Sorry! Beach Boys are second to The Beatles for me.

Mccartney/Lennon were the greatest songwriters of all time during the Beatles years. BW had the talent to match them but other things got in the way for him.
putting the beatles at the top of the music spectrum is like putting mcdonalds on top of the burger spectrum....I mean seriously mccartney was good not great and lennon was ok but neither were NOWHERE near brian, cmon.

You are seriously comparing the Beatles to McDonalds?!

Just more trolling from him, seeing as the post he quoted is from over two years ago.


My second favorite band is probably the Beatles, but my second favorite artist is Frank Sinatra.

I challenge you to post ten times without mentioning the Beatles. Do you accept this challenge?
On a side note, who do you think is second to Brian?

I suppose it would be The Beatles for me, however, I am equally partial to Motown (as a whole.... the sound was primarily created by a group of a session musicians 'the Funk Bros.). But nothing even comes close to the BBs Smiley

Dion"not Celine or Warwick"Dimucci is probably my second favorite artist followed by the Eagles, ZZTop, and the Buckinghams <just something about the Horns>

I've had The Buckinghams on a lot this year. Their Portraits LP is pretty amazing even though they didn't like some of James Guercio's input.

I will focus on a couple of different bands in a year's time - one of the bands I am exploring more in depth is The Monkees.
I got the DVD sets too.  For a solo artist I have been spinning a lot of Glen Campbell (my wife like to listen to him too)

In a few months it will be something else....

Red House Painters / Sun Kil Moon

Yes, a million times. Obsessed over "Ghosts…" for a long time before moving onto the rest and each release blew me away and still does. Seeing Koz next week in London.

I know I've posted in this thread before but for comparison at the moment I'd say it's a tie: RHP/SKM, a-ha, Prefab Sprout, Tears for Fears, Neil Young.

Great to see a couple more users being into Kozelek's music! Ghosts was huge for me when it came out. Loved the records he did last year with Desertshore and Jimmy Lavalle.

I really enjoy his stage banter, by the way. Occasionally it's a bit rude but he can be incredibly funny sometimes.

Red House Painters / Sun Kil Moon

That's really coincidental to read this, as I've been obssessed with the album Benji this week. Possibly my favorite of this year.
...

When the song "Micheline" was premiered on the web a couple of months before Benji came out I could hardly listen to anything else for weeks I think.

xtc (later, post-skylarking: I'm a bit 'meh' before that, but from oranges and lemons on, I think they were incredible... nonsuch and apple venus are out of this world, right up there with my favourite music ever)

Matt,  Great!  We are looking for confessors over at the xtc place  Thread.  The General Music Discussion section can be such a lonely place.  Hope to see you there soon.
peace, Will

