After working at the music store, I can confirm that today's modern Beatles audience is primarily comprised of yuppies and hipsters.

hyrulevyse | 151 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Their place in history is unassailable, but I've always greatly preferred The Who.

acromite53 | 337 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) 10/10 Is this even up for debate? I adore The Beatles. It is incredible how much stellar material they put out in a relatively short amount of time. Like 7 years? Their music evolved so radically from beginning to their end. Lennon-McCartney were such a powerhouse of composing songs. And The Beatles musical catalogue got even stronger once George Harrison was allowed more songs as his writing abilities improved. I love their early rock N roll merseybeat sound "With the Beatles" 1963, folky inspired "Rubber Soul" 1965, experimental "Revolver" 1966, "White Album" 1968 getting more independent with distinct writing styles from each member. I could go on. I enjoy all of their albums because each one brings Something New. I've listened to all of their songs. And their albums front to back so many times. It is alarming how many people dismiss the Beatles just based on their extremely tired and overplayed radio selection. Go below that top surface to experience much better songs. The Beatles aren't just "Come Together" , "Let it Be", and "Hey Jude". You think you know the Beatles just by listening to the radio? And then you can get into all of their solo careers. These guys were truly great. And there is so much stories and information about them. You've got the movies which are great. Check out "A Hard Days Night". I know a lot of y'all are joking about the Monkees. I'll say that I like them too. They've got some great songs. Yes they used session musicians but you cant deny they have great songs. I applaud them for wanting to break from that cycle and start writing and producing their own music.

trj22487 | 350 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Beatles achieved so much in such a short period of time and changed the world forever that it's hilarious when people try to discredit all sorts of stuff. One thing that doesn't get brought up often enough is they essentially ended segregation in Southern United States on the spot. They refused to play in front of a crowd where blacks had to sit separately from whites, and literally in handfuls of hours segregated seating in the South was done away with forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabonga | 2,317 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Basically there were three phases of the Beatles - the average of the three brings the score down to maybe a 7 - but at the peak they were a 10. Their best period IMHO was Rubber Soul to Sgt. Peppers. Their earlier stuff was mostly pop - and their early success was more due to a fad appeal rather than creating music that was way ahead of most of what else was on the popular music scene at the time. After Sgt. Peppers they began to take themselves too seriously - they still did some excellent stuff but they stuffed a lot of mediocre (although technically polished) stuff in with it.
