So....
if you're going for a band who made music ROUGHLY within the same pop/rock genre as the Beatles, then your choice is indefensible
is that fair?

Day doesn't make a difference to me, I'm stoned all the time, but I genuinely don't know what you are asking me.

If you actually saw them, then maybe you should have stuck around to see they are far more than their supposed (and overstated) debt to influences like VU...

It's one of the only things that has remained consistent about me since the 70s. There's been times I wasn't interested in what they were currently doing, and times when I was way more interested in some new thing I was just finding out about. Today, if they announced they were playing live, I would probably try to go but not fuss too much if it was too expensive or too much trouble to get in. But in terms of having a "favorite band", they've been it since I was 11.

I don't know that I agree with this. I think what is special about them is that everybody really did have what felt like a deeply personal relationship with them. Maybe it's because music is inherently a more personal and accessible medium than painting? If I spend a half an hour on FB, I'm bound to come across a discussion where somebody is proclaiming exactly what one of the Beatles meant or felt about a certain thing, as if they know them personally almost. People continue identify with them intensely.
Maybe this is changing, maybe it's a generational thing. Maybe people coming to them now are getting the greatness but not the connection. I'm not sure.