oh, this thread...too many to list.  I have a long list over on my profile page at Amazon USA.  Probably will forget  some, but I'll give it a try (fifty-something years and counting).  Artists and bands that stay in rotation:
UKer's:  The Beatles and all Wings albums.  All of Paul through 1999's Run Devil Run, after that I get selective and hit skip a lot.  My other UK favorites are John Martyn (all eras, a great man - Big Muff), Traffic, The Hollies, The Kinks, Procol Harum, Fleetwood Mac (again, the skip button gets used a bit after Buckingham/Nicks got on board, but all the rest are Top thru 1974).  Then The Stones and Who.  I'm a big fan of Jack Bruce, Brian Auger (with and without Julie Driscoll), lots of prog (Genesis, ELP, early Yes), and Bee Gees (most of it, but pre-R&B best) too.
Nazz and all of Todd Rundgren's disguises after that.
Laura Nyro is my favorite female artist hands down.  Bobbie Gentry, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Christine McVie, Bonnie Bramlett, Emmylou Harris, and Judy Collins, are a few - but this list could be very long.  I'll add two more that never get mentioned around here, Judee Sill and Corinne Drewery (should have put Swing Out Sister with the UK groups - I own everything they ever did).  
more?  The best way to say this:  Buffalo Springfield and The Byrds - all the projects that flowed from these two bands are part of the soundtrack of my youth, though everybody I'm listing is.  Speaking of which - The Box Tops (and nearly anything Alex was involved in), Michael Nesmith - I got into the Monkees only after hearing him in 1970.  Herb Pedersen, boy, he's on a lot of my favorite records.  The Band (and another Canadian - Gordon Lightfoot).  California produced so many great musical moments (in case you don't know, The Beach Boys are my favorite), but must mention Spirit (while Jay and Mark was with them), Iron Butterfly (that too was short but sweet), Steve Miller Band (best of the Bay Area 60's thru mid-70's acts), Boz Scaggs, Quicksilver and Santana's first four get played often here too.  From the East: Harry Nilsson, The Rascals, Steely Dan (and Donald's solo stuff), The Buckinghams, Blood, Sweat and Tears (1-4 are best), I at least *like* everything Al Kooper did (most of it I love), the original Chicago (not so much after Terry died), I like a lot of horn bands, even one that gets no respect around here- Ides of March.  Marc Benno (first three albums), every note Delaney and Bonnie played, J J Cale, and I haven't even got to American Soul Music yet- heavy rotation on Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and loads of the Philly stuff.
As an old guy, I just mostly listen to old music.  Other than McCartney, nobody has worn out their welcome, but I am buying all the Deluxe Book/Box sets he's releasing - mostly to get the DVDs.  Can't wait (and hope I'm still around for Red Rose Speedway and Wild Life).
Modern Sounds/the 80's and on... I'll stick xtc, projects by Paul Weller, and Eurythmics (and Annie solo) here. I love what Michael McDonald is doing these days, he's become one of my favorite current singers.  And the best for last:  I saw some movie with Dennis Quaid, I think in 2004, forget the name of it.  Anyway, what really stood out was the soundtrack.  I was introduced to one Sam Beam.  Sam, both solo and with his band Iron and Wine is the best new thing I've heard since... Well, the last thing I can remember liking as much was Oasis, so the mid-90's.  All the other new music will have to wait 'til I have the time.  I'm still open.    
how's that?  This is just off the top of my head, sure I've left many out, and maybe better listed in some other thread.  A quick visit to the music room could fix it...  Wait one more modern music maker, and he's right here posting among us.  Mike (My Brother Woody), you won't be disappointed if you go over to the Smiler's making music section or just click to his web site next time you see him posting.  He's got a new album out, and his first album (2007) is Top.  Great at cover versions too.

I'd have to go with the Beatles next. Then really enjoy Three Dog Night; The Guess Who; America; The Turtles; The (Young) Rascals; The Who; The Moody Blues; Fleetwood Mac (and then just about most 60's groups).

The beatles/mcdonalds statement was a little thing called sarcam, cuz people get so riled up anytime you use a metaphor that they cant comprehend. Any time the beatles are given anything other than praise that person gets called a troll or some other horsesh.it. it just makes no sense to me why a whole thread would dedicated towards dissecting the 1 or 2 joke tracks on early BBs albums...and then to say the beatles had no filler is ridiculous.

second to brian in terms of timeless great music and brilliant integral output? Thatz a hard 1/ Ive said it before and Ill again, in 1977 when the ramones put out their first masterpiece albums it was the first time in a decade that rock was back on track.

You're honestly telling me that the second greatest composer to Brian Wilson is the Ramones - a band known for using simplistic chords/chord progressions and for sticking to a rigid formula? Like Abe says, "man, you must be puttin' me on."

I dont think there was/is ANY songwriter/composer that come close to Brian Wilson; not McCartney , not Dylan, NO ONE. McCartney might a been close but not with Lennon, Paul was great but were not talkin Wilson and Love so I dont see how Lennon is even in the same league. The Ramones might have been 'simple' but they were brilliant/ their albums Rocket to Russia, End of the Century and Pleasant Dreams was THE best pure rock of the late 70s/early 80s barnone. There was NO era past the mid 60s with any "brilliant" writers that revolutionized the industry like Brian, Jan Berry and Spector but the Ramomes epitomized that era and rejuvenated rock at a time when disco and arena rock crap dominated mainstream radio .
