New thread to avoid cluttering up another one. But I often hear it said that all the Nuggets tunes are kinda like second rate Beatles/Stones tunes and... maybe it's true as far as the original Nuggets comp goes, but I see that compilation as really something that is important for giving the idea of collecting a load of stuff together and then leading to people taking that idea much further. I honestly think that the stuff that is compiled across them is a totally different sound to The Beatles. Agreed, Stones make a better comparison, but i gonna just put a load here that I don't see as that similar... tell me your thoughts @Benny B - not trying to be adversarial here but interested to hear what you think.
As mentioned, I don't see this one as anything like either band
Or this
Or this
And this one is something totally different altogether
Now something like this you might see as a bit Beatles-ey I guess. But I think it's ambitious enough to not just be a throwaway inferior Beatles copy (though that is a matter of opinion I guess)
And when you have the real primitive bashers like these, neither Stones or Beatles ever did anything I know of that have this crude savagery
Now obviously I've picked ten or whatever there subjectively. I am not saying that there are not any that are just (inferior) Beatles and, particularly, Stones rip-offs
eg this one sounds an awful like Rolling Stones - but it's a good tune no doubt
But the main point for me is that there is quite a lot of variety, there are alll those farfisa organ ones, there are the speeded up chipmunk vocals (I think this one was mastered at the wrong speed by accident)
There's ones that are much more rocking than Stones or Beatles - and yeah a lot of the appeal does depend on whether you find something charming inn low recording quality... or not.
Anyway, that's enough to start with but - apart from the Grim Reepers one obviously - do you really thikn that any of those are that similar to Beatles or Stones? Genuine question, there may be ones that I don't know or have forgotten that answer the question.
