I doubt it if most of you were Beatles fans before the Anthology documentary eleven years ago or the 1 compilation. Since I have been a Beatles fan since I first heard them on the radio in my parent's car way back in 69. I didn't know their history or their classic rock albums or their latest ones at the time until I was 11/12 way back in 75/76. You kids who are into the Fab 4 today are a rare breed indeed of your generation since most of them are into Jessica Simpson, Justin Timberlake & Black Eyed Peas. I wouldn't doubt it, if you get picked on in school, because you're a Beatles fan these days, from your classmates since it's like your parents or grandparent's music. I know there are some of you who have been fans for a long time just like myself. Hopefully I can have some intelligent discussions on this site & I don't care whether you agree or disagree with me on any topic.
I want you, I want you so bad babe. I want you, I want you so bad. It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.

most of you? how young do you think the people here are? btw, there may be a small group of my generation that still likes pop artists like them but a majority listen to punk, emo, indie, rap or classic rock. and i have never been picked on for loving the beatles or any other classic rock bands. its actually a turn on sometimes.
intelligent conversations? some of us try but if we disagree with you we get called a liberal wacko. my kingdom for an intelligent octopus

Wow, I didn't think it possible that someone could be so wrong, about so many things, so often, but you Wayne hold the record! Oh and by the way, as usual you are wrong again Wayne...
In ways hes right, I got into The Beatles the beginning of my senior year which was about 3 or 4 years ago. When I started listening to them, my friends who listened to heavy metal and heavier classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin made fun of me for it. They were like "Dude, thats what my parents listen to". I never cared too much because unlike them I had a mind of my own and didn't listen to the music they did for the sake of fitting in. Nowadays I'm more into Wings than The Beatles, I still love The Beatles though.
'1' is the album that converted most of the younger generation in my opinion. At the time, I think it was the 'in' thing to own it. As for the Anthology, I would think that you would have had to already been a fan of the group to really be interested in it. I dont know anybody that was swayed to become a Beatle fan because of the Anthology. I mean, if an Anthology came out for the Spice Girls, I wouldnt buy it because I had no prior interest in them. Same difference.
ya, 1 converted me and others of my generation when it came out. i started listening to yellow submarine, then went to a few songs after that, then went back to love me do and from me to you. eventually i listened to the entire thing for without skipping songs but it took me awhile to get through the section between Eight days a week and Paperback Writer.

I actually became a Beatles fan because of the Anthology. For some reason I've always been fascinated with demos, outtakes, B-sides and stuff like that. I owned Anthology 2 before I owned any of the regular albums. Listening to Anthology 2 a lot made me want to hear the final versions of all those songs, that's why I started collecting all the regular albums.
But you're right, of course I was already somewhat interested in the Beatles before I got the Anthology CDs.

That's pretty cool BP, to dive in head first, going for the more obscure stuff right off the bat. Me, myself, and I have all been fans before, during, and after the Anthology series.
The Beatles are -fortunately- still up-to-date and that's what counts, either young or not so young anymore, we all love their music and their qualities. I'm became a fan when I was 10 - look up my profile and do your own maths.

I don't know how somebody could be so wrong but he is. My sister turned me on to The Beatles maybe when I was in grade 1 and she has regretted it ever since and I'm 27 now. I owned the Red album, the blue album, rock and roll versions 1 and 2 and The Early Beatles. When The Anthology came out I got it on cd and started buying the regular albums and I'll be a Beatles fan till the day I die. I don't care who knows it my friends may bug me about it but they know it's good music so they don't seriously bug me because they have no real arguments.

I go on last.fm, and Beatles are still very much alive in terms of music,,. My parents had Beatle tapes and LPs, but the LPs "disappeared" but anyhow...I liked the Beatles before the anthology, and it's just a bit overgeneralized to say teens listen to Justin T. or Black eyed peas, so many people that I know listen to classical rock,

well well well, someone actually figured out where that quote came from. my hat's off to you sir. btw can you find season 5 in stores? i have managed to find 1-4 and 6-11 on dvd but not 5. its the weirdest thing. and its the last one with our blessed frank.

