    I guess the best way I can explain it...
    You had to have been there... to get it.

    The same goes for 1977 and the punk rock of The Clash, Sex Pistols and Ramones... and 1991 for Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains.

    i don't know... i wasn't really there for grunge (i was a kid then and didn't care for music) or the beatles, but i get them. i still think the clash and sex pistols suck though.

    I have about the same opinion

    You don't have to be old to like good music. Zeppelin was my first love, and I think that is the key to my musical fanaticism. They covered so many styles, so they got me prepared to delve into other brances of rock and roll.

    As far as punk goes, I appreciate the mentality, and some great bands have used it, but musically, I don't find it interesting enough.

    I also appreciate that it has no ties to pepper's. From the cover to the songs, it was a whole new direction, and you can hear the tension of the group throughout. Besides revolver, this would be their masterpiece, and I have a hard time believing a fan of the band would not agree.

    The Sex Pistols are a complete joke and total marketing gimmick, but The Clash 100% rock.

    it's better than any album in just about any other artists' collection. it is amazing in every sense of the word, but it's a tad overrated. sgt. pepper's, abbey road, and rubber soul are better imo.

    In your opinion, I would take many many bands albums over it. I in fact would take many bands best over The Beatles best.
