No matter what label they were on, they basically invented the indie aesthetic; at least the one most referred to here.
The Beatles: "I Saw Her Standing There" "I Feel Fine" "And Your Bird Can Sing" "Paperback Writer" "Taxman" "Lady Madonna" "Day Tripper" "Strawberry Fields Forever" "Got to Get You Into My Life" "I Am the Walrus" "Back in the USSR" "A Day in the Life" "She Said She Said" "Helter Skelter" "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey" "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" "Happiness is a Warm Gun" "You Never Give Me Your Money" "Come Together" "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" "Revolution" "Oh Darlin'!" "Rain" About 150 others... ...including "The End".

Most of the Hendrix catalog belongs in its own topic: Bad-ass Homesick Alien songs!!
 Hell, I just watched Woodstock. The whole thing is cool, but Jimi's WAY cooler (and he's the finale, so they knew it in the '60s too). "Naked Woman, Naked Man Where did you get that nice sun tan?" |

Markf, you and I have VERY different ideas of what constitutes "bad ass". The Beatles spent way too much time smiling when they sang their songs to be considered bad ass, imo. Their music is too freakin' happy and clean to be bad ass. |

Speaking of bands that played at Woodstock, I nominate The Who's "The Seeker". If that's not bad-ass, I don't know what is.

You're right in some ways, but you, and nobody else, ever saw the Beatles smile during 94% of those songs. You really think the Deftones are more badass than "Helter Skelter" or "Revolution"? Be my guest, but HA! "Naked Woman, Naked Man Where did you get that nice sun tan?" |

I don't consider any pop music to be bad ass. The Beatles were as poppy as they come. Even for their era they were poppy. I know you're a big Beatles fan, and i'll admit, i'm not. They don't do a thing for me, they don't move me, they don't inspire emotion in me, they don't affect me. And to me, they are the opposite of bad ass. Bad ass is raw, dirty, offensive, in your face, powerful, mean, and it doesn't care who get's in it's way cause it's bustin' through. To me, this isn't the Beatles. Steve McQueen didn't listen to the Beatles while he was screamin' down the road in his Mustang. |

Steve McQueen sure-as-fuckin'-hell screamed out "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?", but no, not in Bullitt, since that BADASS song hadn't been released yet.

My point wasn't that the Beatles, in the case of "why don't we do it in the road" Paul McCartney, never made what could be considered by some to be a bad ass song. My point was that the Beatles, generally speaking, did not write bad ass, Steve Mcqueen-esque music. They wrote la la la songs. They did get a little experimental and funky later on, but that's not the same as bad ass. |

So how about some bad songs about ass.
I'll nominate "Big Butts" because I've hated that song since Junior High. However, Spinal Tap's "Big Bottoms" is so bad it's awesome. Oh, and I also hate "The Thong Song". |

Eh, the Beatles may seem poppy, but they took a good amount of shit for their later Psych stuff. It wasn't really poppy at all.. it wasn't like Iggy Pop rolling on glass on stage while shouting expletives or James Chance trying to get people to fight him during a show, but they definitely were doing their own thing. And Helter Skelter is very badass. |

I think the best "bad-ass" song ever has got to be MANNISH BOY by Muddy Waters

I just heard a good one for this thread.
Bo Diddley - Shut Up, Woman So misogynistic, but it's a freakin awesome caveman love song at the same time. |

When I'm chain smoking and weight lifting, Antony & the Johnsons' "For Today I Am A Boy" does it for me.

"Goin' Out West" - Tom Waits is about as badass as it gets, in my book.
The "Royal Albert Hall" version of "Like a Rolling Stone" comes pretty damn close though. |
