Jantha Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Haha.. don't feel sorry. They are one of my favorites, but I know they're not for everyone. If it makes you feel better, I can't stand the stones or pink floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainNemo68 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I just bought "The White Album" mainly for nostalgia reasons. The Beatles are probably in my middle group - I simply like them. Don't be sorry about who you don't like music wise. Everybody has their own tastes. I dislike Led Zeppelin, the Grateful Dead, and the Doors (hate is too strong of a word I think).

swleary Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Yes maybe hate is a strong word, dislike I think is much better. I can't stand any of their stuff. However I respect them totally, not many musicians can say they did what they have done in their life time. Don't even get me started about the Rolling Stones, man I could go on and on about how much I dislike them lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Haha.. don't feel sorry. They are one of my favorites, but I know they're not for everyone. If it makes you feel better, I can't stand the stones or pink floyd. The Beatles have some good songs, same with the stones and pink floyd.

L5Larry Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I appreciate what the Beatles did, and the way they did it. I understand their place in Rock & Roll history. I agree that some of their songs will live forever as some of the greatest "pop" songs ever written. I realize that Beatles songs will be played on the radio for all eternity, BUT........ I was already sick and tired of hearing their music on the radio in 1970 when they broke up, and there seems to be no relief still to this day. Commercial radio has "ruined" many bands, and/or songs, for me by being OVERPLAYED. The Beatles have been overplayed, and overexposed since about 1965. I have endured 45 years of this barrage, and that's about 40 years too much. And don't even get me started about Beatles Tribute Bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky scott 29 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I always wondered how a band that can't hold a tune without a handle went so far?? Yes a couple of their songs flew beneath the radar that I like, but all in all, count me out. I guess I don't have to actually answer that question now, do I???

LarryUK Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I think the thing that has to be taken into account with the Beatles, Elvis etc..is the fact that they were the first to do it. It's all been done now. Imagine being with Les Paul in the beginning? With the Beatles when Beatlemania came? With Elvis when he shook his hips? It's not just the music.

Jeff-7 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I liked it Duane, good work. Personally I do like a lot of Beatles music, songs like Happiness is a Warm Gun, Revolution, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. Of course my dad is a big fan, he always had the Beatles, REO, 38 special and a ton of other stuff playing on the record player when I was little.

Dub-T-123 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Very nice Duane. That guitar part has a lot in common with "Julia" which is my favorite Beatles song to play. I swear I could play it in my sleep I've played it hundreds of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I assume you've only heard what the radio plays? That's the problem. They have such a large body of work, you need to check out the lesser known stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wp91YPGnLw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
