" Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me.
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe, and how."

George wrote that^ didnt he?? I like that one a lot, especially when Frank Sinatra sings it.

Its kind of ridiculous the amount of quality songs the Beatles wrote really. Well i really enjoy them anyway.

Dont know much about what was going on at that time, who were the Beatles influenced by? Who would they have been listening to growing up?

if you count how many rock bands have been influenced by the beatles i'd say they're deffo not overrated. i dont like them much, but they've offered immensly to music like.

"As musicans none of them were perticuarly talented (they even had Eric Clapton do thier guitar solos on some of the later albums). As songwriters they did write some very good stuff but most of it is average to bad."

thats definitely the most stupid post in ages.

No fuckin' way!!!

"Furthermore I think the majority of their fans, especailly the younger ones claim to like the Beatles just to fit in"

Crimsonfloyd, 1967

Is that guy stupid? ............... Listening to the Beatles "just to fit in" in 2004?!?!?!?

Argh, not this again, could we at least name the thread "Is Anathema the new Beatles?" or sth, this is just too old, even for this forum.

 

[donkho]

Fuck-off, you can like or dislike the beatles, but always finish talking about them, its just that they are the most fucking important band in the history like it or not

 

[Allan]

Fine, if you wish to discucc their music, but this is like the 5th thread that goes no further than "They're overrated" shouters vs. "they're the most important band in history and you're an idiot for thinking otherwise" shouters.

 

[Strangelight]

well, I think Thy Sorrowful Moongarden are far more groundbreaking than the average to bad songwriting of the overated Beatles

EVERYBODY KNOWS ABBA WAS BIGGER THAN GOD!!!!!

 

[pistol_pete]

the guy who wrote the first song using a guitar rules all

I'll be honest about my stand on this, I've never had much pleassure listening to the Beatles, prefer Bon Jovi, Boston, Def Leppard and loads of others actually , but I've never heard a musician I respected argue the fact that they were the most important band in modern music or whatever, so I respect their authority on the matter and amen to that. What do I really care anyway.

NP: Boston- Someone
