I find them a bit like a secret I've not been let in on

Find the music tres dull

I get the cultural significance etc but fucking hell, it's been 40-odd years...

Me three. And I really don't get the big fuss re Imagine. What a dull song.

As for Cher Lloyd Biscuit

It's not so much the music they wrote, but the music that stemmed from what they wrote IYKWIM.

I imagine music being produced now would be different if the Beatles had never existed.

I thought Imagine was just John Lennon.

YANBU. I've never seen the appeal, despite having spent my youth with music business crowd and dating a music journalist.

The music of my youth was very Beatles-influenced and I'm one of The Jam's biggest fans to this day but still I can't see what was ever so fab about the Four.

YANBU - so dull and annoying.

I dislike nearly all of it

I can handle bits of it (Sgt Pepper eg) but most sends me to sleep

Overrated is the word that springs to mind

I love other 60s stuff though

I really hate them as well. Overrated bunch who think they are God. Paul MacCartney is a talentless fool who trades on his past but forgets that a) it was long long ago and b) they were no great shakes to start with.

I'm a Jam fan as well and I'll take them any day.

YABVU. And I'm pretty sure that it's against the law to hate The Beatles.

You should wash your mouths out, you disbelievers Shock.

I don't understand how anyone can write off so many albums and such a huge range of styles - Love Me Do was a very long way from Because. And it's that range that has made them revered, I think.

Agree. The Beatles are well overrated. It's completely ruining my Saturday x factor experience!

I'd take the Beatles over the BeeGees any day though.
