I'm actually sad to say that I don't care for the Beatles. This is a band that I WANT to like. I understand the historical significance and the influence that they had on music. I enjoy John Lennon's music, as well as his message, but when I listen to the Beatles, it does nothing for me. I was told that I might like some of the more trippy stuff, maybe I haven't heard it, but nothing has moved me. I don't hate them, I'm just not turned on by their music. :?

Very nice trippy-Beatles playlist! :thumbup: maybe just add "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and/or "I've Got A Feeling"? Overall though, those are great suggestions for anyone who might be turned off by the pre-1965 stuff

Blue Jay Way (the ultimate trippy song)
I Am The Walrus
Cry Baby Cry

I don't understand why people bash/ignore the early stuff. The early stuff is what made them famous.
A Hard Day's Night (the movie AND the album) is awesome. Only album with all Lennon/McCartney songs. I used to diss the early stuff a little bit, but it really is timeless music.
I kind of feel sorry for people who don't like the Beatles. It's kind of like loving the USA but not liking Ben Franklin.
My listening suggestions are simple: Rubber Soul & Revolver.

Kings of Leon. Cant stand them.
I never got it. When he sings "need somebody" I always think he sounds like he's trying to sound like a pop version of metallicas vocals... "neeeed sombod-EAH!"
I used to like Kings of Leon before that song was released. You couldn't escape that song. It reminded my of Shout, Shout, Let it All Out by Tears for Fears in its ability to follow from your home to the car to the supermarket, etc.
I don't understand why people bash/ignore the early stuff. The early stuff is what made them famous.
I don't bash the early stuff. But for newer fans (i.e. those born afer they broke up), I find that the later stuff is generaly more accessible. I appreciate the early stuff for what it is, but I find the later stuff more interesting. I was not alive when they broke through, and thus I do not have the memories of the early pop stuff being groundbreaking and being as culturally significant as it was. From a historical perspective I understand what it all meant (as much as I can), but that doesn't make the music any more interesting to me. I like it for what it is. AQnd also having a dad who is a huge fan perhaps makes the early stuff a little more palatable to me...I grew up on it.
But in a thread like this where I see people saying they need to check out the trippy stuff and maybe give The Beatles a 2nd chance, I immediately nix anything pre-1965. These are people on a PJ board, sometimes saying things like "I find their pop stuff too boring" and I know to steer away from anything before Help. I recommend the mid-late stuff because I think that has the best chance of snagging a potential new fan.
The early stuff may have made them famous, but I believe the later stuff made them the legends & musical geniuses we think of them as today. To me, that is where I point potental new fans.

Ugh. I have a deep hatred for No Doubt. I don't mind Gwen Stefani on her own, and I think musically, the band is okay, but together...ARGH!! In "I'm Just A Girl" her voice sounds worse than nails on a chalkboard...more like minnie mouse huffing helium. Seriously, when I'm in a store and Spiderwebs or another crap song comes on, my ears try to revolt and leave my body. It's terrible. I've tried to get past it but I just cannot. It's almost a phobia. :thumbdown:

yeah...and i gotta agree with dewie cox on this one. if there is one band you just can't hate, it's the beatles. unless you don't like rock n roll. it's just hard for me to believe that there are people that are actually bothered by their music, but at the same time consider themselves fans of rock music. the beatles have influenced nearly all of the pop music that is out there these days in one way or another. to hate the beatles, when chances are, they are the very reason that some of your favorite artists ever picked up a guitar, just doesn't add up. maybe i'm overstating their importance, and i admit, they aren't my personal favorite band, but to hate them....well, i'd hate to see your record collection.
there is a beatles song/album for everyone.
I'm sorry but statements like this really rile me. Why is such a prerequisite of life to like The Beatles? How can you suggest that people aren't fans of rock music just because they don't like them? That's pretty nonsensical. I don't hate them, I just don't like their music at all, it bores me, it's nothing special to me. I don't feel I need to justify my record collection as a result of this either.
Yes, they may have had a influence on a lot of bands, but nearly all of them? Doubtful. It's been over 40 years since they were making music - I would be worried if bands were not looking at more recent times for their influences, rather than all using the same one.
no need to get riled up. i never said you have to like the beatles. i just said i don't understand how you can hate them. there's a big difference. would you say you hate the beatles? doubt it. that's what this thread is about. "bands you can't stand". i can understand not feeling a connection to their music. or being bored with it. that's understandable. they haven't made music together in over 40 years...but to hate them is going a little far.................just my perspective. obviously the haters are gonna hate. but inside, i know they know they're full of shit.
So are you saying that *bands one can't stand* and *HATING* a band are the same thing? To me hate is a very strong word and i really don't to use it at all. Yes the Beatles I can't stand they are NOT going to be the first band I'm going to choose from my collection (I do have several of their albums) if I decided to go back to the 60's and play and I'm from the early 60's. I grew up hearing some of their music but over the years and felt they were overrated....many give them credit as IF they are Holy Grail of rock music. Also if you don't like them something must be mentally wrong with you. I don't hate them they are just not my first choice hear or do I feel compelled to listen to them. The same could be said for the band RUSH, however I respect peoples dislike of that band and leave it at as such. Somebody plays The Beatles for me I'm willing to listen.
If I was to go as far as to *hate* their music (which I wouldn't) I would never ever like them individually. I was once a DJ and I just about love all music INCLUDING country. I started out this thread disliking Bon Jovi but I really do like the song *Wanted Dead Or Alive* but BJ will be one of the last bands I'll choose to listen to and that also includes the Beatles.

It doesn't bother me that people don't like The Beatles. It was a different era and the songs were pretty poppy. There's a lot of Beatles stuff I like but a lot I find a bit limp. Each to their own.

I will admit it, Day and Age wasn't their best album, but Sam's Town was!!! One of my favorite albums of all time!! I will say though, A Dustland Fairytale from their latest album is their best song ever!

I am not a big Beatles fan. But A Day In The Life is perfection unmatched by anyone else. They actually have a lot of great songs.
it will be wrapped in the FLAG and
carrying a CROSS.
So are you saying that *bands one can't stand* and *HATING* a band are the same thing? To me hate is a very strong word and i really don't to use it at all. Yes the Beatles I can't stand they are NOT going to be the first band I'm going to choose from my collection (I do have several of their albums) if I decided to go back to the 60's and play and I'm from the early 60's. I grew up hearing some of their music but over the years and felt they were overrated....many give them credit as IF they are Holy Grail of rock music. Also if you don't like them something must be mentally wrong with you. I don't hate them they are just not my first choice hear or do I feel compelled to listen to them. The same could be said for the band RUSH, however I respect peoples dislike of that band and leave it at as such. Somebody plays The Beatles for me I'm willing to listen.
If I was to go as far as to *hate* their music (which I wouldn't) I would never ever like them individually. I was once a DJ and I just about love all music INCLUDING country.

Amazing what a dramatic decline that band took. Hot Fuss is one of my favorite albums of the decade. Sam's Town is just ok. Then that last album was pathetically awful.

I will admit it, Day and Age wasn't their best album, but Sam's Town was!!! One of my favorite albums of all time!! I will say though, A Dustland Fairytale from their latest album is their best song ever!

I'll have to check it out. Last time I listened to Day & Age I thought every single song sucked. I hadn't been that disappointed in an album in a really long time.
