I came across the BBs and beatles at the same time and the BBs immediatly blew my mind, esp good vibrations,,,,the beatles on the otherhand were good and I dig the 64-66 era mostly rubber soul but the subpar harmonies and so-so catchiness never matched up to the infectious flawless harmony of the BBs, same went for the 4 seasons and jan&dean, they got my attention over the beatles too, I jus never bought into hype, thats why I could never get into zeppelin and the other typical groups that the average schmuck grasps onto as definitive classic rock/ doesnt mean I undermine em I just dig more under the surface. Rolling stone mag and mtv did so much damage to pop culture but its a heardlike mentality, typical of those afraid to read between the lines, but that kinda talk makes one dismissed as a 'troll' when others are afraid to admit it.
To have such superior musical knowledge. as the rest of us average schmucks and herdlike challenged try to endeavour. Thank you oh superior one for settings us underlings straight. band2 or maybe their genius is simply above your pay level.
