The Beatles

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 

Parents
  • I don't like them, don't like any of their songs and can't understand why they are seen to be so great.

    I have never listened to a Taylor Swift song so I cannot make any judgement about her career, but I believe that David Bowie contributed far more to the world of music than any other artist.

  • Without the Beatles, David Bowie's career would not have been possible. Ignoring anyone's likes or dislikes, the Beatles were essential to the process that allowed British popular music to operate on a par with that of the USA.

  • Bowie was influenced by John Lennon (and I find the songs he wrote ok, just not what I enjoy  listening to, while I actively dislike those written by Paul McCartney) however he was also influenced by many other artists including Pink Floyd front man Syd Barrett, Marc Bolan, Velvet Underground, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Iggy Pop, and The Legendary Stardust Cowboy (Ziggy Stardust was an amalgamation of the last two)

  • He produced Lou Reed's 'Transformer' album. But it is really the Beatles historical importance, rather than them musically influencing other artists I was emphasising. Before the Beatles, British popular music was Lonnie Donegan, Tommy Steele and Cliff Richard and they were not going to set the world on fire.
