Didn't see the Grammy's last night, but heard Howard Stern talking about whatever Beatles award/Beatles tribute was on the show.
Isn't it over? Wasn't it over several decades ago?
I don't hate the Beatles, but I've never listened to them on purpose either. I do, however, HATE WITH A PASSION when people say they're the beginning of modern music, they show that a song has to have a Middle 8 to sound good, all etc. crap.I mean, isn't it just a bit too cliche to pander to them STILL?
Does it really matter what Yoko has to say about what Lennon would say today if he were alive?The "All we need is love" lyric is so incredibly tired...
Makes the brain feel like there's a drill in it.

The Beatles were great and loved by many. Their contemporary influence is inescapable. The deserve any accolade they get.

if it we hadn't had the Beatles we wouldn't have had glam rock, punk, new romantics, new wave, brit pop etc etc... just live with the facet that brillaince doesn't come along very often

You might laugh at this but I think the Beach Boys were better.
Listen to Petsounds and you'll see what I mean. none of that do wab do wab surf sound.

nicko, your statement is too matter of fact. It is simple to credit one band for all of this innovation, but without them, noone knows what might have happened.

The beatles would have agreed bullitt. They modeled themselves after the Beach Boys, especially when it came to album writing/production.

This girl I liked was a senior in high school when I was a sophomore in college, was hanging out with her in another girls room and I knew we both kind of liked each other. She had shut the door and dimmed the lights and put on the Beatles White Album and the song Revolution Number ?? and I was trying pretty hard to feel the vibe of if she wanted to make out and such. But I couldn't get past the fact that I was having to listen to them.
I think she thought it was "cool" music to set a mood.
I should have given in though. High school girls going after a college guy, it's good for their sense of well-being.

I enjoy the occasional listen of the beatles stuff and have just got the beatles naked album which is very good.
so for that all i can say is
I am the walrus

yeah funny that.. America thought they had to release a band capable of beating the Beatles IE: The MOnkees.. When the Beachboys were infact gaining more support in the UK of that time..

- Mimio0
Yes Bullit The MOnkees were a collective American plot to slight The Beatles. Their not even comparable musically.

I mean how can you take a band like that serious.. If you just mention a monkey it makes me laugh.
