the Beach Boys are better than The Beatles

[Estolcles]

Hendrix doing "Watchtower", he basically took the song from Dylan, and made it his own.

The modern day equivalent to this would be Johnny Cash doing "Hurt", which was originally a Nine Inch Nails song. Trent Reznor even said: "That's his song now" because of how he took it and made it his own, doing it better.

That's a misquote. I never said Dylan was greater than Hendrix.

For clarification: Dylan's lyrical writings were better than Hendrix's, whereas Hendrix's guitar work was way better than Dylan's.

If songs were based on lyrical content alone, Tori Amos would be one of the top selling artists in the world, and no one would have heard of Beyonce or 99% of modern pop stars.

To look at it another way: ask most Van Halen fans which version they preferred: Diamond Dave led or Van Hagar, and most will tell you Diamond Dave despite the fact that when David Lee Roth was the singer/writer, it had better guitar work, but when Sammy Hagar was the frontman, they had better lyrical content.

I never said that. Now, I used to prefer the Hagar stuff, but as I've aged, I've begun to appreciate the Diamond Dave stuff more. The stuff with DLR was a lot more FUN than the stuff with Hagar. When Hagar was with the band, it was more of Van Halen messed up love balads and whatnot (although "Humans Being" rocked), but with David Lee Roth you had stuff like "Hot For Teacher" and "Panama", which were just loud and good and FUN.

tl;dr: I like Roth led Van Halen more.
