I was just kidding, you all know I actually like the Magic Band more. (That's some "hipster crap" for you.)

Seriously, though, most of The Beatles' discography gets really boring after a while, but the VU's unique style remains interesting and exciting. The VU knew how to make unforgettable songs and the experience of listening to their first two albums has rarely been matched. That's my opinion though, you may just think the VU are more boring.

I like the Magic Band more than VU. I don't think VU were much talented when it comes to songwriting, they have made decent music, but it's much more forgettable than The Beatles. And their music sounds way more samey than The Beatles, so yeah, I think they're more boring. I don't hate them, but it doesn't make any sense to me that they should be better than The Beatles!

I like the sentiment. of what you're saying.

Agree but I doubt it. Asking for closure and for it to rest in peace is tempting fate. There will likely be sequel after sequel after sequel of this thing, one of which would inexplicably be in space.

I have no intention of getting into this argument again, but implying someone is attempting to be hip or cool or alternative for holding an opinion on something that is - and this is the last time I'm going to say this - entirely fucking subjective is actually offensive to me. People aren't being obtuse or stupid just because they say they don't like The Beatles, or that they like another band more. It's just a matter of opinion.

I completely agree with you have to say. I suppose the wording of my last post was a bit odd, in that I meant to say I hope that both will agree with you that it is all subjective. Rather than not budging and thinking theirs is the objective greatest band of all time, thus creating another "unwinnable argument" with you as well as each other.

Led Zeppelin sucks, The Beatles suck, Velvet Underground sucks, Jimi Hendrix sucks, Pink Floyd is gross. Boom, roasted.

Similarly, saying that The Beatles > The VU isn't showing any "deeper musical insight". There is no right answer, it's a subjective judgement. I think The Beatles are better than The VU (marginally), but I don't believe people who think the opposite are spouting "hipster crap". They just have a different, albeit equally valid, opinion.

I do not base my music taste on whether the artist is mainstream or not. I used to like VU but now I don't.

The Velvet Underground are actually the greatest, and there are even more points to say they are, and it's a shame people don't have the ear to recognise that. For starters, they had more masterpiece albums in their discography than The Beatles even though The Beatles released three times more albums.

The Beatles have somewhere between 5 and 8 masterpieces. VU have none! Cut out the hipster crap! Saying that Vu>The Beatles isn't showing a deeper musical insight!
