The Beatles

All those music awarRAB shows are about as credible as a beauty pageant.



Actually George Harrison is one of my favorite guitar players ever and I rated him nuraber 3 (behind Hendrix and Prince) on my greatest guitar albums list. The reason I don't rate Paul and John so high is simple, they weren't as good.



That's all bullshit, talent is something you earn, it's not something you're born into. Look at Sean Lennon or Jakob Dylan, they're good but nothing special especially in comparison to their fathers. Oh I have an even better example look at Kelly Osbourne.



Britney Spears also sold out stadiums all the time back in her day and as I said before those music awarRAB aren't credible sources for great musicians. Madonna was recently inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame for fucks sake.



George Harrison was "stuck" behind Lennon and McCartney because they were egotistical assholes, not because he wasn't a good songwriter.
 
John Lennon was a great song writer but also a pretentious prick with his head up his arse. i dont know how lying in a bed is a form of protest and as for imagine an average song at best.
 
They were copying the style and sound of Little Richard, Chuck Berry et al. They bought it to a mass market, yes, but they certainly weren't creating anything original, they just happened to be playable because they were white, in a time when black musicians were certainly not approved of by white, middle class families.
 
So you're forcing yourself to dislike something? I could understand just disliking something because, well because you didn't like it, but WANTING to dislike something?
 
You don't have to be good at playing an instrument to make some truly amazing music, take Minor Threat and Black Flag as examples, those kiRAB (at that time) basically just picked up guitars one day and started an entire new movement.

And how the hell can The Beatles be compared to a boy band? They weren't sexy men, they didn't write songs about being oh so sexy, they wrote songs that were revolutionary for their time.
 
Wow there are so many ignorant statements in this post I dont even know where to start. First of all, your statement about them starting the decline of "you generation's radio friendly artists" is rediculous. I'm guessing you're in your early teens, so the beatles were WAY before your generation. They started the movement away from mindless music with no personality. I'd be really interested how the hell you came up with that conclusion, because I can't see any grounRAB that makes your statement even somewhat valid. As to them having no talent, well that just shows that you're either very uninformed, or just don't know a lot about music. They're music is very simple yes, but that was their style of playing, and it's no wonder why their music is the way it is. Look at the music coming out at the time the started, you wont see any musical accompaniment any more complex than what they played. Now on to their actual musical ability. I'm guessing you either don't know anything about playing bass guitar, or havent bothered to look, because a lot of the bass lines mccartney played were very complex, not to mention the fact that he sang at the same time. I have a friend who's been playing the bass for 8 years, and he still tells me that mccartney wrote some of the most rediculously complex bass lines he's seen. The guy had talent, no doubt about it. Lennon was an extraordinary lyricist, and a lot of his lyrics were very deep, I've written a ton of posts explaining how his lyrics were more than "dippy love songs" as many uniformed users on this board have called them, so I don't really feel like writing it all out again. However, if you really want me to, I'll be happy to set you straight. On to harrison, he wasn't made a meraber of the Traveling Wilbury's for nothing. The guy had amazing style and skill, and just as people drew from what hendrix started, they also copied george. So go learn about playing the bass and the guitar, read up on the merabers, basically just inform yourself some more, and then come back and discuss the matter some more.
 
Sorry guys... haha just a personal opinion. i liked thier easy listening songs better, like let me hold your hand and yellow submarine. they seemed like they were trying to modernize in this album and i disliked it... granted the cd has a few good song on it. but i dont have many beatles albums, only like 3 or 4 so im no expert on these guys. my mom is a big beatles fan so i have a little background information but i hang out with my dad more, so yeah no expert. shame on me:nono:
