Look out for Yellow Matter Custard: in my opinion the best Beatles-coverband. And it has an interesting line-up:

Neal Morse: vocals, keyboards, guitars
Greg Bissonette: bass guitar
Paul Gilbert: vocals, guitar
Mike Portnoy: drums

They do a tremendous version of the Abbey Road Medley....Check them out.

An obvious choice would be the Aerosmith version of Come Together.

And what evidence do you have to prove otherwise? At least saying that Coldplay and Oasis are better than most bands on BEA is substantiated with their overwhelming presence on charts. I don't even like either of those bands, but the way you pick those two bands out of nowhere just shows that you're using your own bias the same way Frogger was, but you don't even have anything to back it with other than your taste!

I actually enjoy both Coldplay and Oasis, but know many people in particular hate them, so why not use a convincing argument against people who obviously think that just because one band is higher than another, it means they are better - at the time of writing the statement, this was my thinking. I much preferred Frogger's re - wording to "general belief" because it's true, but previously what he said was ignorant.

Had he said "general belief" from the beginning, then there'd be no argument, but he originally stated it was an "established fact". Now, I don't hold this over him because he admitted he was incorrect. It's fine because we all make ignorant statements from time to time.

Some Styx albums may be pretty good, but they don't get listened to because people are busy listening to suggestions from other people. I might listen to a Styx album soon, just to see what it's like. I'm sure there will be a couple of bad songs.

I just used "established fact" becasue that's what you said before, but what I probably should have said is "general belief" or something along the lines of that.

But seriously, one band is 1, one is 399, I think most people agree that one is better than the other.

Don't want to dispute that because they are number 1 on Bea, I just feel very content right now and rather reply to the ignorant part of your statement with humor than anger, which can be located here:

Well, bands aren't judged on BEA by band ratings. They're judged by the amount of points their albums get from charts. It all depends on how many charts their albums are on. Even then, the Beatles albums won't always be the highest-rated albums on the charts. Of course, 95% of the time they are.

Now on a side note, Journey was a bad band with their first few albums, but Escape was a good album. Not fantastic, but a good album. I can't call them a great band, but I'll never get why so many prople here dislike them.

I don't get the hate for styx myself. Sure I dislike maybe their whole 80's disography and not a big fan of what they did in the late 70's, but to me all these arena rock bands sound close enough to each that I really don't get the hate for certain ones (e.g Styx, Journey, etc.) and the love for others (e.g Queen, Kiss, etc.). i think they're all just fairly average overall.

As far as the beatles go, sure there are plenty of songs I love by them (my favorite being Here comes the sun), but there's something to them I dislike, some air to them I just can seem to pass through to understand the massive love they get, something around their music, but I don't hang myself up about these types of things.

And to be honest, let's assume you're correct and it was an established fact that Styx are leagues below the beatles (which is as subjective as anything), then still, it's not like I'm claiming that Styx are better than them in any category (and I would not like to expand my views of this argument here), I just prefer the sound of Styx's cover version over The Beatles original, sure the beatles might be "leagues better", but that doesn't stop someone's ears from preferring one version over the other.

I don't think they sound similar at all. Well maybe some. But Queen and KISS? Queen is far more experimental. KISS is very simple, straight forward rock. And you're right, we're all entitled to our own opinions. I just find your opinion to be shocking 😜

IMO, the Beatles are better than Styx. But I don't understand any hate toward Styx or Journey, either. I know the bands aren't anywhere near as good as bands like Beatles and Zep, but that doesn't mean they didn't have a few good songs. Take a look at Come Sail Away. That song's so good Cartnan covered it! 😁

On an unrelated note, how do you feel about Tame Impala? I can hear a lot of similarities between their lead singer and John Lennon.

To be fair, I couldn't answer this without being incorrect with my opinion, I've only listened to Lonerism and wasn't a huge of it, but I don't dislike it (just like a few beatles albums made later in their career). So, I thought Lonerism was alright, but on par with a lot of the beatles' later work.

Lol, I think it was already an established fact I didn't enjoy the beatles so how is your perception of me broken? Not too keen on Styx either though, I just really dislike the vocals on the beatles version of I am the walrus.
