And the Sex Pistols could see, although listening to their musicianship that could be in doubt.
If you're complaining about the SP's musical ability you've sort of missed the point

Comparing the BB and the Beatles is like comparing Andrea Bocelli and the sex pistols. 2 completely different music styles. I prefer the BB to the Beatles but that’s just personal taste.
So you're telling me there's not a valid comparison to be made but if you personally were to compare them you prefer the Beach Boys?
The Beatles didn't sound like the Stones, the Kinks, the BB's or anyone else tbh because after the first 3 albums the next 4 or 5 sounded completely different to one another ... the ramping up from rubber soul > revolver > Sgt Pepper is said the be the greatest progression in popular music. I think during that time the BB's only released Pet Sounds. You're right it doesn't sound like any of the Beatles record from round then. Am certainly not an expert on them but I don't think they altered their style too much if at all during the rest of the 60s? Not sure like, happy to be corrected on that.. suffice to say BB's and Beatles were very complimentary about each others' work..they and the others were definitely musical rivals..,

Oh I'm not sure. As tremendous players as they were, HBA in 5th and Waddle in 4th are definitely up for debate
Top 3 surely has to be Beardsley, Gascoigne and Ginola in no particular order.I'd have Waddle in for Ginola tbh...he was here 5 years and actually achieved something in his time at the club, Ginola was here 2 years and spent half of that time in the huff because Keegan wouldn't let him go to Barca 😑

Using “God Only Knows” as the example, I think it’s because1- He did it first
2- Used/invented studio techniques to get multi-layered harmonies that were groundbreaking, at the time.
3- wasn’t his cunt cousin, Mike Love.
Like a lot of music from that era, people have become, perhaps not blasé about it, but have heard it so much they’re used to it.
Everthing that followed it using the same, or improved, techniques probably also now falls into that category, so the uniqueness of his talent has become dulled with time.
I absolutely love some Beach Boys tracks, unbelievable sound and vibe.I seem to remember reading that Brian Wilson spent hours listening to Sgt Pepper because it had massively outsold Pet Sounds and he was trying to work out why. If I compare them (and SPLHCB is nowhere near my favourite Beatles album) I like Sgt Pepper a lot more; I like the sort of mixture of psychedelia & old time music hall it has. Pet Sounds figuratively and literally sounds like it comes from a different culture; I think I was an adult when I first listened to it but the Beatles were still fuckin everywhere through my childhood in spite of splitting up around the time I was born... BBs just leave me a bit cold...

Brian Wilson being described as literally a genius by people with very good qualifications to be able to make that judgement..lots citing "God only knows" as the greatest song ever written....so it is just me then that doesn't really get Wilson or the Beach Boys? I hear good songs and nice harmonies but I also got that from the Brotherhood of Man
RIP Brian, you had the same name as our coalman 🙂

He might want to be no.1 somewhere but if there's something in this the champions league might swing it...24, last year of contact, knows the league and is Brazilian so you'd imagine settling in might be fairly easy...it all makes sense, he's at least as good as peak Wilson...

Mate of mine was in Weardale Mountain Rescue Team at the time, they were asked to assist with searching in Kielder Forest for debris and remains.
His teammate found a trainer with its “contents”still in it.
Said it was the most depressing thing he’s ever done- lots of luggage and clothing recovered.Ugh, that must be a horrible task. I was walking across road near the shop in our village that night and my old man pulled up in the car. He wound down the window and said "there's a plane come down on the petrol station at Lockerbie, must be an RAF jet".... A fairly sombre Christmas day & new year I seem to remember. Seemed wrong to celebrate as usual.
There were dozens of "amateur souvenir hunters" who all got 6 months at Jedburgh Sheriff Court. Fuckin ghouls. Some kids me and my brother knew from being at Gala Tech were among them. We were all 18/19 and had not long since passed our tests and so were most of those wandering the hills all along the border. My old man made it perfectly clear what he'd do to us if we got caught up on any of that nonsense...

Just to point out that the transfer window will be closed between 10-16 June for its annual holiday. Having a week in Benners with his brother "January window" and their Dad "March transfer deadline day so you cant buy 6 players after the FA Cup 5th round and end up basically buying the cup you cheating bastards"

Something to do with the temporal lobe apparently if I have it at all? I've an MRI in two weeks but the doctor said they might not find anything at all so I don't know what they do in that circumstance other than put it down to my extraordinary mental faculties and count it as a heavenly blessing.
Naa... You'll definitely have to have it because I've bought the domain www.daveythewalkervillewizard.com in preparation for the live show to follow, it'll be a bit like a male Mystic Meg playing the clerbs, you'll be dressed like Gandalf and basically doing Derek Achorah's act with a football quiz & bingo thrown in. Contract being finalized today, it'll be emailed out to you for signing tomorrow 👍

Sounds like Umbongo's agent is hawking the twat around for £150-£200k a week... no one at Newcastle can get that until Isak does

Howe chooses his words wisely, and the fact he publicly told the club they needed to do their business quickly is telling.
Who knows how serious our interest was in Jonathan David, Joan Garcia, Liam Delap, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo, but every one of them has consistently been linked with us, and every one of them has agreed to go to a club that isn't NUFC within 2 days of the window opening. We are kidding ourselves if we think Howe isn't fizzing
If Howe is fizzing then the silly fucker needs to stop losing his Technical Directors at an alarming rate
If that comment was aimed squarely at Mitchell then Mitchell puts his notice in a few days later then he's definitely partly to blame if this window doesn't end up being as transformative as it needs to be...

good work, if you can get itYeah am quite enjoying my new role identifying Gemmill's burner accounts. This one's a fuckin doozy, he's cosplaying yanky female data nerd with a pic of Damon Alban in a poxy Chelsea shirt from the 90s. He's hypothesizing that man utd are about to walk into one of the most common mistakes in football recruitment...they're basically buying the two outstanding players from last season but they're both anomalies; nothing in their history suggests they'll do it again...
https://x.com/stuffsabsays/status/1929638965273154035?t=TFHbEkmArazJKiLBVc5p5g&s=19
So let's move on. Man Utd fans told us Ashworth, Wilcox and the drugs cheat were guaranteed to move them forward and that Yoro was a young Beckenbauer etc etc...if PiF finance this by buying their Bruno (he's absolutely key to them) and they remain in the bottom half of the table it's going to be even funnier than this season, the wages they must be offering will be even more crippling. This could properly finish them....

What clubs that are like arsenal, us and Spurs were interested? It's not a great clue, why doesn't he just say who they were?
Yeah it’s vague as fuck. Maybe Edwards and Hope etc who were reporting we were starting talks last week got that from his age and Ornstein got this from his agent too…? 🤷🏻♂️-

Fair enough, but musical virtuosity was the opposite of what it was about. It was more "any fucker can do this, not just those cunts in Genesis'..
