Overrated, just like The Beatles themselves.

Oh, Gerrit, that's just wrong on so many levels. Tut tut tut.

Paint it Black is my favourite Stones tune, but

Sympathy for the Devil is the Greatest Song ever.

The Times They Are A-Changin' by Bob Dylan

Never got into the Beatles, sorry ! My dad is a huge fan and jammed their discography through my throat during my youth... I never got the excitement about their music.

My fav band is from the same city though: the magical ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN

I can never get over the irony of writing a song called 'I'll be missing you' about a guy who was multiply plugged with a gun. He wasn't being missed that day

Fools Gold - The Stone Roses.... Just perfect - captured the moment of it's release like no other song imo.

Impossible question
Ordinarily I'd agree with you, but I'm having a Nick Cave week, so I'm gonna say The Mercy Seat.

He was rather large. It'd be hard to miss him.

She's Lost Control - Joy Division.

Though sligoman's choice of "Everybody Hurts" runs very close!

**Thomo** · 17/07/2005, 11:13 PM

the hurricane - bob dylan

Atmosphere by Joy Division is sadly overlooked in these instances....

In My Life - The Beatles.
Changes with the weather though in fairness.

I would have thought that it would rank amongst the lowest moments ever.

I mean, rap has some (few) songs to offer this thread, The Message, White Lines, Don't Believe the Hype etc., but that Puff Diddy song is an embarrassment.

Hear Hear

The Message by Nas ? Yeah that was a great song, that time (mid 1990s) was the high water mark of Rap IMO, since then its been a long way downhill.