John on M*A*S*H would have been neat like what happens if they would have had him singing "Give Peace A Chance" instead of Captain Spaulding?
You can still buy season 5 here but why not try Amazon or Ebay or why even bother if you've heard the news lately 2oth Century Fox is releasing the complete series plus the movie and 2 disks of special features in one box set for some $200 USD. But they arn't releasing the special features to people any other way so the people like me who've been loyal and have been buying the sets feel cheated that the only way to get the special features is to re buy the whole series. I hope Fox rectifies the situation as no one is very happy about it.

I never became a serious Beatles fan until I listened to a Day in the Life in class at school, and then the Sgt. Peppers album sealed the deal. Then it was Revolver and Rubber Soul, and then Abbey Road, and then Magical Mystery Tour,.... and so it went. My love for the Beatles grew exponentially in that way, and really, it still is.
We have a tape of me from when I was 10, saying "I like the Beatles.... do you like the Beatles? ....Okay, let's turn off the tape now so we can listen to the Beatles." That would have been around the time that "1" cam eout but I don't think I was aware of it. My dad also used to sing me Beatles songs when I wa sgrowing up in the '90s, but again, I wasn't aware of the Anthology. I don't see why it matters anyway. As long as someone is listening to the Beatles, who cares how they discovered them?
You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.
I used to have tapes of me and my friends interviewing the Beatles. I'd be Paul adn my best friend would be Ringo and so on. I haven't heard the tapes in so long. I wonder if we did the accents. How or why you became a fan has no relevance whatsoever. It's just in some peoples natures to belittle others for absolutely nothing.
The fisrt time i held a beatle my hand was when i was 8 years old [1970] my older brothers friend was giving me a choice of 2 records to have ,one was a woman called cilla black, the other was a group called the beatles ,it was hey jude i looked at the labels , according to my mother at a very early age ,when asked i was able to put records on before i could read by the labels ,so for me the green apple was the winner [i still have the record ] .And to this day its my alltime favorite song .but 3 years later i was at a local fair and i heard a song coming from one of the rides ,it helen wheels i had to have this record ,at the time i was into t .rex ,imagine my shock when i saw the label a apple ! . so i heard he had [macca] a album coming out band on the run i soon put 2 +2 together that mr mccartney was in the beatles and they just released the red and blue album , bought those loved them and then got a album what changed my life ,sgt peppers lonley hearts club band it just blew me away ,and that was it for me the beatles became the sound track of my life .

*way* before. I was 9 when I became a fan,I got my first Beatles book for my 11th birthday,and I had every album by the age of 13. I was born during the middle of their recording career too.
Yeah!!! Of course!! I became interested in the Beatles since I was 10, actually I fell in love with them at that age, but I've been listening to them since I was born, my father you know!! And I'm 25 now!! Although I agree that a lot of people did it when The Anthologies were released, actually some friends of mine did!
yes...before the anthology... i was born in 1993...John Died 11 years after my born (december 80/january 93) in 2001, a few month after george's death, i began listening a hard days night (firate)...then the One...then mamgical mystery tour....then...yellow submarine songtrack (2003 the last 2)...christmas i recieved the anthology cds (pirates) and let it be naked....christmas 2004..Anthology DVDS Originals
Nope! I never would have got into them at all if my younger sister hadn't called me and said, "You'll never believe this! I've seen this Beatles special on TV, and they used to wear black leather! You've got to see it!"
So I'm quite the late-comer. I decided way back when I was 11 that I wasn't going to listen to the Beatles because my older sister liked them and I was rebelling or establishing my own identity or something. But once Anthology came out... I was hooked! Thank goodness for second chances.
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison
At the height of Beatlemania, I had to take my nine year old sister to see A Hard Day's Night three times. I liked the Beatles from the time I first heard them in the fall of 1963 but it wasn't until Rubber Soul that I became a true fan. They were maturing in their song writing and recording in 1965. i was growing up too.
