    We will have to agree to disagree on Radio Ga Ga, it is a sublimely beautiful song that feels me with joy each and every time I hear it. It's one of those songs that is so good that many people dislike it just because so many people like it, for no other reason. In my experience those sorts of people loved The Smiths, almost without exception.

    I played the Stones to death as a teenager and through my university years. But I still love them and listen to them and discover new things in their songs. As an example, my favourite Stones song has continually changed over the years. From Sympathy for the Devil to Brown Sugar to the little know Memory Motel to my current favourite, Tumbling Dice.

    Boogie with Stu off Physical Graffiti, I could still listen to that.
    Misery is in the eye of the beholder. Those who find Leonard Cohen or The Smiths depressing are, in my opinion, miserable sods. Or they are simply not listening.

    You can't really play The Stones to death because you listen to it with your hips, not just your ears. Tumbling Dice isn't going to get old.... or grow up. And it does fill me with joy every time I hear it So does Moonlight Mile. And Rocks Off. Winter. Monkey Man. Sway. The list goes on.......

    The Beatles.... that is a whole other discussion. The genius there is songwriting and production. I could never get bored of Sgt Pepper.

    Oh Peter, there we go again - disagreeing.

    Pepper is grossly overrated, I'd take the White Album every time.

    She's Leaving Home and When I'm 64 are just utter McCartney dross. Or to summarise better, the first three songs are great and after that you get mostly average songs, or rubbish, until Day in the Life, which is also overrated.

    go to youtube and search for a video of someone playing Keith's guitar line from Tumbling Dice. There are a few. You don't need the vocals, bass or drum, just that guitar line. Keith is a genius.

    See....I was willing to overlook the whole Radio Ga Ga issue. But this.... what you have written here.... it is just totally unacceptable.

    You need to sit down and take a long look at yourself, Wes. And it won't be pretty

    Are you *actually* telling me, Peter, that When I'm 64 is a better song than Radio Ga Ga?

    Really?

    It's load of sh1t, I don't care if it's on Pepper or not.

    WES is doing his usual. Trying to lock me into arguing over one song when the real issue is him trashing pretty much the entire album.

    Do I think When I'm 64 is an amazing song? No. But I am not going bother arguing over the better of two bad songs. It would be like discussing the difference between **** and ****e.

    And let's face it, if the chap thinks A Day in the Life isn't any good then our reference points are too far apart. We may as well stick to arguing about whether Arsenal are going to win the league
