    You've met me BaskerviIle!

    I've heard it all before - that presumption that I should, by default, have an instinctive like of the beatles because I'm human or something. Well, no. I don't deny their influence, any more than I would deny the influence of the Spice Girls or Hendrix, but their music bores me. The Beatles, BORE ME. Maybe it was great if you were "there" when they were relevant - but I wasn't - and they are no longer relevant. The Spice Girls, Hendrix - even the small faces - are no longer relevant.

    Relevance means nothing. A snobbish approach to music is unhealthy. I like what I like, and regardless of the effect the Beatles had on popular culture - the music leaves me cold.

    • My feelings as well.morilla
    • I'd also like to point out that my parents did not like the beatles but they did like the stones.chossy
    • I know I've met you :) I'm not saying that everyone has to love their music but most people will have a period of discoveryBaskerviIle
    • you might not like them but you have to respect them, half of your collection wouldn't exist without themBaskerviIle
