To really hate The Beatles?

[notnowbernard]

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...

[Memoo]

Half of em are dead anyway

[maktaitai]

i still love abbey road

but agree that gimme shelter and quite a few other rolling stones songs are better than the fabs any day

[daftpunk]

Yabu and clearly no Zero about music.

[ZZZenAgain]

preferthe Stones

[southeastastra]

yes lol i think it helps if you smoke a little

i love both and drive dp mad playing youtube old beatles stuff

white album is so nice! number nine

[TheNextMrsDepp]

YABU.

Superb songwriters; some of their early stuff is somewhat dated, but most of it still knocks spots off the rubbish that is churned out at the moment.

[greentea72]

yanbu - always thought them overated

[perfumedlife]

Although I do have an original Hard Days Night album, was dads. Some of the ballads on there are lovely, And I love for, When I fell and so on.

[Vallhala]

Behave you lot!

What do/did they have going for them?

Hey Jude, Eleanor Rigby and Taxman! That's it!

What's more, Liza Radley is pretty much the bottom half of Eleanor Rigby and as good, if not better, as Eleanor Rigby, and Start! may be a bastardised version of Taxman, but it's an improvement on it too. :)

[whoknowswhatthefutureholds]

yabu - Sometimes is my favourite ever song.

[southeastastra]

i like rocky racoon

[Tortington]

oh thank god! i have never net anyone else who thinks this way. they are like the band that shall not be besmirched and i have no idea why.

[Rockbird]

OK, I'll venture that Here, There and Everywhere makes me cry a little bit, but otherwise it's tosh!

[ZZZenAgain]

me neither custardo

[Hassled]

I'm starting to understand how I would feel if I had a religious faith and couldn't fathom how it wasn't shared :o. You heathens are just baffling the hell out of me.

[MerrilyDefective]

Can't stick them....BORING...and i'm old enough to know think better.

[notnowbernard]

Hassled

[retiredgoth2]

You are being VVVV unreasonable.

Yes the beatification (see what I did there?) can be irritating. Yes some of the most famous songs (yesterday for example) are a trifle ordinary. But the best Beatles music is the finest, most ground breaking music I know.

I was just about to start a thread (honestly!) about the Beatles. I've been listening to Revolver tonight.

It is perfection

No song longer than three minutes, each supremely crafted pieces of utter wonder.

And it is my belief that all popular music since 1966 owes it a debt.

[notnowbernard]

RetiredGoth are you Noel Gallagher

[PaisleyLeaf]

Sacrilege! yabu
What about 'Day in the Life', 'Strawberry fields', 'Something', Come Together', 'Dear Prudence', 'Because', 'While my Guitar...' - I could go on (and on) myself. I love so many of them.

[DuelingFanjo]

YANBU, they suck.

I also really can't understand why people thing Lennon was any good? That Imagine song is just awful!

[Hassled]

retiredgoth2 - at last a man of sense. I heard Tomorrow Never Knows the other day - hadn't listened to it for ages - and was just in awe.

[woolymindy]

Yes I hate them too, you are being entirely reasonable.

[daftpunk]

Is that the only JL song you know?

[retiredgoth2]

Noel Gallagher?



I am, in fact, David Gedge.
