Beatles Vs Led Zeppelin?


Here is my opinion to these two bands that both awesome.
Beatles all four members are composers and singers. For Led Zeppelin composer Robert plant and Jimmy page, singer only plant.
Individually:
Lennon & Plant: Both can do rock-scream and they can both elevate their voices to even worse screaming. But Lennon can play instrument instruments.
McCartney and JPJ: This one was really not matched. JPJ was a great man, awesome member of LZ, sometimes he called as LZ secret weapon, and I respect this guy, when it comes to His skills. But McCartney alone is a complete musician, respected composer until now. Can play piano, gtr, bass, drums. And considered as the superior balladeer of the Beatles, Create the 1st proto-heavy metal song. McCartney has many complicated bass over to JPJ, aside from that he’s one the main singer.
Harrison and Page: These guys for me are both best lead guitarist of their respective bands. Jimmy and George are composers. They are producers too, But Jimmy pages guitar skills was more advanced that time, his solos are fast, but again the basis of being great is not only the speed George and Jimmy will be tie on this part They have many Great Iconic solos and if you count them George still wins, the only solos I can recall from LZ was Stairway, Dazed and Confused, Black Dog.. George edge is that he sings man. both are great!
Starr and Bonzo: You can easily Judge by listening to their works. Bonham wins for being best drummer, he was like ranked as the No.1 best drummer of all time. Skills to skills JB > RS; But I would like to add that In considerations to the British Invasion, Ringo started the heavy metal Drumming. All songs of ZP have complicated drum fills because of Bonham’s greatness, but Ringo also have complicated fills like in Rain & A day in a life That makes him tough competitors to drums. Let’s go on to the composition, Ringo have compositions in beatles time. 1 to 2 songs per album, Ringo Starr sings too.. bonham no singer.
Beatles are good instrumentalist although they are softer and more on poppish..LZ,no question when it comes to instrument talents. Over-all even soft music, Beatles governs on the instrument because LZ was guitar-drums band while Beatles were more complete one. even I can’t deny that in speed/skills they have Bonzo & Page kills Ringo & George respectively. but doesn’t mean they are weak, remember most of the creation of George & Ringo are Remarkable
Beatles revolutionized the rock music, and started the British invasion to which LZ was influenced.
Best selling Album record between Beatles and LZ, LZ Win for their Led Zeppelin lV album, Then 2nd will be Beatles’ Sgt Pepper Lonely hearts. They had closed fight for these individual albums.
Now let’s go to over-all best selling bands. This time Beatles is greater than LZ and also Greater than every artist known in the universe… Beatles holds the title for the best selling band for more than A Billion units.
Beatles was the combined forces of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Dylan etc.
LZ was influenced by Elvis, Beatles (specially Rain song), Celtics, muddy water, etc.
Beatles sounds are everything, Pop, Acoustic, Country, Classic, Ballads, Psychedelic, Acid, Blues, Heavy-Proto Metal..
LZ Hard Rock, Blues, Acoustic.
LZ opened the door to some of the heavy rockers, not all because during LZ time, Sabbath and DP did already exist.
Beatles opened the door to all rockers including LZ, Sabbath and DP when they first started the British invasion and conquered America. LZ should thanks Beatles for opening the door for them. That’s why LZ easily market their name and works to US that time because of Beatles.
Beatles known as master of back masking, & Inventor the MTV when they create Rain and Paperback writer video.
Beatles started the 1st major concert/event in US Shea stadium for more than 60,000 audience. but LZ later break the record.
Beatles known to be 1st ever band to revolutionized music by experimentation, off course LZ do the same after.
Beatles known too as the band that appreciate black artist and western music in the 60’s.
LZ incorporate so much Blues music than beatles. The most bluesy song by the beatles is “I want you(She so heavy..)”
There was so called “Beatlesmania”. I wonder if LZ have “Zepmania or LedZepmania?
Because of the film “A hard days night” American Media proclaimed England as the center of the music, image and fashion.
Beatles also started the image of Long haired band before LZ, the Headbanging before Ozzy.
Some say that Stairway to heaven is the best rock song of all time, and I agree to that., but some list say it was Imagine by Lennon.
Have LZ beat the song “Yesterday”? the most covered and played song of all time.
LZ placed multiple no.1 songs in Charts? Big No. but Beatles Did many times during their hey days..
Beatles also do acting;
Beatles st

What Rhetorical Strategies Are Used In This Editorial?


