John Lennon, for the "A Hard Day's Night" album alone.

Although McCartney was the real genius during the later part of The Beatles' career. :-)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Thursday, 28 August 2003 19:34 (twenty-two years ago)

A hard day's night was an awesome film (i'm only 14 and i know quite a lot about music :)

― Caitlin O'Neil (kurdtkobain205), Thursday, 28 August 2003 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

>(i'm only 14 and i know quite a lot about music :)

Clearly not; after all, you like Nirvana.

― Phil Freeman (Phil Freeman), Thursday, 28 August 2003 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

They both had a direct, emotionally affecting style that spoke powerfully to a lot of listeners. The length of Lennon's career may tip the scales in his favor.

But who's cuter?

― Caitlin O'Neil (kurdtkobain205), Thursday, 28 August 2003 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Both dead.

Yay, Geir's back.

caitlin, i didn't want to be the first to tell you this, but as far as musical knowledge goes, you're out of your league. this doesnt mean that your taste is inferior. it's your taste after all, and more power to you for standing up for what you love, but some of these guys know how many people were at robert fripp's 4th birthday party.

― Felcher (Felcher), Thursday, 28 August 2003 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Kurt Cobain vs John Lennon. The winner? The fans BECAUSE GEIR'S BACK.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 28 August 2003 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

There's nothing wrong with Nirvana being your favorite band at 14 or any age. Sheesh.

people these days... :-\ i'm just trying to make a nice little conversation by askign which one is better Kurt Cobain or John Lennon i don't need to hear this shit abut Nirvana overrated or they're dead or i have bad taste in music jesus fucking christ

― Caitlin O'Neil (kurdtkobain205), Thursday, 28 August 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

The answer is Jesus Christ.

Geir Kobain vs Kurt Lennon. The winner is?

Did you got their latest single? It's called "Blitzkrieg Roundabout".

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Thursday, 28 August 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

that's "get", of course

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Thursday, 28 August 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Caitlin....there's nothing inherently wrong with having a favorite band. Lord knows I have one. But, by the same token, you don't hear me going around telling people that Killing Joke invented the wheel (though a little known fact is that they built the first airplane and perfected the steam engine,...but I digress). Nirvana were a fine little band, but to assert that they're "the best band in the world" is to make a statement that is positively BEGGING for furiously nasty rebuttal.

Secondly, I beg of you: DON't become one of those tragic graveside groupies, perpetually eulogizing a sad little man who took his own life, selfishly leaving a wife and child behind. If you do have any respect for the man, you should realize that he's probably shuddering somehwere in abject repulsion at the thought of leagues of zombified zealots holding him up like some sort've deity.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 28 August 2003 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't worry about it, Alex. In a year she'll probably be worshipping Ian Curtis instead.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Thursday, 28 August 2003 20:05 (twenty-two years ago)

ok i'm wrong you're right...after all, that's what you want me to say isn't it? i'll just shutup about Nirvana. Just wanted to talk with other nirvana fands thats all...ah well goodbye then

― Caitlin O'Neil (kurdtkobain205), Thursday, 28 August 2003 20:07 (twenty-two years ago)

You're going to have to learn to hear dissenting points of view if you're going to take part in any semblance of a forum, Caitlin.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 28 August 2003 20:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, she's fourteen, dude! That's like, dude, what 14 y/o's are supposed to do, dude. I mean, duuude, come on, dude.

― Caitlin O'Neil (kurdtkobain205), Thursday, 28 August 2003 20:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Caitlin O'Neil, do you like the Strokes?

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Thursday, 28 August 2003 20:36 (twenty-two years ago)

So, are we supposed to make exceptions and keep our opinions to ourselves simply because you're 14???

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 28 August 2003 20:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes i used to like the strokes until i found Nirvana

― Caitlin O'Neil (kurdtkobain205), Thursday, 28 August 2003 20:39 (twenty-two years ago)

and no alex say whatever you want but u could be a tiny bit nicer perhaps? nirvana means a lot to me as you already know...i don't like hearing stuff like this...

