I took an online american music class and the section on the beatles sucked.

Class was hard as FUCK. Probably the hardest I ever took in college.

Trying to pick out the rhythm differences of gregorian chanting is FUCKING BULLSHIT

No fair. This was harder than Led vs Floyd. I didn't want to vote on this matchup. Had to go with the size of the body of work.

What's better? 1). Big swinging dick that gets three years worth of tail, or 2) pasty, needle dick limeys that pull two decades worth? Still a tough one, I know.
 
I fucking hate The Beatles - but they need to meet up with the Stones in the Final Four and receive a well deserved beatdown.

The hardest class at ASU is one where you have to detect different rhythms. I'm not surprised.

Hardy har har

Lol for real though it was the most retarded thing I ever did. Like wtf is this shit
 
I had a feeling this one would go down to the wire. Beatles holding onto a slim lead with less the 24 hrs.
 
Early Beatles was pretty boring pop-rock or covers of other artists(as was common at the time). Jimi was a much more interesting musician from the beginning. Really can't hate either choice though.

You have to remember though how much The Beatles advanced rock music from the time of their first LP in 1963 - i.e., Please Please Me to Sgt. Pepper in mid 1967. Sgt Pepper and Are You Experienced came at the same tim in 1967 and the Beatles were way past covers and teeney bopper pop-rock by that point. At the time of the Beatles debut in 1962- 63 Jimi was a backup guitar player who hadn't even thought about singing yet.

I love ALL the Beatles records, but, say, we rule out everything before Rubber Soul in 1965, that's still 6 albums that they have which are absolutely essential- i.e., Rubber Soul, Revolver, Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album, and Abbey Road - to 3 for Jimi (plus live Band of Gypsies). This is no knock on Jimi, but you it's hard to top the output of the Beatles from 1965- 69.
 
Poles are now closed. Beatles hold on to win 25-20 setting up an epic Elite 8 showdown with the Stones.
