I'm sorry but the beatles suck way too much for me. they were so pathetic and stupid all along and everyone fell for them because of mind control put out by the british government. you know what band is way better? i'm sorry, but the jonas brothers are a million times more talented. theyre just fresh, ya know? and american.
so how normal am i for hating the beatles? who else hates the most overrated band ever?

The Beatles INVENTED, or at the very least contributed the most toward genre hybridization. They were fresh, with a new sound like nothing you've ever heard before. They created the precursors to metal, punk, modern pop, psychedelic rock, pretty much any new genre that you can think of. I believe that just about any modern musician can trace their inspirations back to the Beatles. It may take multiple degrees of separation, but don't underestimate the vast influence they continue to have on popular music today.
Pitiful though, I'm guessing you like Justin Bieber as well
Other than that, The Beatles? Screaming? The hell, extreme vocals weren't even around back then. You've gotta be pretty damn confused laddie.
Lol@ mind control though. I always assumed that was what sold out Mariah Carey gigs...
not liking the beatles for me is like not liking sunshine
A lot of the Beatles' rock is basic, but that makes for good rock'n'roll. But they experimented with sounds, styles and time signatures and, in the end, produced a body of work that is impressive.
Perhaps you hate the Beatles because you've heard too much on the radio. You're not abnormal for hating a band, but just accept the fact that most people love the Beatles and that there's a reason for that: good music and good memories associated with it.
The Beatles AINT Like Marmite... You either Love Them or Are Deaf.
Im Judge Hollie.. CASE CLOSED.
Beatles Forever!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. the beatles have a better name & totally not overrated. the jonas brother however, are.
End of
2. The Jonas Brothers more fresh and talented? My ARSE! Even Hanson were more fresh and talented. And they were American too.
3. British government, blah, blah. Pft, that's just stupid. And to bash The Beatles for not being American? That's stupid too. That American superiority complex is why a lot of other nations hate you. Conspiracy theories are usually just dumb.
No, I'm not British at all, although I'm not American either. Dude, you have many other American bands which are/were more talented and refreshing than the Jonas Brothers and that's all that you can mention? What about the Pixies, Sonic Youth, etc? Oh, and by the way I don't think The Bealtes are the most overrated, maybe Nirvana or Radiohead.
Radiohead - I disagree. Not overrated; they're a one-of-a-kind band. When OK Computer came out in 1997 I just sat there slack-jawed listening to it...I didn't know such music was possible.
however, if you're older than 16 i think you should realize that without the beatles, you probably wouldn't have the jonas brothers. the majority of the bands you hear nowadays were probabily influenced by the beatles or influenced by bands who were influenced by the beatles. therefore, no beatles, no popular music as we know it.
thanks to all the beatles fans for all the fun info. :P
i grew up listenin to the beatles. theyre awesome.
jonas bro. can go have more gay sex w/ eachother. hahaha.
your entitled to your opinion obviously, but im afriand your clearly outnumbered friend.
The Jonas Brothers????????! In a year they will be forgotten like the other boy bands.
(I also refuse to capitalize the beatles. That would infer some form of importance.)
Actually when the beatles first came over they had some harmony and a little bit of talent, singing mostly happy, peace, and love songs. Then they quickly got drugged out, started to really suck, and sing mostly about drugs and being stoned. This is funny because a lot of beatles fans will get enraged and threaten to kill you if you say they suck; ergo to reiterate about the peace and love theme of the beatles.
What I hate about them most are the brain dead retarded drugged out dirty hippies whose only arguments are they were the greatest band ever, and they influenced ALL music forever with no facts or evidence. Then they call you a brain dead retard just for simply saying you don't care for the beatles.
4 British panzies with the help of the media and advertising did all of this in just a few years.
Now I know how Clinton and Obama got into office!
You can say you don't like the Beatles' style. But it is quite narrow to say they sucked (you make yourself look like a fool) by taking them out of context and comparing them to the 2000's pop culture.
You can do better!
kz if you looked at the Jonas Brothers & see their style in clothes, hair, music... they're the beatles of the new millenium you douche! they're like the best. have you evn listened to any of their songs? and i dont mean they're popular songs that everyone knows the beatles for like twist & shout or can't buy me love. how about listening to their real stuff b4 you judge!
2.)The Beatles are the greatest band there EVER will be and some of the greatest humans.
3.)If there's one thing in this world that IS NOT overrated (that's not much) it's The Beatles.
