Not at all. Don't like, and never have liked their music. :thumbsup:

!0/13 - should have been 11 but cocked up my answer regarding the oldest Beatle :cricko:

Just because they were massively influential doesn't mean you have to like them.

I don't like the Beatles particularly but they influenced so much music that I love.

6/13

I fail to see how anyone can't find a single song within their immense canon of work that they don't like.

Agree completely. It's a bit like saying you don't like anyone called Michael.

I can't see it at work....at no point do I say that EVERY song is quality - I'm not a fan of their real early Love Love Me Do stuff, and I just can't get on with most of The White Album...but not liking Hey Jude? How is that even possible?

Apologies for high jacking the thread but what the fek has their influence on popular music and their popularity with the masses got to do with the fact I don't particularly like any of their music? Elvis is another. Musically I wouldn't by choice put either on my iPod in the car or have them playing at home.

And no, honestly. Hey Jude just doesn't do anything for me musically.

I wouldn't describe myself as the Beatles greatest fan (nor Elvis's either for that matter) but I recognise the immense contribution that they both made to pop music.

Hey Jude was a great track (as was most of their stuff -apart from the White album,IMO, as well as anything Elvis did in the 50's (and quite a lot after that too).

I suspect I wouldn't like much of your record collection.

 

[Bielzibubz]

I suspect your right Barna. In fact I know you are but that's the beauty of musical taste, it's all very personal. And just for the record I never once said I didn't recognise their contribution and influence on popular music, I do. I just find their music leaves me cold and always has.

I managed 3 and that just about sums up what I think of the Beatles. Massively influential and deserve every plaudit but even from a very young age I preffered something more edgey and less mainstream. It was always The Who, Stones or Kinks and a myriad of others.
