I reckon you should really look at it in context. Having  said that I didn't exactly appreciate George Harrisons  comments earlier in the year saying that drum machines are  like the plague. 
 
  Back in their day, (i'm talking about the latter stuff -  Revolver and on) was pretty good for mainstream stuff. Like,  Tomorrow Never Knows .. I reckon is still a fucken cool  tune. There's a lot of cheesy crap an all that .. but I try  to see through that ..

agreed lasit,once lennon took hold (mcCartney wrote most of  the early klovey dovey pop songs), their political message  was extremely well intertwined with the songs...makin hadden  messages and all...yes i love the beatles...remember get  back? i loved that song,quite funky

Paul McCartney is an appauling cunt. Lennon had more talent  in one of his pubic hairs than McCartney had altogether. As  the Super Furry Animals rightly pointed out, McCartney is  only good at chewing vegetables.

The Beatles are good. The Rolling Stones are better.
  That's all the criticism I can muster for one day.

ahh, the old lennon vs. that other idiot argeument....  yes  yes, lennon was a fine man, and i am sad to have been born  the year of his murder....
 
  but besides all that, if i had not been raised on such  greats as the beatles, talking heads, david bowie, brian  eno, B-52s, the smiths, peter gabrial, and the like, i do  not think i would like the music i like today! i have my  wonderful, artsie farstie,  wearing-black-all-the-time-for-the-sake-of-art, kinda yuppy  parents to thank (who now live in Russia, bless their wittle  hearts).... and i have to add, my rents (short for  parents...) love such greats as radiohead, mouse on mars,  and chibo matto because of me.... think how crazy it would  be if your 45 year old mother was singing "We are the  dollars and cents and the pounds and pents and the mock and  the yen...." while driving her SUV with your two little bros  singing along in the back? i tell you, it would be crazy.
 
  but i think the only reason they are into my music, is  becasue they liked bands like the beatles when they were  younger and child free, and then when they HAD kids, they  did not switch to jimmi buffet, no no my friends, they kept  listening to bowie, and later jane's addiction even to this  day....
 
  i like the beatles, they don't suck. my fingers hurt now.........

My mum has shit taste in music but my dad likes SFA, Beta  Band, Eels, Radiohead (not the new stuff) and Badly Drawn  Boy because of me. He's not very open-minded, though... if I  were to make him listen to IDM he'd just hate it.

see geo, my rents, having enjoyed such music as Brian Eno's  "Very Very Hungry", are a little more open minded to Aphex  and such.. my mom loves Windowlicker.. but then again, she  IS crazy.

I bought Beatles - One album...
  I liked every song on it.
  Anyone who likes music for anything other then the music  itself is an ass.

the beatles are quite decent and i much more enjoyed  Lennon's songs than McCartney's.
 
  By the way i am not impressed at all by Ringo's solo stuff.
  But just look at the Sgt. Pepper's album -- they used a bit  of sampling and audio trickery on it. audio experimentation.  
 
  like the samples in "Yellow Submarine" of the water and the  crowded bar and the sub etc.. 
 
  and the weird kilotone noises at the end of the last song  and the weird ass voices clips looping ad infinitum.
 
  And on the White Album -- REVOLUTION 9 is a total fucking  electronic chaos trip track -- nothing but pure sampling  madness for about 7 minutes.
 
  The Beatles were quite good after they stopped doing the "we  all dress alike and look alike" bullshit.
 
  George Harrison is not that great either. Didn't he get sued  for stealing someone's song?

i really like that song rocky racoon, im pretty sure its off  the white album..
  and im not too keen on most beatles work, but the one where  the lyrics go something along the lines of "i read the news  today, oh boy.."

The Beatles are the single greatest achievement of all of  humanity, not just music. Actually, I read a review of  Tomorrow Never Knows, and the guy reviewing mentioned how it  was the roots of modern techno and trance, like Aphex Twin.  I wouldn't be a RDJ fan now if I didn't like the Beatles and  didn't read that review. If Lennon was alive and 24 right  now with this technology, they'd be so good, it would be  TERRIFYING.

i think the greatest thing about the Beatles is not  necessarily their songs and music, but more the way they  revolutionized music during that time. i mean, even if you  dont like their music (which i completely do), youve got to  appreciate that.

And I absolutely loathe Yoko Ono.  Not for any part she may  have played in breaking up the Beatles, but for the way she  has, since his death, manipulated anything Lennon ever did  to her own ends