4.)The Jonas Brothers? they're pretty much Disney Channel material and nothing else and
5.) what's up with "and they're american" thing? who cares what nationality a band is???
other than that, you're normal.I'm sure there are tons of people who would side with you, but don't count me.
THE BEATLES!!!! <3
But, I have to disagree with you on one matter you stated. You said Jonas Brothers are better. I may hate The Beatles but I will never say the Jonas Brothers are best. The Jonas Brothers are overrated, too! You said they were "fresh". Believe it or not, but the "fresh" music we listen to today is just plain awful! I don't know what the hell happened to rock'n'roll! Well, actually I know when. It died on August 16, 1977. The death of Elvis Presley. The King of not only rock'n'roll but music itself. He started every single rock band out there. He broke the ice, he stepped over the boundaries for music. He risked his life for crying out loud for rock'n'roll. The absolute legend. The King of Music is, and always will be, Elvis Presley
But I also fucking hate the Jonas brothers.
so yeah..
It's just a problem that people create whitout realising. Just ignore the music, but i bet if you listen to the radio you dont notice any songs but when beatles come your like :O dam beatles i hate them. =)?
If its not then you should sincerely be executed. The idea of someone who thinks this way reproducing makes me want to castrate myself and suck on an exhaust pipe.
I mean, of course I don't expect everyone to enjoy listening to The Beatles, but the Jonas Brothers comment (and hating) was just vomit inducing.
Advice to the original poster - don't become a comedian. You might end up the way Sansimage feels about your story lol!
...the Beatles!!! Yay!!!!!
Metallica Is Better
However, not liking something, whatever it is and regardless the general opinion, is normal, not so common, but normal. What is not so is to be into so grotesquely absurd conspiracy theories. Playing the jingoist, chauvinist all-american thing, is, unfortunately, also normal...
1. They fell for them cuz they were cute
2. Jonas Brothers suck
P.s.
THEY ARE GAY
Yet one more thing that drugs emphasised and made far cooler than it would have been alone.
My class had a discussion about this very thing today really ironic. A kid only liked rap and nothing else, and he kept ranting about how beatles in particular sucked, then my teacher asks "How many songs by them have you heard" the kid replies "uhh...none." Your personality in particular i love to make fun of... imean, jonas brothers? wtf is that? Let's see how good they can play "While my guitar gently weeps" with their fake disney guitars (as they shove it up their butts, referencing the jonas' obvious homosexuality.)
He also says that John Lennon showed on Paul's rocker Get Back why he should have played lead guitar more often because he did such a good job of it. He also said he played a pretty good slide guitar on George's For Your Blue and he said John also played one of the first and best acid guitar parts on his great rocker Revolution.
"Moreover they were among the few artists of *any* discipline that were simultaneously the best at what they did *and* the most popular at what they did." THey also say as singers John Lennon and Paul McCartney were among the best and most expressive in rock.
Also on an excellent site,The Evolution of Rock Bass Playing McCartney Style by Dennnis Alstrand,Stanley Clarke,Sting,Will Lee,Billy Sheehan,George Martin and John Lennon are quoted saying what a great,melodic and influential bass player Paul has always been'
And Wilco's John Stirratt was asked in Bass Player which bass players have had the most impact on his playing and the first thing he said was, Paul McCartney is one of the greatest bass players of all time,if you listen to what he was tracking live in the studio it's unbelievable." "With his tone and musicality he was a huge influence,he covered all of his harmonic responsibilities really well but his baselines were absolutely melodic and inventive."
And in an online 1977 Eric Clapton interview,Eric Clapton In His Own Words he says that there was always this guitar game between John and George,and he said partly because John was a pretty good guitar player himself.He played live with John as a member of John's 1969 Plastic Ono Band.
And there is a great online article by musician and song writer Peter Cross,The Beatles Are The Most Creative Band Of All Time and he says that many musicians besides him recognize Paul as one of the best bass guitar players ever.He too says that John and Paul are the greatest song composers are among the 2 greatest singers in rock and that John,Paul and George were all excellent guitarists and that George is underrated by people not educated about music but that ERic Clapton knew better,he also says that both John and Paul played great leads as well as innovative rhythm tracks.
John Lennon co-wrote,sang and played guitar on one of David Bowie's first hits Fame and David invited John to play guitar on his version of John's beautiful Beatles song Across The Universe in 1975.Brain May,Ozzy Osbourne,and Liam Gallagher and many more call The Beatles The Greatest Band Ever.
