Helter Skelter vs. I Can See for Miles

So which song is "louder"?

Paul McCartney made Helter Skelter after seeing that Pete Townshend of The Who named his new single, "I Can See for Miles" the loudest song they ever wrote. Helter Skelter was McCartney's response. Please leave a comment explaining which song is louder, better, or just comment on how great they both are.

I prefer Helter Skelter, of course, Beatles Forever .......

George was better, and I love Townsend.

I have no preference and respect all of their collaborative work and single ventures.

Pete would be the first to tell you that Harrison had it down... he paid his dues, and Pete was playing "catch up".

But, they really never were playing against each other to see who was "King".

Hell, in their days Eric was God!

(And, may still be.)

I prefer "I Can See For Miles" by The Who. One of my favourite songs.

It's kind of hard to choose, I mean I like I Can See For Miles better, and The Beatles are my favorite band. Helter Skelter is heavier, but I Can See For Miles has better lyrics and is more catchy, I love both songs, but I gotta say I Can See For Miles is better.

Well Clearly Beatles is Loder But I Can See For Miles is My Fav Who Song George Was A Great Guitarist and i think Pete was too but George was more heavy on the song Helter Skelter John Enwistle Was A Great Bassist no Doubt i prefer him Paul Was Great too but John was better KEITH MOON IS THHEEE GREATEST DRUMMER THERE EVER WAS SO NO CONTEST MOONIE WINS BUT seeing as ringo was not drumming on this i can understand why the drumming was a little weird..they were both great The Greatest Band Ever <3

THE WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[DeKleikop]

Which song is louder? It seems like Helter Scelter is recorded with a higher volume, my opinion.

If both songs were played life, then I put my money on The Who.

Both are great songs though.

@abt7217tc Harrison was a better Guitarist, sub par??? thats bull shit. Ringos drumming was never terrible, pauls was when ringo guit during the white album, and McCartney was one of the most melodic base players ever(listen to rain, old brown shoe, Octopuses Garden, Something, as well as their live at the BBC recordings.) Lennon/McCartney and harrison wrote some of the greatest songs of all time, THe whos claim to fame is tommy and maybe whos next. Every beatles album was an achievement

wow George Harrison's leads on Helter skelter destroy Townshend's on I can see for miles.... honestly i think Harrison was just a all around better lead guitarist...
