Are you basing this off of heresay and the stuff you hear on the radio? Have you ever given albums like Revolver or Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band a spin?

No, Ive never picked up a Beatles album, I've never had a desire to. Ive seen the Yellow Submarine movie, heard all the songs on that album. meh. my next door neighbors as a child, their favorite band was the Beatles, so I'd hear it all the time. We (my next door neighbors and I) had a little childhood rivalry. The stones were my thing and the Beatles were theirs, and we'd always dis on each other about it. To sum it up, it doesn't feel like Rock and Roll to me, it doesn't click with me, it doesn't make me feel exited inside like most R&R does. Every time i hear "All you need is love" with that chant 'love, love, love" I cringe. I can't stand it. and Yellow Submarine? it sounds like a children sing-a-long song. Revolution is the only song by them that I almost like. The Beatles sound like a pop band from the 60's, which is what it was. imo it doesn't have the heart that the Stones do. sure, its got social and political significance, whatever, so does Bob Dylan, who whoops their ass. |
