Am I the only one who doesn't like The Beatles?

[SunnyD]

Honestly, I can't say I'm a fan of their music.

 

[Fear No Evil]

No

 

[nageov3t]

no.

but you're in an extremely small minority.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

No. Not a fan of them either

 

[RaiderJ]

Same here. I don't like today's boy bands either.

 

[darkxshade]

I don't know the lyrics to a single Beatles song... does that count?

 

[Nik]

Save for Norwegian Wood and Yellow Submarine, I cannot stand them.

 

[Blackjack200]

Save for Norwegian Wood and Yellow Submarine, I cannot stand them.

What's so different about those two songs?


Anyway... it doesn't matter. Now that Lady Gaga exists and records music, everything else is irrelavent.

Lotta shens in this thread. Everyone likes the Beattles, no exceptions.

 

[OutHouse]

nope i cant stand them either. and thanks to this thread i now have "i love you YEA YEA YEA" stuck in my head. Grrrrr

time to put on my headphones and crank on some Rammstein to purge my brain.

I do find it incredulous that amongst their entire catalog of music, someone couldn't find a single song that they liked.

like, Blackbird? Across the Universe? While My Guitar Gently Weeps? who dislikes these songs?

I'm not entirely sure. NW is soothing and YS is just the right amount of crazy for me. :thumbsup:

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Got to admit they had a tremendous impact on music. How many bands would even warrant a post like this forty something years after recording their last albumn.

And I felt that way for many years about Elvis, only in the last couple of decades have I come to like some of his music.

People who've never heard them?

And to the OP: Yes, you are the only one.

 

[dfuze]

Not really a fan of their music either, but some is ok.

I just can't fathom watching some old footage where people are screaming and crying while seeing them.

Not saying that this is the case for the OP, but you can dislike music just because of association. For example, my older sister listened to the Beatles constantly, and as a result, I hated them for many years. Only when I got to college and beyond did I start to appreciate and enjoy some of their stuff.

Ya, I grew up hearing a lot of Elvis(Parents Records), but eventually stopped for a couple decades. Recently I listened to a few of his songs and couldn't help but be impressed. Dude was the real deal.

this IMO has a lot to do with it, i don't dislike them but FFS they are massively overplayed

 

[chedrz]

Not a big fan, either. I might like a couple of their songs, and I appreciate their contribution to the genre, but otherwise not a fan.

 

[Kirby]

Beatles > *

 

[JulesMaximus]

This is an amazing song IMO...Amazing vocals, amazing lyrics, amazing sound.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

More amazing songs and some of my favorites.

Eleanor Rigby

A Day in the Life

Let It Be

Norwegian Wood

Yesterday

 

[Flipped Gazelle]

I wonder how many people dislike the Beatles because they are tired of hearing about how much the Fab Four contributed to modern music?

 

[nageov3t]

it's the music that most of the boomers grew up to.

I'd imagine that it will start slipping out of rotation somewhat as they die off and 60's/70's music stations start converting to 80's/90's stations.

 

[geno]

You are not alone.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Overplayed and overrated. I like most of the other British Invasion bands a lot more.
