Title: Why do we like the beatles so much??
Post by: number14 on July 07, 2004, 12:37:54 AM
I wanna see your guys opinion on this i have two questions

1.Why does everyone (except for some) Love The beatles?

2. What do the beatles have that other bands dont?


3. Who is more skilled at songwriting beetween George Harrison, Paul mcartney and John Lennon.

I am just wondering what you guys think about this and stuff, because i dont realy know all the real facts about the beatles.

1. Because they rule.  They are all skilled musicians.  They revolutionized the music scene and most importantly, the songs and music are good.

2.Lennon/McCartney

3.Paul McCartney.  I dunno why.  Maybe I'm just in a Paul mood right now, but it will shift back to John soon

your answer to #1 was good, but lots of other bands have realy good songs too. And good music.

but they don't have Lennon/McCartney.  Thats what set the Beatles above the rest.

I think a lot has to do with the whole Beatles legend. They came around at the perfect time when people needed to be uplifted and that feeling about them being something special has stayed with them throughout the years. Sort of passed down to each generation. I think a lot of bands at that time put out great music but I don't think any of them evolved as much as the Beatles did in such a short time. Plus the 4 personalities really created amazing chemistry. They each have an good amount of natural charm and charisma. Much more than the members of other groups past and present. I also think that breaking up when they did helped maintain the myth.

1. Because they're timeless, their music is still good 40 years later and it will always be good. They had a love for what they did and they had an amazing sound. In all the Beatles were revolutionary, and there's no one better than them.
2. John, Paul, George, & Ringo and none of them can ever be matched or equaled
3. Can't chose between Paul & John although I really love George's songs, Paul and John were more skilled at it.
