in reply to R or B?
Definitely 100% R!. I admit that the Beatles had - and still have - a huge impact on many musicians, but IMHO they are the most overrated band ever. Look at their lyrics, it is like listening to Lala and Po in teletubby land. Count the total number of distinct words in a song like "hello, Goodbye" (31) and then compare that to the number of distinct words (150+) of e.g. lyrics from the early days of Marillion which are plain poetry. FWIW Going Home from the Stones has 134 distinct words.
I know there are zillions of people that do not agree with me, but I personally would not shed a tear if there was no more songs played on the radio from the Beatles.
Hello-Goodbye: 32 distinct words 40 say 32 i 31 hello 31 zz_words 20 you 16 why 15 goodbye 10 dont 10 hela 10 know 9 heba 9 helloa 7 go 7 no 6 and 6 oh 3 yes 2 bye 2 stop 1 but 1 can 1 do 1 hellowow 1 high 1 its 1 low 1 may 1 mean 1 stay 1 still 1 time 1 to
That is a mere 31 different words including silly variants of hello
Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
