What Are You Doing RIGHT NOW? Part ELEVEN: Through the Wormhole...

[BachiG]

Such disputes occur in academia all the time. Maybe nobody's smart enough to know.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly now, what you are really saying is that there are various levels of musicianship and the higher level of musicianship a band is/has achieved, the better the band. Nickleback are apprentices compared to The Beatles mastery whereas possibly both The Beatles and The Stones may have reached the same level of Mastery (or at least negligible differences in their mastery) making them "better" than the "average" band. And by extension their music and the appeal of that music is better. If thats the case, then I understand what you are saying, but don't agree. I still think that the term "better" is subjective when it comes to music and it basically boils down to "what moves you." I think The Beatles are better than The Stones and no expert would ever be able to convince me otherwise even if they could prove through music theory etc., that The Stones were head and shoulders beyond The Beatles. I'd also say Depeche Mode were better than The Stones and all they did was play a bunch of synthesizers... Their music still moves me more than The Stones so they are better to me. It's a close call between The Beatles and DM.

Edit: oops, too late. Have a good night SSSS, this debate could probably go on forever with neither of us convinced of the others take. Fun to discuss anyway.

I figured this much. But all these bands have their ups and downs.

Megadeth is the well written and most musically diverse with their unique touch of sarcasm that makes it all thought provoking and easy to rock out too. Slayer are more founded in death metal, but can thrash harder than any of the others. Metallica had a few great first albums then got a bit stale after completely selling out. Anthrax is an acquired taste, they don't give a f*** and I love them for it. Anthrax typically gets the most flack out of any of them, but they have charm that borderlines glam rock with heavy metal. I'd say they're lyrically the weakest, but thrive best with energy and spirit.

Emma Frost is nothing but boobs. Not that that's any different than any American version of her.

maybe I should of said I don't enjoy the other 3 not that they are bad

and of course I have a lot of respect for them... metal music would not be the same without them
