^^^She's So Heavy is my favorite Beatles track but it's nowhere near as complex as Rush

I find it odd how can one compare a 3 member band to especially The Beatles but ok tastes and one's perception differ and this is ok too.

yeah I've often said that She's So Heavy might be the first real instance of "proto-doom", If you just kicked up the distortion on the guitars and made the drums heavier that main riff could easily be a Candlemass song.

'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' is in my top 5 of Beatles' tunes. Definately heavy, McCartney just smokes it on the bass, the vocals are as far removed from 'Can't Buy Me Love' as possible, and it's quite epic, especially with the killer riff during the 2nd half. The jazzy middle section with the Hammond just blows. Great track, and better than many Rush tunes, but the intense complexity of much of Rush's music wins me over.....

Do I have to choose just one? Cry

Okay, I'll pick the Beatles. Slightly more consistent output and varied evolution.

Not that Rush didn't have a varied evolution - listen to Fly By Night, Hemispheres and Signals back to back and it's hard to believe it's the same band...well, at least it would be if Geddy Lee's singing wasn't such a dead giveaway. LOL

He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball!

The Beatles were probably the most versatile, innovative and influential band of all time. Like him or not, Sir Paul is one of the most talented and prolific composers on this planet, period. Between Paul and John they also generated an impressive collection of outstanding lyrics. Rush is an accomplished and much-beloved band with a long and dignified career, but frankly I don't think they are quite in the same category as The Fab Four.

I agree with you Argonaut, the Beatles were groundbreaking and at the forefront of everything, I go even as far as saying that they might even have invented metal with Helter Skelter.

A hug to you,

Not so sure about "Helter Skelter"... it may be a bit crazy, heavy even, but it doesn't sound so much "Heavy Metal" to me... however, "She's so Heavy", yeah, that one almost souShe's nds like metal to me.

Can't agree there bud. Don't understand it :\

I want you or She's so heavy is blues rock to me, I'd rather call Why don't we do it on the road (lol you gotta love Paul McCartney

) more metal although heavily blues rock too.

Besides the upbeat tunes, this track ( She so heavy) has also influence in terms of tunes from Because.
