvana…terribly over-rated and over-hyped by a few fanatical fans.

So what "movement" are Radiohead responsible for?

The only movement Joy Division ever caused was my movement into the next room when they are playing. That dead turd sang like a monotone drunk.

I wonder how you would describe Lou Reed's singing, or Joe strummer/ Mick Jones? If you like singers so much why dont you just listen to Mariah Carey, or Christina Aguilera, or Celine Dion. they are all much better singers than any anyone I have in my collection.

What movement did Joy Division begin, Mankie?

Let me give credit to my wife for pointing out how awful a singer he was. I haven't listened to any JD for a good ten years, but we heard "Love Will Tear Us Apart" on the radio the other day, and me explaining who it was, she made the astute point that his voice was awful and he sounds like a drunk.

I dont know about that Mankie…..

Personally I think New Order did the better job of being an influence with the rock/dance crossed sound. How about a compromise with Bernie Sumner?

Were did New Order come from?? But your point is a good one. I guess Joy Division was getting played in the manc clubs more than anywhere else which is why I think of them before New Order

Bernie it is then.

I would describe Lou Reed's singing as utter rubbish. Unlistenable in my opinion. Though I do have his New York album, and the fast songs are decent due to the nice guitar work and lyrical wordplay.

Mick Jones/Joe Strummer's voices fit the music they played just fine, but by no stretch were their voices ear pleasing, or even all that interesting.

I don't like the music styles that the other artists that you mention do, so why should I listen to them?

One of the great things about being married to someone who is not a total music-head who has good taste is that she can give me an honest opinion based on her own taste and not biased by what some dumbass rock music historian has told her she's supposed to like, because it's "important".
