seriously, you think sebadoh rocks? they have like three punkish songs, compared to 5000 too stoned to croak hippie bullshit songs.
and the beatles, well, john wrote imagine and woman, besides recording a whole album of sixties POP songs with phil "girl group" spector.

sinatra was a crooner, a standards singer, who sang a variety fo songs, but he was a complete and total popular music singer. he was NOT a jazz singer, and he was NOT an R&B singer
sebadoh - listen to smash yr head on the punk rock, harmacy, bakesale, bubble & scrape and tell me that gloriously noisy shit ain't
rock man.
as for your Lennon comment, the songs you mention were written after the beatles broke up, so they count nothing towards what I said about John rocking the Beatles. and his Spector produced album was ROCK SONGS man! Buddy Holly? Chuck Berry covers? How can you be so ignorant as to call that pop?
