The Beatles


What the hell is the fascination with the beatles??? Please can anyone tell me why anybody likes them??? They were horrible musicians, their music was sugarcoated pop with cute hooks and they took themselves to be serious music writers with a message. Beethoven would probably would have laughed

Treyhoss, they were my wife's. I did not marry her for her musical tastes nor she for mine. As for musical growth that
is always someone's interpretation. I will gleefully give the Beatles' the title of kings of pop music and pop culture. They probably were responsible for getting pop
music out its doldrums from FValli, et al. In the context
of pop music they expanded the horizons beyond what people
expected of pop music and pop culture, but did they expand
my horizons of what I thought music should be? The answer
is that I looked elsewhere. GThomas and I agree that our worlds are different, so be it. Your worldview and mine
are just different that's all. I learned that from this
thread which to me was a thrill....really!!!!
So I guess you got the answer(s) as to what our fascination is and why we like them:) I agree - to each their own.
To all those who don't like the Beatles, I blame your parents.
Your momma don't dance and your daddy don't rock n' roll.
