The Beatles sucked!

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, of course, but it's hard to take an opinion about a band seriously when it includes: 1) a misquotation of the band's lyrics (see the "Drive My Car" quote in the OP); 2) an incorrect reference to the title of a very famous song (see "As [sic] My Guitar Gently Weeps"; or 3) an admission that the person offering the opinion has only heard two of the band's albums when the band produced over 200 songs.

Was the OP loved as a child? Did the OP not read the whole lyrics for "Drive My Car"? The whole song is a metaphor for sex:

Asked a girl what she wanted to be,
She said, baby can't you see?
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen,
But you can do something in between.

Baby, you can drive my car.
Yes, I'm gonna be a star.
Baby, you can drive my car and maybe I'll love you.

I told the girl that my prospects were good.
She said, baby, it's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine,
But I can show you a better time.

Baby, you can drive my car.
Yes, I'm gonna be a star.
Baby, you can drive my car and maybe I'll love you.
Beep beep mm, beep beep yeh!

Baby, you can drive my car.
Yes, I'm gonna be a star.
Baby, you can drive my car and maybe I'll love you.

I told that girl I could start right away,
And she said, listen, babe, I've got something to say.
Got no car, and it's breaking my heart,
But I've found a driver and that's a start.

Today, some rappers say something like, "I took that girl's pussy and fucked it all night." The Beatles had to be creative and figure out a way to use sex in their song without people knowing it.

As someone stated before, The Beatles revolutionized music. Every album they got better and better.

Their meeting with Bob Dylan on August 28, 1964 changed everything and you can hear the Dylan influence on the album "Beatles For Sale", then "Help!", and then, of course, the masterpiece, "Rubber Soul", where The Beatles helped create folk-rock.

The Beatles had a response to everything. Dylan released "Bringing It All Back Home" and "Highway 61 Revisited" and The Beatles responded with "Rubber Soul" (the greatest album ever, in my opinion). That was 1965. Dylan released "Blonde on Blonde" and The Beach Boys released "Pet Sounds" and The Beatles responded with "Revolver". That was 1966. The Beatles ended all competition with "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in 1967. The Beatles said if it wasn't for "Pet Sounds", there wouldn't be a "Sgt. Pepper".

Brian Wilson said it was "Rubber Soul" that made him want to make "Pet Sounds" and 'compete' with The Beatles; it wasn't until he heard "Strawberry Fields Forever" that he just stopped competing with them and stopped making the "Smile" album.

Bob Dylan said the early work of The Beatles blew him away because of the chords and the chord changes they used. He said he had never heard anything like it before.

Also, if it wasn't for The Beatles, the Stones wouldn't be what they became. Their albums while The Beatles were a band was the same exact thing, just released six months later.

Sorry for the rambling.

While I am not a fan of thier music, I do understand their importance to music, and especially rock music. But, you can't force someone to like a form of art. I never been able to get into them.

I agree,neither have I,despite many tries they just don't do anything for me,simple as that.But I often get flamed for my opinion like they are untouchable by unappreciative hands :?

I just can't believe what I'm reading from some of you... You guys need some music history lessons to learn how important The Beatles are to modern music. Even when they were singing "Twist and Shout", they were bringing music to another level.

And it's true, the day The Beatles met Bob Dylan... everything changed once again; Revolver was born!

Ignorance is bliss, they say... And why am I wasting my time with this post...

completely agree.

In my humble opinion, The Beatles is the only band mightier than PJ. They were just a pretty perfect little band with some HUGE songs. Yes, some of the lyrics, especially their early work, were quite simple, but you have to see them as a product of their time, just like PJ sounds like a product of their time.
Yes songs like 'Obladi-oblada' and 'Yellow submarine' are quite lame, but the rest are not even close to being mediocre and we´re talking about a HUGE backlog!

I can't stand the Beattles and Paul is a giant douche bag.

"I once had a girl /
or should I say she once had me"


I feel bad putting this asinine thread back on top, but that's one of my favorite lyrics.

Great song, album, band!

I'm torn between that song and "Nowhere Man" as my favorite song of all time.

not a huge mega fan, but i do like a fair amount of their stuff. if it can have an affect on people nowadays, i can only imagine how revolutionary it must have been when it was first being heard.
but like someone said, you can't force someone to like something. opinions are opinions

oh yeah and just because something is radio friendly, it doesn't mean it's a bad song. lots of good songs get lots of radio play, cough cough jeremy, alive, even flow

When somethings broke, I wanna put a bit of fixin on it
When somethings bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
If somethings low, I wanna put a little high on it
When somethings lost, I wanna fight to get it back again

Lyrics don't always have to be rocket science! It's what you do with them that counts... I love Pearl Jam and The Beatles equally. If you have a low opinion of The Beatles go tell a Beatles forum?

StoneAment

I don't like the beatles - that doesn't mean I don't think they were an important band it just means I don't enjoy listening to their music. It has nothing to do with history or recognition it has to do with personal preferences.

In response to the person who had a problem with me basing my opinion on the 2 albums I've heard - I don't tend to listen to the entire disocgraphy of bands whose albums that I have heard I've not enjoyed. I'd rather just move on to a band I do like.

Ridiculous.

The OP thinks The Beatles suck and Kurt Cobain is the greatest musician of all time. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say your favorite movie is Troll 2. I think you need a new message board to post on. Does Warrant have a message board?
