Beatles fans really are the worst. It's not enough for them to like the Beatles, they have to go out of their way to make sure YOU know about it, and that YOU are a complete retard for thinking otherwise. I hate them so much. All of they're stuff is either poppy top 40 shit or they were so high that I don't even have a reason to care. |

You don't produce a song like this without at least sucking on a duracel.
I appreciate the original and older artists for their songs but, as we seem to agree, much of the originals don't really hold up these days. For example, that song I posted above was covered by Elton John, and even though the Beatle's version isn't that bad, I like the Elton John version better.
Trippy song.
Another example of this would be All along the watchtower, written by Bob Dylan, I believe, but Hendrix's take on it is the best.

Elton John in my mind is miles better then The Beatles. Elton John has at least put out singles that I really like. And I've been known to do Rocket Man drunk as hell at Karaoke Bars.

Even though I don't like Elton John, he's still better than the Beatles. I also agree with(I forgot who said it. My bad) that the Beatles were completely overrated. I honestly don't understand why they were so huge. If anything they seem like guys that would be one hit wonders today and then dated in five years. Their material isn't timeless to my ear

I think a lot of the older fans probably still like them because of the nostalgia their music offers them, and for younger fans, people who were not around when the band were together, I think many are suckered in by the hype that still surrounds their music.

Sorry, I hate Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds so much that I couldn't bring myself to listen to the Elton John version. I'm not kidding, that song is right up there amongst "worst of all time" for me. And it disqualifies Sgt Pepper from ever being "best album of all time". The way I see it is that in the UK, it's impossible for you to not be exposed to the Beatles music. It's so prevalent. You either hear it on the radio or your parents listen to them, or your friends have some of their discs, or you read about them and want to check them out. So you are able to make up your own mind as to whether you like them or not. But that's not enough for Beatles fans. Every month at least one of those shitty magazines has THE BEATLES on the cover, or there's some piece in the newspaper extolling THE BEATLES and HOW GREAT THEY WERE or there's some new poll where THE BEATLES were the GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME. It's as if they don't fucking trust us to listen to their music and draw our own conclusions. And you know who else did that? Hitler. I'm just sayin'  |

I've not paid any attention to music magazines in years but I do remember the Beatles and Nirvana/Kurt Cobain being on about half of them every month.

Once in awhile while in the super market I might see Cobain on a mag cover and once in awhile Paul McCartney. Every December a few John Lennon covers. Mostly in the States its the flavor of the month.

It's amazing how Cobain is basically a legend already. What I mean is almost 20 years have past since Nirvana became big and 15 years passed since Cobain's death. It's more of a situation where I just can't believe how much time has gone by already.

I think its more amazing how Nirvana is starting to get compared to The Beatles and the most talented guy and really the only one worth mentioning is Dave Grohl.

I think Dave Grohl is hugely overrated.
I wasn't aware of things when Nirvana got their push but for whatever reason it seems they are one of those rare bands, such as the Beatles, that struck such a chord with people all over the world, and continue to do so, that they are remembered so fondly and thought of as more than just a band. It could be argued that they sculpted our society/societies in a way.

I think Dave Grohl is hugely overrated. I also think this. Like he cares with his millions of dollars and millions of fans and blowing hookers on piles of cocaine. Although I like Nirvana I also think they are over-rated. To me the whole tragedy with Cobain was that he was just getting started. Nirvana only released two good records*. That is a really flimsy body of work for this canonisation that's happened to him. And for the record, In Utero >>>>> Nevermind although I like both. |