Also on MusicRadar Tom Petty,Joe Perry and Richie Sambora in What The Beatles Mean To Me all say how cool and great they thought The Beatles were when they first saw them on THe Ed Sullivan Show in Februar 1964 when they were just teen boys,Richie was only 5.Tom Petty said he thought they were really really great.
John Lodge and Justin of The Moody Blues are interviewed in this book and Bill Wyman and Ron Wood says how The Rolling Stones became good friends with The Beatles in 1963 after John and Paul wrote 1 of their first hits,the Rock n Roll song,I Wanna Be You're Man.
Ron Wood was asked what his favorite Beatles songs and he said there are so many apart from the obvious like Strawberry Fields I Want To Hold Your Hand is one he said he used to like a lot ,and he said he really loved We Can Work It Out.He also says that The Beatles used to have a radio show every Friday where they played live and spoke and he would never miss an episode. He said infact whoever has the rights to those shows should dig them up,because they are incredible.
Justin Hayward says that the album he always really loved ,and he said it was when they started experimenting with chord structures ,was A Hard Day's Night.He says they began to move away from the standard 3 chord thing and just went into more interesting structures .He said A Hard Day's Night was the album for him and their song If I Fell was the song.He said it started in a different key to how it ended up,and it's a beautifully worked out song and that there are some songs on that album that were very emotinal and evocative. He said that for everybody just starting to write songs as he was,it was a real turn on and eye opener.

Bob Dylan talks of Beatles friendship
Legend admits: 'I'm in awe of McCartney'
May 16, 2007
Bob Dylan has spoken in depth about his longstanding friendship with The Beatles and his particular bond with George Harrison.
Talking to Rolling Stone magazine, Dylan talked freely about Harrison’s struggle to find his voice within the songwriting collective of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
"George got stuck with being the Beatle that had to fight to get songs on records because of Lennon and McCartney. Well, who wouldn’t get stuck?" he asked.
Dylan highlighted the writing talents of Harrison, saying: "If George had had his own group and was writing his own songs back then, he’d have been probably just as big as anybody."
Speaking against popular belief, the singer also denounced any rumours of competitiveness towards Lennon and McCartney, asserting, "They were fantastic singers. Lennon, to this day, it’s hard to find a better singer than Lennon was, or than McCartney was and still is."
Nodding his cap to McCartney in particular, Dylan concluded: "I’m in awe of McCartney. He’s about the only one that I am in awe of. He can do it all. And he’s never let up... He’s just so damn effortless.
In 2006,2007 and 2008 The Beatles were the # 1 most listened music artists on Last.FM and they are very popular on YouTube and Rate Your Music where many male and female fans in their teens and 20's call them The Greatest Rock Band Ever!
The Beatles are still rightfully regarded by most people,most rock critics,and many other music and rock artists as The most creative,innovative,and prolific rock band ever!
As many people even some Rolling Stones fans have said, The Rolling Stones haven't made a great record in at least 25 years or more.
And they copied The Beatles in many ways including trying to rip off Sgt.Pepper with their Satanic Majesties Request album and in October 1965 George Harrison was the first to play a sitar on a opo rock record on The Beatles brilliant folk rock album Rubber Soul,& then in May 1966 Brain Jones played a sitar on Paint It Black.Also as a poster Sal66 who also has posted great information debunking ignorant garbage about The Beatles,(& he gives detailed examples of innovative they really were)pointed out that The Beatles I Feel Finewhich as The All Music Guide says has brilliant,active difficult guitar leads &riffs & the first use of feedback guitar on a pop rock record,came out almost a *before* The Rolling Stones Satisfaction.
to start writing their own songs.
The Beatles wrote *plenty* of great rock songs including hard rock on The White Album and Abbey Road and as many have rightfully pointed out Paul invented heavy metal with his 1968 song Helter Skelter and people have also said John's I Want You She's So Heavy on Abbey road was also one of the first heavy metal songs.
Even in their early days they wrote some great rockers that were very rocky for the times, as The All Music Guide said,in their very good review of Past Masters Volume 1 that they proved they could rock really really hard,with John's I Feel Fine from late 1964 which featured the very recorded feedback guitar on a rock song,and Paul's great blues rocker,She's A Woman also from late 1964,and what they called the peerless I'm Down which is Paul's screaming rocker from mid 1965 which they performed even harder rocking, and screaming in August 1965 at Shea Stadium.
Also John's You Can't Do That from early 1964,is a great rock song,so is Day Dripper,Paperback Writer, And You're Bird Can Sing, She Said She Said,Taxman,Oh Darling,Hey Bulldog etc!
