Let's not be diplomatic here to please others :P what do you think of their music (with no comments of how it was the beginning of everything, blah blah... Just the music on its own merits).
I dislike the Beatles music but can see how people would like it...damn I was diplomatic :P

I like some of their songs. I'm not really into them, but most of their hits appeal to me as nice to listen to once in a while.
Music is quite simple in the beginning, but quite experimental later on I think.

I, like Ophecks, love The Beatles, even some of McCartney's contributions, tho personally I think he was the 3rd best songwriter of the Beatles, behind Lennon and Harrison - it's weird, I just put on The Anthology (Kindaly downloaded from Ophecks!) and then I refreshed the board and here was this thread!

NO! i'm fucking fed up of hearing about "how great the beatles were..." and "how they did soooo much for british music.."
Blah-di-fuckin' blah! Maybe they did do a lot for british music, but i'm not really interested by anything they did musically.

Yeah, people diss the beatles because they were just a rockin' band in the beginning... But take modern composers like Schoenberg, who started off writing more conventional pieces, before becoming more avant-garde in their approach.

"I dislike anything which isn't electronica...I'm open minded" hehehehehehehehahaaha!
i LOVE the beatles, cant get enough of them lately! I can see why the early stuff puts ppl off, its nothing ground breaking (basically just white man's blues) but they're still great songs. As they became more innovative they just got better and better!!
they're trippy, funny, non-conformist, controversial, innovative.... the list goes on.
we were watching a video about the top selling singles, and the beatles came up, someone in my class said "i can't stand the beatles, they sound just like anyother rock band around now!" how dumb can he get?!
i still think some beatles songs are ahead of most contemporary artists.
just one question: were any singles released off of the white album?

yeah paul, like stravinsky too. writing 'normal' ballets and then also writing the Rite of Spring, getting tomatoes thrown at his performances - what a man! what a great man!
I'd love to get a response like that from a classical audience, something so daring and contrioversial that ppl react like that! GENIUS! :D

The White album marked the first on the then newly formed Apple label, which had made its first appearance as a 45 three months earlier on August 30, 1968 with the Hey Jude/Revolution single, both of which were recorded during the White Album sessions.
Also recorded during the White Album sessions were What's the New Mary Jane and Not Guilty. These two tracks were only available on bootlegs for many years, but were finally released legitimately for the first time 28 years after they were recorded on Anthology 3 in 1996.

''I dislike them because really, I dislike anything which isn't electronica''
That's fine and all, but really, that must SUCK! :-D Makes me feel so lucky that I love rock and ''IDM'' equally.
Well, it's clear that everybody else is total shit compared to the Beatles, and they would be the only band with the creativity and pop sensibility to revolutionize music again these days. So I'm crossing my fingers that Paul and Ringo will die soon and then the 4 of them will get reincarnated simulataneously and then finally we'll have another musical epiphany to look forward to after decades of inferiority.
Who needs ''indie cred'' when you can be the most creative band in the world AND the most popular, baybee? What other artist in any field can claim that remarkable feat?
Mylittlesister... I have 12 gigs of Beatles bootlegs on Soulseek, 3,500 songs, so browse my big fat Beatles folder, White Sessions and much more. I think I have bootlegs of John Lennon napping and snoring, that's how bizarre some of these are. ;-)
Now, for some ARM WRESTLING RANDOMNESS.

When I was younger I never cared for them much, but then a friend showed me the light, and I discovered how truly amazing they were. Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, White Album, and Abbey Rd are 4 of the greatest albums ever made, and to think they were all made within 4 years as well as all the various side projects they did is mind boggling. The beatles are the greatest.

Its a terrible thing when people dislike the beatles, but I guess everyone has there own opinion. I think opheck hit the nail on the head when he said "That's fine and all, but really, that must SUCK! :-D Makes
me feel so lucky that I love rock and ''IDM'' equally."
It does however piss me off when people say they never contributed anything worth mentioning to music just because their music doesn't speak to you! what a closeminded idiotic statement to make! Thats like saying Mozart never contributed anything to music because I dont particularly like his music.

''I dislike them because really, I dislike anything which isn't electronica...I'm open minded but I know what I like and don't like''
Well in AE_King's defense, it's not like he said anything that isn't electronica isn't GOOD... if he only like electronica, you can't fault him for that or anything. He said he can understand why someone would love the Beatles. I wouldn't really call that narrow minded, just... really, really, really, really, really uber unfortunate for him!

"i think there stuff are a piss poor excuse for music"
I think your use of "there" instead of "their" is a piss poor excuse for grammar. ;)
Bwa ha! I only play. :)
I love the Beatles. Its just GOOD music. GOOD lyrics. I wouldnt like any other band that have cheesy lyrics like, "She loves you! Yah yah yah!" becuase, for me, with the Beatles, its just not cheesy or corny or anything. Its perfect.
The White Album and Abbey Road are my favorites--I have both, along with other Beatles records, on vinyl. :D
