I was kind of wondering the same thing. The beatles aren't exactly my favorite...far from it actually...but some of the things being said in this thread seem woefully ignorant to me.

and everyone is entitled to like or not like something. i'm just curious if these peeps have ever in their life written/recorded a song. Sure, "I want to hold you hand" are cheese lyrics. the Beatles in true form are their mid-to-late works; music so far ahead of its time: Rubber Soul, Sgt. Peppers, Magical Myster Tour, et al. Brian Wilson, arguabely one of the greatest musicians/song-writers of all time gave up on his concept album, Smile, because Sgt. Peppers blew his mind so much that he just gave up. Primarily because it was the sound he wanted to make - one that hadn't been done before. it wasn't until 40 years later he finished that album. all because of the Beatles. I could go on....but, this topic is overrated.
