This is for my own karma really, as I feel I've been a tad negative lately. I do actually like The Beatles you know.
Just a few;
Lennon/McCartney are the greatest songwriting duo ever, of any time or any place.
They are the coolest most photogenic band of all time.
Rubber Soul is my favourite album of all time.
McCartney is a bassist par excellence
After 40 years Lennons vocal on a Day In The Life still sends a shiver down my spine and Walrus is genius.
George has great hair.
Tomorrow Never Knows is a work of genius in combining unlistenable avante garde with pop.
Rain, Hey Jude, Eleanor Rigby, Ticket To ride, Paperback Writer......

You can play six Beatles albums in a row and never skip a track.
You can do the housework to Rubber Soul and enjoy it.
You have to give Paul and Ringo points for not ever doing a real job and getting to pension age.
John liked cats.
George produced some good films  

[BlueMeanie]

I should probably add to this, as I suspect that there are a few people here who think I don't like The Beatles at all!

You can listen to ANY Beatles album, and enjoy the housework.

Though I'm often critical of Lennon's solo career, he seems to have written most of my favourite Beatles songs.

If it hadn't been for The Beatles, I probably would not have got into music at such a young age. Therefore I'd probably have ended up a Chris De Burgh fan!

The opening riff to Paperback Writer is still the best I've ever heard.

I first got talking to Mrs BM because of The Beatles.

I seem to have 'met' some very nice people on a Beatles forum!

PS. Great thread Kev!

[An Apple Beatle]

Hey guys, this is nice.

I never fail to enjoy running my fingers over the very same incredible fret patterns they employed.
There is no place like home.....The Beatles are my musical home.
never fail to enjoy singing every harmony at one time or another.
They are just so darn bloody admirable.
After all these years i am still not bored of them.

[BlueMeanie]

And you can't say that about many artists. I'm not bored with The Kinks either, but then I've probably only listened to them about a tenth of the amount of time.

Yep. Even on the few occassions I find them bad (Maxwells Silver Hammer, Octopuses Garden, Only A Northern Song, Good Morning Good Morning) they always stay interesting. Except Savoy Truffle. Damn. But if you're ever in a quiz about Beatle songs that check place names Montelimar is always good for a sneeky point.

[BlueMeanie]

Shame, it's a great little song in the making. Just bloody awful lyrics! Though I know some people here adore it. And I'm supposed to be being nice.

the beatles are the coolest and most interesting band
what other band could i dedicate a whole day to watching a listening to there stuff ?
they have the greatest songwriting team ever
the best bassist ever ( maybe not technically but melodically appealing to my taste)
trend setters
there music can shift my mood like no other band
The Beatles got me through a very tough time.
they saved me.

and brought me to here

Fantastic thread but i dont think youre alone quite a few us have all been a little negative on the beatles lately pointing out there flaws or nitpicking rather than celebrating what they did do and what they gave us.
also ive been hardest on George in a lot of topics and would like to add George was a great person more than anything, had great feeling in his music, had great dance moves and was always witty in interviews.

peace

That's all part of the fun when people start hero worshipping! But it makes a change to have a 'love in'!

Btw fenders, where did you get the images for your sig? I've seen them before, of course, but never as drop tones like that.

[size=14]The Beatles are the original "Supergroup".

Three brilliant songwriter/performers
and
a drummer who laid the foundation
for all their unsurpassed records[/size]

[adamzero]

There were the coolest, least pretentious group of musical geniuses who truly brought out the best in each other.  They were never content to rest on their laurels.  And though they were human, like all of us with our faults and foibles, they seemed to promote love, unity, tolerance, understanding and freedom in their work.   Not much to argue with there.

[Beatlemaniac64]

^I completely agree with that, nice post!

-They can completely 100% switch by mood from this:   to this:  
-I feel very proud and honored to play the same notes, chords, and songs they did on guitar
-What else would I be doing right now, and every single day? They're my life.
-I've become interested in other people and bands because of them
-John has a kick-butt rock 'n' rolly voice and he's an amazing songwriter
-They cause you to meet a new friend (ever notice how all of their fans are usually nice people?)
-They serve as heroes in many ways and a lot of us wanna be just like 'em
-Paul has the honor of being my first and only crush (don't get me wrong though, they all are VERY good-looking!) and he's one of the best bassists ever with a beautiful voice
-Their music is the soundtrack of our lives, you find a song to fit ANY situation
-George, in my eyes, is the best guitarist of all-time, "Something" alone proves it
-I never get bored with them, their music, books, movies...
-Ringo's drum beat is just perfect for the Beatles and he's just an all-around awesome guy
-None of them could ever be replaced by someone else, those four guys were meant to be!
-They're all four funny, charming, cool, and great people that aren't spoiled by fame
-Every time I see their faces or hear their voices, I smile  

Great thread, by the way!

[Flaming Pie in the Sky]

Aw, what a nice thread!  

You could say the Beatles invented MTV.
They were almost entirely responsible for kicking off the British Invasion.
Sgt. Pepper is often referred to as the most important album in the evolution of modern rock n' roll.

And above all,

George has great hair.

 

[wingsman]

Everyone talks about them even almost 40 years they disbanded.
Every place they were is now a real myth.
Their records are available even in the crapiest record store. (I know that!   )
You couldn't turn off the radio if one of their songs is being played. (At least that happens to me)

I'm not sure if that sounds like a compliment!