Pete also along with Phil Collins who is also a big Beatles fan since he was 13 in the concert scene in the Beatles film A Hard Day's Night, played on Paul's 1986 album Press To Play.
And I have found over 50 former Beatles haters on different message boards who are now big Beatles fans,many call them The Greatest Rock Band Ever and most say they now think they were brilliant song writers. I didn't communicate with these people, but they said in their posts that they hadn't even heard most of their songs and albums,and had inaccurate misperceptions of them like the ridiculous one that they ever were a "boy band." Which besides knowing even most of their music and knowing their history knows is totally false.
Last year a musician posted on some message board about the new John Lennon biography, and he said watch The Beatles Anthology video series and learn how truly immensely talented this band was.
Most people don't hate The Beatles in the first place and people don't usually go from hating a band to loving them, so it just goes to show how great and timeless their music really is/was!
I once found a post a few years ago of a 35 year old musician in Jamaica who said on his blog that when he was younger and a big Who fan he used to think The Beatles were overrated, but that he did a 300 degree turn around and he said he now truly believes that The Beatles were the greatest rock band ever.
As a poster Reverend Rock who is a Reverend and a rock musician and a big Beatles fan said on a classic rock site a few years ago,that anybody who knows The Beatles history knows it's ludicrious to even suggest that The Beatles were ever a "boy band"!
And true boy bands don't play their own instruments,(they only sing and dance),they don't write tons of critically acclaimed,popular,classic songs including many great rock songs and The Beatles wrote more than a few great rock songs in their early days,boy bands don't revolutionize popular and rock music,are very innovative,creative & prolific as The Beatles were,and don't have their songs the most covered in music historty by everyone from jazz,classical,Motown,rock,and even heavy metal recording and playing their great timeless music.
Boy bands also don't have academic musicologists doing serious studies and analyses and praise of their music,like university of Penn graduate AlanW.Pollack who did an 11 year detailed analyses of every Beatles song and his study is online,and shows how The Beatles used unusual,interesting and even complex chords even in their early songs from 1963 and 1964.As Bob Dylan,Roger McGuinn and in December 1963 The London Times musicologist William Mann,all pointed out too.
They also don't have musicologists like university of Michigan music professor and musician Walter Everett who wrote the 2 volume,THe Beatles As Musicians:Th Quarry Men Though Rubber Soul, and The Beatles As Musicians:REvolver Through Anthology.And British musicologist,classical composer and music professor Willifrid Mellers 1973 book,Twilight Of The Gods;The Music Of The Beatles which was the first serious music study of their music,and he also wrote about Beethoven,Mozart,and Bob Dylan.
Boy bands also don't have award winning music professors teaching college courses like award winning music professor and classical composer Dr.Glen Gass who has been teaching a course on what brilliant composers they were and a course on rock music since 1982 at Indiana University School of Music.
They don't write hits for other artists as early as 1963, like THe Beatles did for BillyJ.Krammer and The Dakotas,Celia Black,Peter and Gordon,and a rock n roll song,I Wanna Be You're Man given to The Rolling Stones which became one of The Rolling Stones first hits,and which they wrote right in fron of them and Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were impressed and were like,wow how can you write a song just like that and it inspired them to start writing their own songs.
The Rolling Stones were good friends with The Beatles and Mick Jagger was at 4 Beatles recording sessions and Keith Richards was at 2 of them with him.
If you still insist the false ludicrous claim that The early Beatles were ever a "boy band" then you are just further proving the title of this topic,your stupidity.When The Beatles played live in 1963,64,65 & 66 they only had 100 watt amplifiers,no feedback monitors so they couldn't hear themselves sing and play,plus the screaming crowds and that's why they gave up touring.
George Harrison says in The Beatles Anthology video series,that for their August 1965 Shea Stadium concerts, special 100 watt amplifiers were made and that they went up from only 30 watts before. Given how limited and primitive the sound systems were then,it's amazing they sounded as good as they did live.
Former Kiss guitarist Bob Kulick who produced the heavy metal album Butchering The Beatles, said he saw The Beatles in concert in 1966 and he said he could hear parts of Baby's In Black & Paperback Writer and they sounded amazing.
A guy Steve from Canada said on Artist Facts,that he saw The Beatles live in 1966 and The Stones in 1996(and the sound systems by then were a zillion times better!) and he said don't get me wrong,The Stones were great but they were no match for The Beatles and he called The Beatles The Greatest Band Of All Time.