It has been nearly 40 years since The Beatles released their final studio album “Abbey Road.” Hailed by critics of the era and after as one of the best, it became apparent to listeners young and old that The Beatles would forever hold a place in history. Some forget, however, that this place for The Beatles had been secured already since their first single was released in 1963.
When The Beatles came out, they filled a void. While rock ‘n’ roll had been buzzing for some time, The Beatles had a sound that was fresh, something other bands hadn’t quite been able to grasp. Heavily influenced by Buddy Holly and Elvis, The Beatles put their own spin on the sounds and ushered in the British Invasion and caused the epidemic known as Beatlemania. Granted, The Beatles had amazing marketing, but what about when the pop fuzz wore off? The Beatles simply got better.
Thus began the second half of their career, some say beginning with the seemingly drug-induced “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” While some bands do evolve and grow over time, few do as big of an overhaul on their image and sound as The Beatles did. Here we see the four distinct voices, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, coming together to produce something great.
Shedding their poppy, innocent image, The Beatles found themselves in a generation fueled by the counterculture, fed up with “the man,” and finished with the innocence of the early ‘60s. The Beatles reflected that in their music. Few bands evolve with a generation: many just took the counterculture and ran with it at the peak of the psychedelic music genre. The Beatles kept their music rich, deep, and poignantly simple. By doing this they continued to define their generation, becoming a landmark for the ‘60s music scene.
However, when a band becomes as big as The Beatles have, many begin to argue that they are overrated and undeserving of their place in history as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, bands of all time. People often hate the popularity of The Beatles. After all, why like something that everyone else seems to like?
The problem with this is that people often forget the ongoing relevance of The Beatles. The film “Across the Universe” came out in 2007, using The Beatles’ music as covered by the cast. Cirque de Soleil also made use of The Beatles’ tracks remixed and revisited. Both were popular and fantastic examples of The Beatles’ prevailed standing in the music scene. Bands continue to cover them and site their works as a major influence, drawing on albums such as “The White Album” and “Abbey Road” for inspiration. Teenagers whose parents had never picked up a Beatles album are discovering the songs and adding to an already substantial fanbase. The Beatles continue to define and shape generation after generation, music scene after music scene.
Some also see The Beatles as latching onto the scene that preceeded them. This falls flat, because The Beatles, as previously stated, began an entire new musical revolution, the British Invasion. By adding a British spin, The Beatles helped change American rock ‘n’ roll forever. So when it comes to comparing bands that hit it big after The Beatles, it invalidates history. The Beatles had a niche in music history and did things that were uprecedented. They reached a broader audience that was rarely narrowed by a specific genre or demographic, becoming universal in countries around the world. Even when they first came out, The Beatles were recording in various languages and countries. Whose to say that should The Beatles’ have not existed or had been as big as they came to be, that music would be the same. Yet people continue to doubt.
My question for the doubters is “Have you listened to them?” No, not that simple. Have you really truly listened to them, weighed their growth as songwriters, viewed their evolution from album to album, seen the way they affected not just their generation but the generations after that? Doing this isn’t just required for The Beatles, but all bands. The Beatles showed us that listening to music isn’t as basic as plugging in our iPods or flipping on a turntable. We have to become the music and immerse ourselves in what it really means. A band that can do that: make us think as much, make us feel as much, as The Beatles have done, is truly worthy of any title, including being the best.
