any new Beatle fans because of the remasters?

gotta admit that the beatles were never really my cup of tea. they were a little before my time but i do remember my older sisters jamming to them when i was very young. thought they were ok and liked a few of their cuts but was never really a fan. i did have a huge amount of respect for them but never really "liked" their music.

all this remaster talk got me to try a couple of the discs recently (white album and revolver). couldn't believe how much i enjoyed them!. maybe i never gave them a chance in the first place?. maybe my tastes have matured/changed?. maybe the recording sound alot better??. most likely it's a combo of all of the above. regardless....i'm really "liking" them now. defiantly gonna buy a few more or maybe even the box set.

better late then never

anyone else a new fan?

Chasmal - couldn't disagree more and find yours an amazing comment since in the view of many they changed music history.

I have heard that they 'changed music history' so many times, but it still doesn't change anything. It is simply a case of the cart leading the horse. Critics, fans, and everyone else jumped on that Beatle bandwagon. Did they change history or did history change to accommodate their run of fame? Everyone loves a winner, especially when there is money to be made! I think they would have nothing if not for the American music they lifted and adapted. Yes, they had some great innovations, I do not deny this. But greatest composer/musicians in history? Hardly.

ok folks...i think my post/question might have been misinterpreted or too vague. wasn't looking to start a fire or anything like that.

was just wondering if the remaster's have in some way, turned others on (or back on) to the band?. maybe gave them a 2nd look/listen and discovered that you enjoyed it alot more then you'd thought?.

touchy subject around here or what? =)

It is probably touchy because of the 50 or 60 beatle posts already on this site. I am so sick of the beatles! It has been beaten to death.

People that weren't there when it happened cannot understand and their intellectual arguments are without merit to those who experienced that historical era.
