Beatles or Rutles?

Oh, Jesus....

What next, Jesus v. Brian?

And their classic: Can't Buy Me Lunch.

To be honest, I thought the Rutles TV special was great! Great one liners and the songs were phenomenal. I think that the writer actually got sued for plagiarism on a few, but they were funny as hell. I have two Rutles CDs which I haven't played in a while but I'll break them out asap.

And I just voted again for that greatest of all rocks ever, The Beatles. And to cancel out Jose's vote for the Rutles. ;)

It said that I'd already voted in this poll, which is unusual because I hardly ever vote without commenting. I can say with confidence that I would have voted for the Rutles. I liked the film, but it's more about the songs themselves for me. One of the greatest accolades that I can give The Beatles is that they inspired The Rutles. Neil Innes was some kind of genius.

And truly, I always (or at least very often) have in the back of my mind Cheese and Onions.

"I have always thought in the back of my mind, "Cheese and Onions".
I have always thought that the world was unkind, "Cheese and Onions".
Do I have to spell it out ? "see-H-E-E-S-E A-N-D O-N-I-O-N-S", oh no."

Since you used to be a master of poll resurrection, perhaps I should consider your sage words. Usually when I unlock topics its at other's request.

I was thinking about doing a The Rutles appreciation topic, but instead thought I might just bump an existent topic. I love the Rutles.
