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?

Lol@ mind control though. I always assumed that was what sold out Mariah Carey gigs...
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.
The Beatles AINT Like Marmite... You either Love Them or Are Deaf.
Im Judge Hollie.. CASE CLOSED.
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!
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.
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.
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!
not liking the beatles for me is like not liking sunshine
p.s. the beatles have a better name & totally not overrated. the jonas brother however, are.
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!
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.
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.
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...
Are we talking about the same band here? The BEATLES, right? 'Not the most innovative band in the world...'? Are you f**king 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 f**k 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 f**king hell you're talking about...
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.
