The Beatles


What the hell is the fascination with the beatles??? Please can anyone tell me why anybody likes them??? They were horrible musicians, their music was sugarcoated pop with cute hooks and they took themselves to be serious music writers with a message. Beethoven would probably would have laughed

dekay: i have sources in the recording biz (my older son and his dj wife-whoa!). anyway, i'll check out actual release dates. i can usually get stuff a month or more ahead of announced release dates.
Thanks Tubegroover for reminding me of the great cutting edge work by Pat Boone. The intire music industry owes it's great rewards to this "master".
Cornfed: No hurry, the last time I heard "I am Jeep" was in the summer of 1972 on a Sansui quad set up in Hawaii:-)
PS: I did find some gems other than "All Things", Fleetwood Mac - Kiln House and the BBC Sessions, "The Best of Chaka Khan" volume one and Dudley Moore "Live from an Aircraft Hangar".
Some of the confusion about Harrison and Clapton's lead playing may come from the fact that Harrison played on Cream's "Badge" (through a Leslie speaker, so it has a distinct "swirling" sound) under the name of Mister Mysterioso and Clapton played lead on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," released about the same time.
