F*ck The Beatles

[sync pulse]

The Beatles' evolution after 1965 was a shitty pop band transforming into a wannabe pseudo-intellect band with a few decent songs.

[CalvinH]

Didn't like them when I was young but appreciate them now.

Bullshit, the first TRUE heavy metal song was Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath recorded in 1969, BUT, here is a detailed song list of songs that were HEAVY and utilized power chords and harder elements PRE-1970:

The Kinks - You Really Got Me (1964)
Cream - Spoonful (1966)
Cream - Sunshine of Your Love (1967)
Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady, Fire, Purple Haze, Manic Depression (1967)
Blue Cheer - Doctor Please & Summertime Blues (1968)
Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1968)
Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild (1968)
Led Zeppelin - Communication Breakdown, Days and Confused and all of first 2 albums (1968-1969)
King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man (1969)
Pink Floyd - The Nile Song (1969)
Spooky Tooth - Evil Woman & Waitin' For The Wing (1969)
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (1969) - Had been playing the song since 1968
Then Deep Purple, Budgie, Trapeze, Iron Claw, Lucifer's Friend, Dust, Cactus, and dozens of prototype heavy metal bands.

Born to be Wild even has the first mention of the genre's name. "I got smoke and lightnin', heavy metal thunder".

As for The Beatles, greatest pop band of all time. And I'm not even a big fan.

You can't deny the influence they had on music in general. Crossed over many musical genres and maintained popularity.

Although it's subjective, if you say McCartney and/or Lennon weren't among the greatest song writers of the last 50 years you are clearly a moron.

Lol at the Beatles fanboy. I'm saying they sucked. Now do something about it pussy

[latiuss]

Live and let die theme is the only work by paul that i like.

[Royalty]

Oasis has 2 songs I recall...Beatles....a ton.  The Beatles influenced millions of musicians...Oasis ripped off the Beatles and believed they were great.  I can't tell you the last song they made.

The Beatles are overrated though.  No band warrants that popularity.  Similar to too many praising Hendrix.  It's the safe bet, plus he's dead....which only adds to someone's greatness.

Somebody is in denial.

As predicted, Oasis surpassed the Beatles

Paul was already dead by then

Lol...all hype. There was music for thousands of years before the Beatles and it will continue without them. In 10 more years they will be a forgotten footnote in history.

Yes, but everything changed after the Beatles were out ....  the Paul Ankas Skyliners, little Richards, Elvis etc were buried ....every musical act started copying the Bealtes after even Oasis in the 90's ...


You can say you just don't like those songs'....but that it'll be forgotten in ten years??  You're probably trolling ,  the Beatles catalog  is the most expensive in the world today (2016)   we are talking about music that was created over 50 years ago ...




WooOSHHHHH  she loves you yeah yeah

People still talk about Beatles/Beethoven/Vivaldi/Oswald Von Wolkerstein et al.

Vivaldi was rocking house back in the 1600s, Oswald already back in the 1300s.

Some musicians/composers leave a mark , other's dont (Lady Gaga et al)

MC Pete Abelard from 1079 was no slouch either.
He was 12th century's True Adonis

"The keenest thinker and boldest theologian of the 12th Century".

Very few are talking about classical composers, and it will decline until it's just a few academics keeping it alive. The Beatles were hyped to the max and were at the right place at the right time. As I understand it McCartney was recently turned away from a nightclub by rappers who didn't know who he is.

LOL well that says everything about the "rappers" and nothing about McCartney. That's on them, and not the Goat.

Rappers are usually ignorant creatures, and more than often Nignogs.

Just because a Dindu does not know who you are, does not mean you do not exist RatedXXX.

Nignogs rarely know anything. Unless it's shown on BET.

Okay, be that as it may, baby boomers are dying off and todays youth are listening to rap and hip hop and r&b. They don't know who the Beatles are. It's over.

Sad state of affairs what society has become today if you ask me ol' chap!

Today's youth/generation is an ignorant mass of sheep. Not many sophisticated people at all.

I'm not speculating about the sophistication of today's youth. I'm just talking about reality. Fuck the Beatles.

If todays young people would listen to more Beatles, it would change their lives for the better, (and in turn make society better)
and not this Pitbull, Lady Gaga, young money, tony yayo, soulja shit, lil this lil that, wacka facka flocka shit.

It's funny when people refer to classical music and claim it's still around or spoken about.  One question, who listens to classical music other than old people about to die?  Nobody, literally nobody.  I like some classical, but for the most part it gets tiresome after a few bars.
There hasn't been much or any classical that touches classical from hundreds of years back simply because it's written in a different context and put into movies.  Movie composers are among some of the best writers today.  It's not rock and certainly not dubstep...did I just say dubstep and music...my fault.

There is something to be said for that actually.  The Beatles will be alive and relevant in 40 years...but for whom?  Kids today don't have a chance.  It's bad rap, which most all is or Skrillex, or edm.  Poor bastards.
There is some good electronic music I come across on Spotify though.  Not the generic dance edm.
Instruments won't be played in 50 years or less.  Maybe 4 people will.

McCartney is an epic tool

Paul McCartney is actually a very good bassist.

[Kwon]

Paul McCartney is actually a very good bassist.

Yes, he has a tool for any occasion.

He can play most any instruments.

[Fortress]

I want you(shes so heavy) & helter skelter is considered by many to have opened the door to metal. Others were doin it at the time but not on a large scale

Absolutely. Wouldn't disagree. They're examples of very early heavy metal.

Lol...no he can't. Absolutely sucks at the drums,barely passable on piano and guitar, proficient enough bass player but he's no John Entwistle or Geddy Lee.
