Appreciating Muhammad Ali

[ianwigley]

juyjuy

name one band that had made more classic albums than the beatles.
that's right you cant. the beatles are the greatest band ever

Further to this...

I could name you 50 albums you should buy before any of The Beatles albums...shout me if you need to know.

The Beatles are the 60s Take That.

Dude

The answer is simple to start with....

Oasis

When they released Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory they cleaned The Beatles out. As Noel Gallagher said about Oasis "The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be"

The Beatles released one good album (that one with Mean Mr Mustard on), aside from this they were canonised. The Beach Boys, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Smiths and The Stone Roses and too many bands to mention before were ten times better than the Beatles.

The Beatles had a good songwriter or two, and two guys who could just play guitar. They had a **** drummer, and Paul on bass. He was hardly Phil Lynott, was he?

Get over yourself, The Beatles were average. One good song, Yesterday, from that wanker Paul McC. Smells like Take That, one good song an' all that....

If you need a tip, here's where you should be heading - Strangeways Here We Come - The Smiths, it doesn't get much better than this...

Thank me later

Ian

lmao classic!

beatles>all other bands in 1

paul mccartney is the best bass player ever
he isn't as flashy as someone like entwhistle but he is far more consistent
just listen to his melodic bass playing on revolver or sgt peppers.

Phil Lynott
Billy Sheehan
Nikky Sixx
Steve Harris
John Deacon

There's four before I even start thinking...

Paul McCartney is a fur-loving frontrunner who lived off of John Lennon's good tunes...

those bassiists didn't consistently blow your mind with their bass playing album after album.

i'll say it again just because they are flashier than mccartney doesn't make them better.

** Oh please, keep the bathroom duties in the bathroom por favor!

Ali completely abandoned Malcolm X and even indicated Malcolm deserved his assassination.

Ali wasn't no civil rights leader, he was a magnetic athlete who spoke out, often ignorantly, on the politics of the day. Maybe you ain't studied up, but Joe Louis was more popular with both black and white Americans, and actually did more for black civil rights behind the scenes than Ali could ever with his mouth.

Ali gets plenty of props, both now and in his day, and has become more dignified in the face of his illness, so let's not beat a dead horse that Ali wasn't or isn't appreciated.

Good post. I dont celebrate you telling the truth about Muhammad Ali, but some people need to realise he was FAR from perfect.
He did more ****ed up things than the average man, and did greater things than the average man.
Behind the scenes, behind all the Edited Hollywood docu's and highlights with the dramatic music, there was a real man that made mistakes.
Come on, he was human. I love him aswell, but no one should make him out to be an angel, even though he stabbed Malcolm X and Frazier's backs, threated his opponents like **** etc.
You are right though, even the ones that hate Ali, love him.

** Dudette, your answer comfortably fits on your pinhead.

Nobody has ever heard of Oasis. I could really care less about record sales, concerts, but the Beatles created major international hysteria and were a seminal musical force, the sum of which was far greater than individual band members.

Just stick to boxing, where most any novice on the board would clean your clock for you anyways.

Nobody said he was perfect, but obviously, London Ring is an Ali hater, based on some other of his posts in the past, so i wouldn't put any stock in anything he says about Ali.

You think anyone who doesnt ride Ali's jock is a hater. Its not hating, its telling the truth, and calming people the **** down with fairy tales and fantasy. I do the same with Foreman, not hating, just trying to stay realistic.
Im sure you do the same with Marciano?

Telling the truth? His posts are so biased against Ali it's funny at times. He said that Klitchko would murder Ali. He also said that Liston threw the first fight against clay, and that Bonavena was easily beating Ali up until the stoppage, when the actual scorecards show Ali in a comfortable lead up until the stoppage.

LondonRingRules is an Ali hater, plain and simple.
