Are The Fall greater than The Beatles?

Mark E Smith would never be a travelling dingleberry.

Are you saying Mark E. Smith is somehow cooler than Bob Dylan and George Harrison?

there's no question about Harrison...Dylan, not until he got jeebus.

Ringo, I'll give you, but let's not get carried away here. The Fall may be greater than George post-76. Hex Enduction Hour certainly has held up a lot better than say Cloud Nine (thanks, Jeff Lynne), but I am still going with the quiet Beatle.

just listening to the new Fall record right now...i don't why i'm surprised it's so good, given the quality of last year's _Your Future, Our Clutter_. but damn. thirty-plus years on and still delivering the goods? not many people can claim that.

This is shaping up to be my album of the year, I've been playing it constantly for the last 10 days. Can't say that I thought YF,OC was that great tbh.
