Yeah, that's fine, I don't understand why you're getting so much grief for not connecting emotionally to something. What, are you supposed to force yourself to like it?
I mean, personally, Pearl Jam have played a bigger role in my life than the Beatles as well. So in that respect I agree with you, even though I think the Beatles were geniuses.
And did someone actually say Ed's lyrics are more articulate? Half the time it sounds like he's singing with a mouth full of crackers.
Ed is much more articulate with regard to : using language easily and fluently; having facility with words; or expressed, formulated, or presented with clarity and effectiveness:
and not
uttered clearly in distinct syllables.
Don't worry. Beatles take the cake with the latter definition.
you don't necessarily have to connect lyrically to a song to like, enjoy it or have meaning to it. I love the beatles top 5 band easily. the best band of all time no doubt.
I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you
Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl
I love you forever and forever

I just listened to previews of each song on each album off their official website.
Nothing excites me, maybe 4-5 songs.
Lyrics aren't my thing.
how old are you? Have you really never heard their music before? If I have kids, they will be taught the biblical scripture according to john paul george and ringo.
Umm 25. Heard some songs which I have that are okay but the rest don't do anything for me sorry.
If I want 60's I'll listen to The Doors, Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix Experience etc...
even if you never listened to them with intent, just like abba songs, beatles songs seem to have seeped into the subconscious of a certain generation.
in the 70s when i was a child singing was a part of our school curriculum. wed sit in class and maybe once a week be subjected to a programme where we learned 'state approved' songs. years later during my musical awakening i discovered than i knew more beatles songs than i could remember actually listening to(they wereneverplayed in my house). turns out those songs we were taught in school were sometimes beatles songs.
dont sweat it TA theres no law that says you MUST like the beatles or even appreciate them.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Did anyone get the Rolling Stone issue of The Beatles' 100 Greatest Songs? It's great. How many artists or bands do you know that can have that many timeless songs?
I just want to add this: the only band/artist in the history of music to claim the top 5 spots of the Billboard Top 100. That's something we will never see again.
I forgive the person/people who are not into The Beatles. I understand you tried and couldn't get into them. That's cool with me.

I have tried to be a Beatles fan, I just do not like their music. I like a few songs, but thats about it. They were a very successfull, popular band who sold millions of records. They have been an influence on many bands since the 60's, but their music (to me) just isnt that great, or even good. BTW Jim Morrison was by far a better lyricist than any Beatle.

I absolutely love The Beatles. Along with PJ, REM, The Black Crowes, Sonic Youth, Masters Of Reality, Kyuss and a few others they are one of my most listened to bands. It doesn't matter to me to fully connect to every lyric with any artist, just for the music to take me where I want it. I do love the lyrics of many Beatles songs but it doesn't come first. The White Album is an amazing album as is Revolver, Abbey Road, Let It Be, Sgt. Pepper and Rubber Soul. I spend a lot of time with these albums and have been listening to them for almost 30 years now and know them inside out. Loads of people I know are still discovering The Beatles and I don't think I've even fully discovered them. Since the stereo remasters came out I'm starting to hear things differently again from the previous remastering and that's amazing to me considering it came out such a long time ago. Absolutely timeless music that will be loved forever and my children even know the words to half their music now.

The majority of songs written post Help! are truly some of the best songs ever written. I break The Beatles in to two parts, the early bubble gum years and the later, experimental and truly creative years.

I think you meant to say that they MADE music history, no? The only other artist at that time that could stand up to the Beatles was Elvis. They revolutionized music to what it is today and almost any major artist of the last 40 years would count the Beatles as a musical influence. I don't think they became popular at the right time, I think they revolutionized music and then became popular. People had never heard anything like that before. The Beatles set the bar and no one has met it yet.

If you look at Beatles for Sale, that's when they matured. Perfect example: I'm a Loser. Beatles for Sale was the result of their meeting with Dylan. If you listen to A Hard Days Night and then Beatles for Sale right after, you hear a huge difference. That album has Dylan written all over it.

Did you just say that a band is more talented than the Beatles? Have you tried playing their early stuff on guitar and drums? They made crazy chord progressions and used crazy chords. They would add chords that didn't belong in the key and made it sound like it did. Ringo keeps his drumming so simple that it's that good. Tom Petty said when he would listen to the Beatles, George's solos were so simple he couldn't believe how simple they were. There will never be a band like The Beatles again who took over the world.

The Beatles are beyond awesome, they are part of the fabric of British guitar music, you only have to look at the most commercially successful guitar band of recent times, Oasis to see their influence is as strong today as it ever was. To go from "Please Please Me" to "Let it Be" in just 7 years is insane! Although I have no real time for pre Revolver albums you watch the dance floor fill at a party when early Beatles is played!, I love all the albums after, there is gold on every one. (I make no defense of Revolution Number 9 tho).
The Beatles cannot be judged in anyway other than as the greatest Rock and Roll band the world has seen. Any way you want to look at it they are the kings. Record sales, critical acclaim, and influence. Sure Dylan is a better lyricist, but he can't sing like Paul, and have you seen the footage of them live? What other band created that level of hysteria? The world had not seen anything like them before, and only Michael Jackson got near that kind of reactions since.
