Quarter Final 1: (What's the Story(Morning Glory) vs Revolver

[BLUEBLOOD]

We've reached the Quarter Final stage, and first up is another clash between The Beatles and Oasis with Carls pick up against manor15

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Revolver for me, but i suspect it's futile, if oasis despatched the white album then I can't see this being different.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Genesis Genesis Genesis. Yeah, I'm a sore loser.

 

[SUFC Forever]

Oasis - overated. Still at least they are not child molesters.

 

[Ulysses]

Personally think both these albums are overrated but Champagne Supernova just swung it for me.

Blueblood could you post my post please, I'm on my iPod so can't copy and post
Oasis wouldn't have happened without Revolver. Revolver had a mix of different styles from all over the world and had many cheery, upbeat songs like Yellow Submarine but they were accompanied by more emotional songs like Eleanor Rigby

"There are only three stories worth knowing from the last 2,000 years of history: the life of Mohammed, the life of Jesus and the career of The Beatles. They invented all music ever. John was the best one; but Paul is--despite the knighthood and everything--still the most under-rated songwriter of the 20th century. This is the album with "Eleanor Rigby", "Here, There and Everywhere", "For No One", "I'm Only Sleeping" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" on it--but then, you knew that anyway. We presume you have this album already and you're just getting a second copy in case you lose the first." Caitlan Moran
That says it all really.
Revolver was one of the first psychedelic rock albums. It combined drums, vocals and guitars in all it's tracks. While it has some serious and sad songs like Taxman and Eleanor Rigby it immediately reverses your mood to one of happiness with Good Day Sunshine and Yellow Submarine. It has widely been described as one of the most experimental albums of all time, mixing different styles with influences from India and America.
It was number 1 in the UK for 7 weeks in and 6 weeks in the USA in 1966.
In 2000 it was voted best album ever by Q magazine readers, in 2001 VH1 gave it the same award and so did Virgin in their 1,000 best albums of all time. It was again voted best album ever by readers of Rolling Stone magazine.

Tracks included in this great album are:
Eleanor Rigby
Yellow Submarine
Taxman
I Love You Too
I'm Only Sleeping
Here There and Everywhere
She Said She Said
And Your Bird Can Sing
For No-One
Dr Robert
I Want To Tell You
Got To Get You Into My Life
Tomorow Never Knows

Sorry manor ... i've had the builders in from 7 o'clock this morning and even getting to the pc meant getting in their way, i clean forgot about posting your piece

 

[Rob Noxious]

Looks like I've doomed The Fabs once again as I did The 'Oo in previous 'battles' against this over-rated homage to ''lad culture'' ('scuse me whilst I direct a phlegmy gob towards my spittoon)...

Don't worry Bluebood was expecting to be back sooner but we had a cup game after school and it went to extra time and penalties!

 

[Ron Manager]

Revolver for me. Pure class!

 

[MK Shrimper]

And bye bye goes the last Beatles album.

Bah, they'll never last........ :whistling:

Bit of a backlash as so many were nominated and even got through the first round? I find it unbelievable they don't have anything left going through.
