Kevin unless what? I was curious to see if I would find out about people who had once hated them and became fans not to contact them,I never did I was just curious what would turn up if I typed in the seach engine"I used to Hate The Beatles" and I found out about many people. Maybe you are more of a Rolling Stones fan? I wasn't the one arguing about The Beatles haircuts I was the one who pointed out how ridiculous Scaruffi is for mentioning it! You know you are giving me the same hassle the anti-Beatles people who were listening to Scaruffi on the other site I had been on! I really didn't expect to get this here! I know I'm not wrong at all I'm glad I found out about the guy Tim on this other site who said the Saruffi's Beatles page was a horrah and he didn't want to read that garbage again! And I found a few other people mentioning on a few other sites that Scaruffi's a Beatles hater who doesn't have a clue.

Don't worry. If I have any kids I'll give them to Bobber so he can raise them proper. Am I on some kind of list now?
The kind of list someone invents when they're trying (and obviously failing) to be funny. By the way, BP likes The Beach Boys more than The Beatles, so I think you should go for him first.
I think debate is healthy, but remember to try and go easy on the sarcasm as it tends to offend. Especially with new members who may not know that it's only meant in a light hearted way.
Not liking The Beatles for *good* reason? I hope you meant for no good reason! Because as we know there isn't any good reason not to like them except maybe a few songs. And otherwise it wouldn't make any sense with the rest of what you said. But everything else you said is so right on! I have posted this on this site already but I'm going to tell you,that I have found over 40 former Beatles haters on many different message boards and web sites who are now big Beatles fans. I didn't communicate with them at all,but they wrote that they had a lot of misperceptions about them and hadn't even heard most of their albums and songs. Most people of all ages love or at least like The Beatles worldwide,and most people don't hate them in the first place. But most people don't go from hating a group to loving them and becoming big fans! This just really goes to show how great The Beatles really are! If you type in quotes " I used to hate The Beatles" on the google.com search engine you will find these people.
Yeah it was a typing error, i meant 'no good reason'. I agree with kevin, these discussions are healthy, and even let us get down to the heart of why we really like the beatles pure music, and what's so great about them. But for me, the music stands as an argument for itself, we don't really need to do it. Like you said in one of your previous posts, just listen to rubber soul, abbey road, white album, MMT, ect. to see what i'm talking about, and if they dont care then, oh well that's them isn't it?

Yes. I think the moment got to me and I apologise to all concerned. I'll even do a
Only to show that Mr PS is neither original or alone in his thoughts, but I've just read a quote from Joe Meek, the "famous" producer, who in the 60's described The Beatles as "just another bunch of noise, copying other people's music." I neither condone nor agree with that statement, but it seems he was fairly knowlegable and well thought of.
"The Beatles are not merely awful. They are so unbelievably horrible, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art, that they qualify as crowned heads of antimusic" - William F. Buckley, Jr (Journalist)
Pete Townsend: "John [Entwistle] and I were listening to a stereo L.P. of The Beatles in which the voices come out of one side, and the backing track comes out of the other. And when you actually hear the backing tracks of The Beatles without their voices, they're flippen lousy." Asshol*

Who cares? (no pun intented) The Who sucks. One of the most overrated bands in music history. They couldn't even play a decent version of Barbara Ann...

Never cared for them either. Magic Bus is apalling. And I find Beatle backing and arranging far better than anything they did.

Pete Townsends singing, for one thing.
I've never been a fan of Roger Daltry's voice. Moon hits too many drums, Entwhistle plays too many notes, and Townsend can't play lead to save his life. Great band then!
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