And a guy said on a message board in September, said that he too once wrongly believed that the early Beatles were a boy band like The Back Street Boys,until he got out of 7th grade.The Beatles started out playing 8 hours a night in the sleazy strip clubs of Hamburg Germany,taking speed pills to stay awake,wearing tight black leather jackets and pants,smoking and cursing on stage,and had sex with so many young women groupies including the strippers in those clubs,they were successful there. They also played successfully in the Liverpool Cavern Club for years.
Even many fans of The Rolling Stones who are also Beatles fans, said on several Rolling Stones message boards,and Beatles fans said this on Beatles fan boards,that THe Beatles cleaned up image was a total fake one created by their manager,and that they know that The Beatles were just as wild as The Stones with sex and drugs in their personal lives and were friends who hung out together.
And I don't want to be on bad terms with anyone on here, and I'm not trying to bother anybody ,but I really am just trying to debunk this totally inaccurate ridiculous unfortunately common myth that The Beatles were ever a boy band,they were a great *ROCK n ROLL* band from the start!
John and George especially hated Beatle Mania,and George says in The Anthology series,that it took a toll on their nervous systems,they had no life either trapped in hotel rooms most of the time. They wanted to be popular & successful as every band does,but they didn't want or ask for the hysteria.John says in his 1975 Tomorrow Show interview that the screaming wasn't doing the music any good,and that things would break down and nobody would know.
The Beatles sound great on their live roof top January 1969 concert in The Let It Be Film, and the sound systems had improved by then,(although still very limited compared to today's) and there were no more screaming crowds.
And as I already said The Rolling Stones were good friends with and fans of The Beatles.
Mick Jagger was at 4 Beatles recording sessions and Keith Richards was at 2 of them with him.Also Mick Jagger was such a big Beatles fan that in May 1967 when The Beatles were redording their song Baby You're A Rich Man he came there and stood on the sidelines to watch and listen to them recording it. His name is also on the tape box and he likely sang at the end verses.
Also Mick Jagger said that Keith Richards loved The Beatles and loved their beautiful melodies and harmonies and that Keith and Brian Jones tried to equal them but he said Brian couldn't sing good enough!Charlie is obviously envious with sour grapes,The Beatles remastered albums sold much more 40 years after their break up than The Rolling Stones remastered albums and they are still together! The Beatles have the best selling album of the last decade with their CD 1.
And Brian Jones played the saxaphone on the strange Beatles song, You Know My Name Look Up The Number and he and Mick Jagger's girlfriend at the time Marriane Faithful contributed sound effects on the song Yellow Submarine.
As this guy Sal66 who has also posted on sites debunking ignorant cr*p about The Beatles has rightfully pointed out, The Beatles wrote,played and recorded I Feel Fine (which The All Music Guide says has brilliant,active ,difficult guitar leads and riffs) in the Fall of 1964 which was the first use of feedback guitar on a pop rock record and it also had a prominent guitar riff throughout this very good song almost a year *before* The Rolling Stones's Satisfaction came out.
Paul also says in this book that he turned Mick on to pot in his music room and he said which is funny because a lot of people would assume it was the other way around.
The Beatles revolutionized popular and rock music,and were very innovative,creative & prolific and no other group was as much as The Beatles were,and their songs the most covered in music historty by ev are the most covered of all time with everyone
from jazz,classical,Motown,rock,and even heavy metal recording and playing their great timeless music.
Many academic musicologists and music scholars have done serious studies and analyses and praise of their music,like university of Penn graduate AlanW.Pollack who did an 11 year detailed analyses of every musicologists like university of Michigan music professor and musician Walter Everett who wrote the 2 volume,THe Beatles As Musicians:Th Quarry Men Though Rubber Soul, and The Beatles As Musicians:REvolver Through Anthology.And British musicologist,classical composer and music professor Willifrid Mellers 1973 book,Twilight Of The Gods;The Music Of The Beatles and he also wrote about Beethoven,Mozart and Bob Dylan.
And award winning music professors teaching college courses like award winning music professor and classical composer Dr.Glen Gass who has been teaching a course on what brilliant composers they were and a course on rock music since 1982 at Indiana University School of Music. Dr.Gary Kendal's Beatles course is the most requested North Western University,and Oxford University recently had a Beatles course so does The university of California etc. How many serious music scholars,musicologists and award winning music professors and composers are teaching colleg courses and writing serious academic works on how brilliant The Rolling Stones were?
