Why are Beatles fans so touchy, as though to not like them is inconceivable?
my eldest daughter is obsessed with Taylor Swift to the point where i cant tolerate any of her music now.
Radiohead was bound to come up but they are fave of mine along with The SmithsI actually like that some of my favourite bands are disliked on here, I prefer to be in the musical elite
Fair enough, she does seem ubiquitous at the moment. I think I've heard the 10 minute version of All to well more than I've heard all the christmas songs put together this December.
I am another who doesn't like the Beetles. I get that it was something different in its time but them times are gone now and as BlindBoyGrunt says, why do people get so touchy if you don't like the Beetles.
I worked in Liverpool for a couple of years, the dogs abuse I used to get for daring to suggest not one of the beetles could sing.
bet you like at least one song though, it's pretty impossible to hate every song since they spanned so many genres.
Lennons melody was often just one note, McCartney had a good range though and was a great melodic lyrical writer. Harrison was a poor singer very limited vocal range, and we won't even discuss Ringo
they largely just selected lyrics that fitted the melody, there were some great lines, rather than thematic brilliance, the majority of their lyrics weren't exactly poetry. Lennon was better in his screaming upper voice than his chest voice. He didn't have good voice control, much better guitarist than he was ever credited with though
Eleanor Rigby, one of the few beetles songs I like, was, I believe stolen from a poem of the same name. I seem to remember reading it in English at school.
