If this show features Sean Pertwee working out on a salmon ladder, I'm probably in for the long haul.

Batman 66? Bat-gallo and Robinicci, spanning time…

Don't forget the umbrellacopters!

Hey, I saw Equilibrium! Own it, even!

Sean Pertwee's Alfred will be like "Clean it up yourself, you little shite. Stop weeping."

Agreed that losing the Foos would be a blow, but there's an alternate universe in my head where Kurt survives, Dave becomes the rhythm guitarist and co-songwriter/vocalist w Taylor Hawkins coming in to drum, and we still get most of the FF classics anyway, along w new Cobain and maybe even Cobain/Grohl material.

'Paperback Writer' is a great tune… much more than just the A-side to 'Rain'!

'Let it Be' is indeed some pacifying (and I mean that in the best way) business.

Yeah, I think a better balance between their contemporaries and newer acts would've been nice, but considering the talent at hand from the Grammy pool, they did a decent job w the line-up. Though a not insignificant part of me wonders what a Daft Punk tribute to the Fabs might've looked/sounded like.

I'd add Dave Grohl and Peter Gabriel.

This is basically an impossible argument for either side to 'win', but I am of the camp that believes Kurt was blossoming into a legitimately great songwriter, and that if he could've both gotten the help he needed for his mental illness and kept the band together (both admittedly big ifs), Nirvana would've continued

I' not sure The Beach Boys (or at least the critical darling version) would exist without The Beatles. And I love The Beach Boys.

I have to admit, the moment where Ringo was singing 'Yellow Submarine' and called over to Dave and his kid in the crowd and said something like "Dave Grohl, is that your daughter? She's beautiful!" made me go all "d'awwww, Ringo is the coolest!"

I mean, they still wouldn't equal the Beatles' popularity, but it'd be an equally impressive body of work. Although, you'd have to take Sticky Fingers and Exile out, so maybe not even that. Break them up in '73 or '74, then we've got an argument worth having.

Walsh and Clark killed it. Best guest solo on 'Weeps' is still Prince, though.

Yeah, I'm going w a Ringo vocal for his:

Jeff Lynne has quietly become one of the best dudes in rock. It's made me retroactively like ELO a whole lot.

If there's a gun to me head…

Yup. that was shitty. That band is shitty, unless Kendrick Lamar is involved.

When Ringo called Frampton out during his performance, I said aloud, "Hey Peter Frampton, do you like toast TOO?" and had a damn good chuckle.