Well... that was great! (But I love the Beatles)
score: 1 Beatles, -7 J. B.
Na just kidding, your opinion mate you can choose,for me, I love 'em!!!
Kill yourself!
Its a bit unfair saying they are good just because they're American and the Beatles are just respected, their music is not the best NOW but sure was then, mostly because they were one of the first British bands to make it in the US which is a huge achievement and I doubt the Jonas Brothers will be cared about even 5 years from now, sorry but they suck!
I never listen to them anymore. I'm really done with them, and there is so much better stuff since them that I see no reason to feel obligated to pay them any mind.
But there was a time when I never changed radio stations when it was playing a Beatle tune.
Jonas brothers gay
Metal,Grunge Yeahhh
i don't hate them though. the band i really hate that sucks big big time is the Ramones. but i dont even hate them. i saw a film about them and i respected them a lot more afterward.
They are a LEGEND
Ever heard their song, "Glass Onion?" Yeah, that's them explaining their frustration because they found it "highly irritating" that fans read too much into their songs. Ask any lyrical interpreter - their songs were mainly about themselves, or drugs. They're not revolutionary, nor are they authentic. They're the 60's version of the Backstreet Boys at best...even THEY knew that. When they recruited Ringo Starr, he didn't even know how to play the drums! They had to have numerous "musician sessions" because he sucked so badly at it. Obviously, they were all recruited for their style, to sell products and become trendsetters.
All you Beatles loving hippies out there think their music is all about being "free" and "anti-war" when really it's just drug induced crap music to sell products. How many of you have all ready bought The Beatles version of Guitar Hero?
See, all you hippies really are just trendy mindless drones. Pshh. And The Beatles are probably laughing at you. I bet weed wouldn't even sell half as well as it does if it hadn't been for them. They sell you on the idea of being free, and then sell you marijuana so you'll be too lazy to do anything about it, and you all just drown in your own half-assed words. Advertisers know how "rebellious" our youth is...it's probably why marijuana is illegal. So they can make you sluggish and feel like a badass at the same time.
I bet The Beatles were in on this as well.
You guys are about as interesting as LC and Lo from Laguna Beach - it may be a different circumstance, but you're all making money off of an overly-advertised lifestyle.
First of all Ringo knew how to play the drums, he was very good at it. Countless drummers have said that Ringo has been their inspiration for taking up the drums, Mike Portnoy is one of them. He was also a famous drummer in Liverpool before the Beatles got him, so your point sucks. Try listening to Happiness is a warm gun, listen to the change in time signatures and see how flawlessly the beat follows, good drummers follow what Ringo could do, fit the music.
The Beatles werent revolutionary? Are you blind and deaf? you'd have to be both not to see what effect they have on their world, they changed rock 'n roll, they added harmonies and excitement to a relatively bland genre at the time. Their musical experimentations were huge, they became the most popular band to the most experimental band while still maintaining their popularity all over the world.
They stopped touring in '66, they broke up in '69. They had 7 years but that was all that was needed, they had 27 #1 hits in 7 years and if you compare those later hits to any #1 hit then you'd see how far the Beatles experimented. They made what is cliche now cliche. They sold a billion record by 1985.
When their remastered albums came out, they sold 2.5 million albums in 5 days, 40 years after they broke up, with no knew material/songs. They changed the world. Just look up in google "Beatles, Change, Revolutionary" and you'll see how they bettered the world.
Doing drugs is your OWN DOING, none of their songs have lyrical content that tells you to do drugs. Your an idiot if you blame the Beatles for your own wrong-doings.
Are we talking about the same band here? The BEATLES, right? 'Not the most innovative band in the world...'? Are you fucking kidding me?? THAT'S WHY THE BEATLES ARE SO FAMOUS. They were one of the most CREATIVE & ORIGINAL bands EVER. Whoever regards the Beatles as 'unoriginal' has the IQ of a baboon. And you clearly have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. By 'liking' the Beatles I assume you mean you don't change the dial on the radio whenever a Beatles song comes on. Have you ever studied the changes that band went through? How many times they reinvented themselves and changed the entire face of music? Do you realize that every #1 hit they had was for a reason? They were beautiful, original, innovative songs.
Not the most innovative band in the world?? Every album they came out with after 'Revolver' was completely different from the one before it!! Not only that, but their rate of musical output was something like 4 times what a normal band writes and records. They would come out with 2 albums a year, and each one was a completely new original world unto itself! You don't know what the fucking hell you're talking about...