Dom if I only saw that picture from the neck up, i would assume by the hairstyle that it was a soccer player. i dont know who that is.

You're the one that threw in the "fuck you," m'dear, not me.

nirvana means a lot to me as you already know...

Yes, I believe that's been well established by now.

i don't like hearing stuff like this...

Caitlin, think of it as a way of fortifying your resolve. Not everyone is going to agree with you when you make certain statements. Instead of clamping your hands on your ears, let different opinions filter your impressions. For example, if someone says "Nirvana sucks a big bag of dicks," find out what THEY like and judge for yourself. There were a lot of vaccuous whistleheads here who took potshots at bands I love, but when I dug a little deeper and discovered that those spiteful individuals were fans of indefensibly insipid pabulum like, say, Destiny's Child, Shania Twain and Good Charlotte, I realized: "Hey, if they're willing to smear the sonic dung that is Beyonce Knowle's artless bleating all over their ears, what the fuck do THEY know in the first place?"

Like what you like and defend it accordingly, but don't expect everyone else to agree with you or understand why you feel the way you do about it.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 28 August 2003 20:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll probably get a "fuck you" for this as well, but Caitlin, you might do well to develop your ability to handle folks with different musical opinions than yours. -- if they're being obnoxious or just baiting you, learn to dismiss/ignore them. If they're speaking from a different perspective (eg: someone who doesn't like rock music at all, for instance), perhaps you can learn something from them, even if only how other people think about particular music that you're into.

This from a man who has six Yoko Ono CDs and speaks with the voice of experience.

(x-post with Alex -- we agree about a lot of things, I've noticed).

I really don't get the recurring Ivan Campo references.

Courtney killed John Lennon.

In a way though, it is a happy ending for Ivan Campo. I mean, he had a nervous breakdown in Spain, only really finding true happiness and his calling in the UK. It's quite beautiful.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 28 August 2003 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

dom- are you having a nervous breakdown?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 28 August 2003 21:44 (twenty-two years ago)

No, but Ivan Campo said he himself had a nervous breakdown following excessive taunting from Spanish football fans, especially after his notorious blunder against Las Palmas cost Real a match there.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 28 August 2003 21:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Not as good as Ivan Campo, though.

This thread has hit happiness saturation, we must return immediately to telling the 14 year old girl about how to debate on the internet and then having another person say NO WAY SHE ROCKS and then start over again, over and over until the end of time.

If you see me in a Bentley then you know I'm wearin' Fendi
Poppin' out with a cup of drank
And green weed, we call it dank
Hoppin' out every car you wish you had
Benzos, Expeditions, Navigators, even Jags
How you like me now?
'Cause you know I'm iced out
When I take my watch off they say, Who cut the lights out?

Incidentally, does anyone else get creeped out at that "Light Your Ass on Fire" song? I don't know why, but it makes me think ol' Busta's got a case of the gonorrhea.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Thursday, 28 August 2003 22:58 (twenty-two years ago)

but how's he gonna honor the fire, then?

― hstencil, Thursday, 28 August 2003 23:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex's a big boy, he can travel to Iceland all by himself. There, he'll find what he's looking for. The honour and the fire, and what not.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Thursday, 28 August 2003 23:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Indeed, Alex is much like Bono in that he still hasn't found what he's looking for.

― hstencil, Thursday, 28 August 2003 23:13 (twenty-two years ago)

And who woulda thunk it could come down to this? Hstencil and me, together - well, almost, not quite - dishonouring the fire, as it might appear?

*scurries away, afeared pissless, to order custom-made diamond-studded lighter for Alex in NYC*

*ignores - almost, but not quite - hstencil shouting 'chickenshit!' behind his back*

*changes course shortly, goes and orders a fire extinguisher instead*
