Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people Sharing all the world

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

some other group would have done it. im not saying they would have done it as well as the Beatles but.
i think the real question should be "what would the world be like without chuck berry"

Well, a lot less women would have been video taped in the bathrooms and changing rooms.

Judas Priest would have never made an awesome cover of Johnny B. Goode.

Hard to imagine. IMO, there has been nothing new in rock or pop music since The Beatles.

You make

We would all be mindless drones going mechanically about our daily business. There would be no war or poverty, but also no individuality or personality. The boy band/pop star era would have started 20 years earlier and would be over now, having been usurped by the "hip people wearing flip-flops" era. George W. Bush would be emperor of Canada and would lead it to the enviable position of "sooper dooper" world power. The mullet would be the most fashionable hairstyle, followed by dred-locks. Coca-Cola would taste like peppermint Schnapps.

(Well what were you expecting?)

:roll:

Best you can do? Fel free to prove me wrong :roll:

You said nothing "new" not nothing "good". Define "new" and try again. You'd still come off as a pretentious moron living in the past though. Just because you don't like (or haven't taken the opportunity to experience) anything in the 30+ years since the Beatles doesn't mean there isn't anything "new" or worth listening to out there. Granted you did preceed your statement with "IMO."

Still, I'm willing to chalk your post up to flamebait-focused sarcasm. Probably just to get little Nickleback/50Cent/Emo/insert genre stereotype fanbois all riled up though.

And yes... the Monkees were superior to the Beatles in every way...

;)

:laugh:

I use to ask my step-dad if the Beatles were ripping off the Monkees... he'd get so pissed. No sense of humor when it came to his cherished Beatles.

yup...you're right....Pink Floyd was all just a rehash.

And what has Pink Floyd done that hasn't been done before? Nothing.

If you want to see a moron, look in a mirror :roll: Reading comprehension is not your trait, is it?

Thats strange, my dad is a connoisseur of music and he thought that in the grand scheme of things the Beatles were really nothing special.
This came from a guy that owned most albums from the 40's through the 80's. (Which is a whole new discussion that we dont want to have here.)

I guess I feel the same way about Britney Spears. She's an icon and horribly famous and I cant figure out why other than really good promotion from her manager.
