Why do we have to defend the Beatles to you?
You don't like them. Fine, move on. But having Beatles fans defend their tastes to you while you don't list your reasons for not liking them seems kind of lame.
I know it is weird that everyone can't like the same music as you but you should probably learn to deal with it.

I thought he asked us to. It's not like I always defend what I like.
I would like to hear why you don't like them, are they too "poppy"? Is it the fan base? Just can't get into them?
However, you seem to have good musical tastes, in my opinion.

I did ask you to. As for why I don't like them, there exists several, different-length answers. To summarize that, I will break the explanation down by reasons. I. Compared to other pop of the era, their sound is relatively flat. I can get past their simplicity, but they just don't sound full, like they're even attempting at making music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnFU-bMDICEwww.youtube.com/watch?v=2w-_Vtttrfc&fmt=18www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E4FRtrD9aQII. As far as psychedelia goes, they did MMT and half of Revolver right, but Sgt Pepper's, though taking obvious cues from the Beach Boys, is utter garbage. Maybe it's where it sounds like what the Wiggles would if they were stoned and had a couple of horns, or maybe it's the terrible, Queen-tier lyrics, but I just can't stand it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdov2UIjUpYwww.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk0dBZ1meiowww.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb9u0DHuFdQ&feature=relatedwww.youtube.com/watch?v=kiDmHKvGe4s(Wow. This looks like a Pet Sounds plug.) III. Compared to the rest of the "Big Three", they are heinous. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MnDbWqe_kQwww.youtube.com/watch?v=SHhrZgojY1Qwww.youtube.com/watch?v=pohhMx9EdNcwww.youtube.com/watch?v=WJDnJ0vXUgwwww.youtube.com/watch?v=eyyLOOvwItswww.youtube.com/watch?v=C39kQoprfP0I'll spare you the rest, but let it be known that I know what I'm dealing with. As I've said on LS, I was a huge Beatle fan myself when I was like... seven or eight. I didn't come to hate them through over-exposure, I just heard other music. Please don't use those kind of insults here. - Kyle |

My god are you touchy. I've never even considered "[genre/band] fag" an insult. It's just a label, much like "hipster" or "tool" or "wannabe".

I. What do you mean by "full", oh do you mean like this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrkwgTBrW78II. Yes they did love Pet Sounds, but that doesn't mean you should treat it like it is a cover. It's a different album, different songs, same times. (Also SGT. Peppers is one of my favorite Beatles albums  ) III. Keep in mind that most of the songs you posted were after The Beatles.... And that /is/ an opinion, but hey so is mine. Do keep in mind that you are the minority when it comes to this. |

This is coming from someone who loves the Who Though I listened to them a bunch yesterday, I'm not much of a Who fan. |

Koro
It seems to me that you want to be hated.
You think Beatlesfag is a compliment then?
Frankly using fag is also a double insult since it is short for faggot, which makes fun of gays.
I'd just watch what you say dude, even if you don't think so you can hurt people.

Really this thread can go nowhere, but only into fighting and name calling.
I'd prefer that this be locked.

Why in the hell would I want to be hated? Last time I checked, I'm not an egotist or a character from Lost.
Labels =/= compliments.
I know what a fag is.
Things are only offensive if you take them offensively.

OK, Koro. You took this too far. A discussion is fine, but calling people fags is not. I'm locking this thread and giving you a warning this time, but next time you call someone a fag or anything similar, you will be banned for a while.
