well REFLEX, here's my opinion... you're an asshole! But I
better be careful not to get myself banned... cause then I'd
have to start harrassing Phobiazero, and would have to go on
watmm to slag off xltronic.com and all that... which is very
stupid, idiotic and immature... and is really a pain in the
ass and a lot of trouble, so I'll be quiet now...

Can we all agree on the 15 minute horror "starway to
heaven" as the most overrated track of all time then ?

It is Imagine. It was voted best number one of all time on
the weekend, I was fucking mortified. It's
diabolical.

yes, I agree... it's just a piano song, and a simple piano
part I might add, sung by a guy who could never really sing
that great... sure the message of the song is a good one,
but the song itself ain't that great!

actually I love queen´s music, but some of their tracks are
overrated (radio ga ga), but bohemian rhapsody is not
overrated at all imo

i have to admit that i like under pressure ... but only

so in order to imagine a world without possessions you have
to live in a shitty house with nothing inside it?

No, not at all. There's not one person on earth pious
enough, other than maybe Mother Theresa, to give up a
''million pound'' house that they earned. He did his fair
share of work for charity and other social causes (sometimes
in a fucked up way, but he meant well), and no doubt he'd be
an old softy today and donate, perform for benefit shows,
all that stuff. Paul does it all the time.

The song is a ''simple piano tune'', nothing wrong with
that. Got a catchy hook and a nice piano line. People read
FAR too much into his lyrics, that's where I am the Walrus
came from... having a go at the critics that think they know
what they're talking about.

eh? That line is clearly denouncing materialism and so it's
a bit rich coming from someone living in such splendour. I
believe that was Earthleakage's point.

i like beatles generally...the thing that bothers me a bit
is that they were kind of greedy...especially paul - sure
he's making donations and helping people...but i have this
strong feeling he is one greedy bastard

You're right, that song was a rib, too. He'd probably think
this topic was pretty funny as well.

Tony- I already covered that. Do you seriously expect him to
just give away all his cash and shit? He's only human.
Nobody here would do that, why would he?

Everyone's greedy, of course there's some ego involved. You
can't deny all the stuff they've done for charities and all
that, Paul and George, especially. You can't accuse them of
being tightwads. They've done far far more for the world
than most or all of their peers.

yes you covered it as I was typing so my post was
automatically outdated :) I was simply trying to clarify (I
don't necessarily agree with my post) and totally agree with
yours although I'm sure Mother Theresa is not entirely alone
there. Let's not get into a 'celebs don't give enough of
their money away' debate cos it was already done a few weeks
back :)
