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...

[giveitago]

I like - but then they were many years ago - but shit - nice to hear songs that have some grammar going on eh?

[Kaloki]

Quite carmensandiego.

[giveitago]

Still find it odd that people try to compare elvis with beatles. Why do they do that?

[Nancy66]

The Beatles were amazing.

The fact that not a single one of the X Factor lot could make one of their songs sound half decent is testament to how skilful the songwriting, melodies and beat is - not a sure sign of how shit they were.

[giveitago]

I think sinatra once said the the best love song ever was 'something' which was george harrison.

[tillywee]

YANBU...overrated band, I guess I just don't get them

[CarmenSanDiego]

Not comparing Elvis with the Beatles, just pointing out that they didn't come out of the blue and revolutionise music. They were part of a much wider evolution and all the comments about the 50s being squeaky clean or there being no good music until the Beatles showed up or there being no pop music without them are all nonsense. Elvis and a load of other artists and groups are the evidence.

[giveitago]

Oh yeah - love elvis - but the beatles were later and whole different ball game. I think they were great. Was never that keen on rock n roll.
