in the same respect, i think the beatles/rollingstones/whatever are better
than the pavement/builttospill/modestmouse but i guess you win. i took the
bait.

I think it's funny that people have such a knee-jerk reaction to
someone saying "______ is better than the beatles/rolling
stones/velvet underground". It's like, as a music fan, you're required
to accept as fact "the The Beatles will never be topped". I'm not
going to buy into that crap: can anyone fathom that maybe - just
maybe - I REALLY do think that Pavement is a better band than
the Beatles? Musical taste is so personal; importance, influence...
these words mean nothing to mean. I don't care about those
qualities. Is Bob Dylan more influential than Stephen Malkmus.
Yes. Absolutely. No question. But is he better? No. I don't think he
is. That's my opinion, and so in my little sphere of reality, it's fact.
Really, I just feel sorry for people who would respond to my original
post with a comment like "are you human?". That's fucked up.
