Default Re: Old Bands Round 2 The Beatles vs. Jimi Hendrix

The more and more I thought about it, the more lopsided this became. Jimi Hendrix is one of the greatest guitar players of all time, wrote some nice lyrics, and is truly an inspiration to many. But the Beatles have written some of the most intimate lyrics and are truly an inspiration to everybody.

"In My Life" makes me almost cry when I hear it... and I never cry... And the way the Beatles adapted to, and changed music of their generation.. amazing. Some of that has to do with Lennon meeting Bob Dylan, with Dylan basically telling him that his lyrics didn't mean much. Then we got a whole different sound to the Beatles... amazing...
