I like The Beatles, but they didn't have enough musical theory to be perfectly analogous to Da Vinci, who totally knew what he was doing and didn't operate by throwing poo poo at the wall and seeing what sticks.

I don't think music theory is a good front to challenge The Beatles, they use some really interesting chords and changes that should sound challenging, but somehow fit perfectly. Julia sounds beautiful, but it's some weird stuff chord-wise to be doing in popular music at all.

Heath posted:do you also dismiss the entire catalog of a very well respected and influential band because they played Hard Day's Night on the store radio in Target once and you didn't like it because you were in a bad mood from your mom refusing to buy you the new expansion for pokemon cards because that's literally every beatles disliker. that's you. This is true, and I know because I was this guy once. Then I grew the gently caress up and listened to Rubber Soul and understood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrM6sLx_DXo e: Bunch of Mark David Chapmans in here.

John Lennon was a wife beating piece of poo poo. But then David Bowie was a child molestor and he's a musical hero, it's kind of weird how they get picked. I like that "come together" song and all the rest of the material they shamelessly stole from other artists.

Right, they were just more about feeling their way through the process of making art while Da Vinci was about technical mastery (which does admittedly encapsulate more than musical theory knowledge when it comes to music).

blackstreet's "no diggity" is the greatest musical achievement of the 20th century, a musical mona lisa if you will, and the beatles had NOTHING to do with it.

I dunno When the dude from The Who gets caught buying kiddy porn online nobody questions him when he says he was just doing "research". Because he's a rock legend. There was Gary Glitter too. A lot of pediophiles/ Just seems to me the entire "british invasion" was full of pedophiles. Seems to me maybe all of britain is one big sort of pedophisland.

I'm pretty sure the thing about Gary Glitter was the only true statement in your whole post. Pete Townshend wasn't "caught buying kiddie porn" he put his credit card info into a site that had a link to a police sting site. As for the Bowie thing I think you just farted that out of your rear end.

As for the Bowie thing I think you just farted that out of your rear end. Bowie (among many, many others apparently, but he was the first) supposedly had sex with a girl who to this day claims it was consensual and apparently a positive experience in her life. quote:For me, now, I’m in the fashion business and look back very fondly on those years. I was really special. I knew it the night after I lost my virginity to David Bowie, when I went to see his concert at Long Beach Arena. It was still the Spiders from Mars tour, and, literally, the night that he became a star. But he had the spotlight shined on Lee Childers [Bowie’s publicist], Sable, and I, sitting in the audience. That’s when he thanked me for being there. Who cares what people said about me? I feel like I was very present. I saw the greatest music ever. I got to hang out with some of the most amazing, most beautiful, most charismatic men in the world. I went to concerts in limos with police escorts. Am I going to regret this? No. So now the internet will continue to have slap fights over whether Bowie is a piece of poo poo for statutory raping a girl or a talented musician who was as much the product of his environment as any of the other guys who did the same thing, because it's really easy to take milquetoast internet revenge on a dead man 40 years after the fact to get clicks on your outrage article.

The Lori Mattix thing has been a known quantity for literally decades but not until the week after he died did people start writing articles about how horrible he was for doing it to make sure their poo poo comes up in a hot Google search and it amounts to a bunch of weak finger wagging and "this rock 'n roll culture that exploits young girls is unacceptable" while making no specific criticisms of how to fix it or what's to be done about it, and laying the blame at Bowie's feet specifically because he's dead now and can't fight back or apologize for it

nobody ever says "oh man i wish i could play guitar/bass/piano/drums/sing like john/paul/ringo/john". they were mediocre musicians at best, and their solo careers bear that out. the beatles got huge as a boy band whos fans were screaming 12 year old girls later on they "branched out musically" and "reinvented themselves" by stealing/buying a bunch of other peoples music and if you peek behind the curtain this is basically the story behind every successful band with a long-lived career a lot of pop music is good but the writing credits are dubious i cant believe david bowie would stop at raping just one kid. that's like believing jared only eating half of the foot long. if your david bowie and into young girls and have access to them then you decide after this one "amazing spiritual relationship" you are going to straighten up and fly right? anyways, canadian rockers are vetted against pedophilia so go listen to some kim mitchell or BTO or guess who or rush or triumph or killer dwarves buddy (some of those guys are prob pedophiles too)
