The Beatles

190E(Taylor’s version)

What do you all think about the Beatles i like them but I don’t think they’re the best band ever ti of lived like your supposed to

yes they’re a great rock and rock band but not better than dsy thr who but they have one thing most rock snd roll bands Dont have a considerably consistently good music catalogue 

it’s a shame the rest of the Merseybeat bands never mad sit as big 

noe on the subject bigger than the Beatles ive always though nothing that has this tagline is true but I do think one person may be and thats Taylor swift she’s been popular since she was 15 she’s 35 now and abour to release her 12th studio album and has had many genres covered and has sold our show to the extern fans have listen o the show from outside the stadiums

also wirhout Paul rhe Beatles wouldn’t be that great I think John is so good becuase of Paul and George didn’t come into his own h till his solo carrer snd his Wilbury days

  • I’ve always found it a bit of a cliché to put The Beatles on this unreachable pedestal, as if no music before or since could ever matter as much. Of course they were talented, and of course they changed the landscape of popular music in the 60s, but I’ve never quite bought into the idea that they are the pinnacle of what music can be. For me, it feels more exciting to discover and support new artists who are creating fresh sounds right now, rather than circling back to a band that’s been talked about for sixty years straight.

    I’ll give them credit though, they did have an unusually consistent catalogue, and not every group from that era could say the same. Most of the other Merseybeat bands faded out quickly while The Beatles managed to stay inventive and relevant during their run. Still, when people talk about them as “the greatest ever,” it almost shuts down the conversation about everything that’s come since. Music didn’t peak in 1969.

    That’s why I find Taylor Swift such an interesting comparison. She’s managed to reinvent herself across genres, stay relevant for two decades, and has built a global fan base that goes far beyond a “moment.” You could argue she has matched or even surpassed the Beatles in terms of cultural reach, especially when you see fans standing outside her sold-out stadium shows just to listen. That kind of longevity and impact across generations is rare.

    As for the band members themselves, I agree that Paul’s role was huge in shaping the band. John’s brilliance often worked best in contrast with Paul’s structure and drive. George really only seemed to hit his full stride later on, with his solo work and the Traveling Wilburys. It makes me think the myth of the Beatles as “untouchable legends” is more complicated than people like to admit.

    So yes, they’re an important band, but I’d rather celebrate artists who are writing the story of music now rather than revisiting the same old narrative forever.

    At two decades, TS isn't exactly breaking any records. McCartney has been going for 68 years. Maybe TS is only getting warmed up.
