    That’s ****ing asinine; Beatles have more hits, more diversity in their music/sound, and better personalities in each band member.

    I had a thought the other day:

    Fantasy is just medieval sci-fi. Agree?

    And why is that?




    Also, I do think Final Fantasy VIII is a better game than VII, but VII is still my favorite. What do you think between the two?

    The Beach Boys are really close. Their music is incredible and they're really talented. But the Beatles have all that plus the cult of personality.

    I don't think you've heard the later Beach Boys stuff...

    Brandon as for sci Fi vs. fantasy... Real sci Fi is all about the moral and ethical questions arising from new technologies. That is sci Fi. Not being set in space. It's why Star Wars is fantasy, not sci Fi

    So no, medieval fantasy is not just sci Fi set in the past. You don't seem to understand sci Fi and think it's just things like Star Wars that are set in space. That's not it at all.

    Yeah I was going to say, it’s the other way around. A lot (not all obviously) of sci-fi is fantasy but in space.

    Star Trek 1966 to 2005 is moderate to hard sci fi. 2009 to present Trek is...not.

    I... like The Beach Boys better than The Beatles.

    Now, I acknowledge that The Beatles are more influential, and more important in music history, but I prefer The Beach Boys' music.

    Can we still be friends? :p

    I thought about saying "butting heads" instead but finally went with something simpler.

    A big difference between the Beatles and the Beach Boys is that Lennon and McCartney were encouraged and celebrated by the people around them as geniuses, and as a result they made multiple masterpiece albums. Brian Wilson was a lone genius who was berated as an idiot by his abusive father/manager and had to deal with being in the same band as ****ing Mike Love. As a result he made "Good Vibrations," Pet Sounds and then just fell apart.
