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?

It wasn't only the music, it was an entire cultural movement. I lived through it, and in my opinion, some of these posts are obviously from people that don't know what they are talking about. It's like some 14 year old trying to explain WWII to a veteran that was there! No one needs to defend the Beatles, their place in history is already established.

No doubt.

Chasmal, you WILL be converted and sing the praises of the Beatles (and McCartney too) before its all over.....there is no other way!

Cyclonicman,

Please don't presume to speak for an entire generation. I was there and actively listening to and collecting the current artists. There was so much talent and good music available The Beatles only rated two albums in my collection and they did not get much play. Beatles--music and historical impact overrated to the max.

One must understand that the curmudgeon must raise its head from time to time to catch some air.
Levy03,
I'm afraid you've unwittingly given them another opportunity.
IMO: Your original post was more than reasonable but seems its been sabotaged.

Levy03 -
Apologies if I contributed to the "sabotaging" of your thread. I was/am a Beatles fan without the remasters and frankly doubt I'll get them. Glad they gave you a reason to listen, however. I lived through the original "Beatlemania" as an early teen (7th & 8th grade when they first hit) and for me it was amazing. My post in response to Chasmal was simply based on shock at his opinion. I didn't realize he'd posted before on the topic of the Fab 4.

Chasmal - With all sincerity, you are more than welcome to your opinion (but you don't need me to tell you that) and I'm glad to hear what you think. Such differences are what 'make the world go 'round'.
