If we just typed "I agree" or "I disagree", wouldn't that be incredibly boring? Personal opinions are make this world interesting and allows people to explore and try new things. Case in point: I am going to buy my first Beatles CD tonight. If it had not been for all these posts and all the personal opinions here, I never would have even thought about the Beatles.

There is nothing wrong with comaring one band to another for the sake of discussion. We compare things everyday whether we are conscience of it or not. So why not compare music for the sake of a good discussion especially when music is a very important part of our lives? It is personal choice to like one over another, or to think that one is stronger in certain areas and so forth. Like I said earlier, there is no one right or wrong answer. It's just cool to read others remarks about this stuff. I don't think that anyone ever wrote that one is definitely better than the other. It's just how we see certain musicians fitting within the whole scene. Personally, I have really enjoyed reading others posts here and it has allowed to want to dig in a little further to the Beatles music.

It's kind of cool that we can have discussions like this on the web. Now I am looking forward to exploring the music of a legandary band that I never would have even considered prior to the start of this thread. You can thank this thread for that!

In my mind, this is definitely what it's all about - sharing the music (Lightfoot's as well as others). BTW, Rubber Soul is my favorite Beatles album and since I was very young during the 60's and early 70's I gained my appreciation of their talents after the fact, so you may too. You'll have to let us know what you think.
