Bandoff - Grand Final - And the Beatles win !!

Post by StillSpike »

So there we are, after 64 bands were entered into this epic competition, we're down to the final 2. I think we all know who's favourite here, but lets see who triumphs.

Here's the route to the final they both took

I preferred Wings to be honest but never really enjoyed The Who so it's a vote for the Fab 4

I'd have thought you were more of a Stones man myself.

Surely ‘won’t get fooled again’ even in isolation is better than all the Beatles ‘efforts’ Combined ? Ringo v Keith?..... Keith. C’mon people, vote. WHO.

To be fair, this is tighter than I had predicted. Still expect The Who to run out of steam towards the final whistle though.

Yes, I agree.

Going by earlier rounds, up to 40 votes are available, so there's still a few to go.

Beatles changed modern music, innovated with every new album, wrote songs that will be popular for centuries, etc. etc..

The Who stammered about their generation.

Not even close.

'GOOD MORNING GOOD MORNING’. It was only ‘YESTERDAY’ or was it ‘THE NIGHT BEFORE’ when I thought just ‘ACT NATURALLY’ and vote for the one you really like. When my partner said ‘YOU CAN’T DO THAT’ I said ‘TELL ME WHY’. ‘PERHAPS I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER’ than to say that to her as now ‘SHE’S LEAVING HOME’ and ‘I’LL CRY INSTEAD’. I hope we can ‘COME TOGETHER’ ‘BECAUSE’ ‘I’M SO TIRED’ of arguing. ‘I DON’T WANT TO SPOIL THE PARTY’ but as you can see I have a penchant for The Beatles. If The Who win then ‘I’M A LOSER’. But ‘HELP’ me and vote for The Beatles and ‘PLEASE PLEASE ME’!

This is the equivalent of a race between a Vauxhall Corsa and a Lambo ......between a Ming vase & a cheap vase from Poundland, a match between Man city & Southend.....
The Beatles are so much the greatest band of all time. You really had to live through the 60's to really appreciate what they meant to society, not just music

The Beatles were just a band. They meant nothing to society.

Yep, my earlier prediction was right. The Who are seriously flagging now. The Beatles are on track to win first prize; a copy of Pete Townsend's book.

Based on whose best LP I’m more likely to listen to, I’ve voted for The Who (cos of the Who’s Next album).

No denying the beauty and craft of many Beatles songs, but there’s nearly always a couple of real duds on every record.

Neither would be in my top 10 bands, mind, but - hey - that’s bandoff for ya.

The correct decision.

However, you failed to mention their limited rhythm section, jingle jangle guitars and trite meaningless lyrics. Ooh

Some people on here are voting because they have been brainwashed by the media and music industry.

^My post above is leading to a joke, BTW. I just need one of you to set it up so I can tap it in.
