Maybe some of you boners should tell us what it is about The Beatles that you dislike so. Because I can't begin to wrap my mind around this.

Re: So who here doesn't really like the Beatles
I resent the fact that they have so many awful, trite, cheesy songs that people consider "classics". "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" is on the same level as The Fixer. They have two clever albums, Sgt. Pepper's and the White Album. Two great albums doesn't make a great band now, and so I don't think it's fair to say it did then either.

Re: So who here doesn't really like the Beatles
90% of it is the vocals for me. it's that simple really. cant get past them. I'm sure they are really amazing and they did all this amazing stuff that no one ever did and blablabla... little of it really connects to me.

I just played it now and decided I cannot be the unabashed apologist for it that I have been up till now.BurtReynolds wrote:wait don't you like The Fixer?harmless wrote:I resent the fact that they have so many awful, trite, cheesy songs that people consider "classics".

Joke. I don't hate The Fixer, but it's not The Beatles... or are you telling me it is? Am I supposed to think it's fine that The Beatles are on the same level as The Fixer, and that's why they're so lauded?

But they also recorded Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road and Let It Be. So your point doesn't apply.harmless wrote:Two great albums doesn't make a great band now, and so I don't think it's fair to say it did then either.

Re: So who here doesn't really like the Beatles
Trust me, I have tried to like the Beatles. Honestly sat down, focused and tried to get it. Maybe it's the poppiness. Maybe its the lyrics. Maybe I cant take it seriously. I don't have a good answer beyond that the music just doesn't move me at all.durdencommatyler wrote:Maybe some of you boners should tell us what it is about The Beatles that you dislike so.

Re: So who here doesn't really like the Beatles
Their body of work is so vast and varied. How much of it have you listened to? Seems to me there's something for everyone in what they did. But not being able to get past the vocals would make the rest difficult, I admit.BurtReynolds wrote:90% of it is the vocals for me. it's that simple really. cant get past them.
