According to the research I did two years back, boyband history originated from them.

boybands of today should be thankful to Beatles..

You say you love the beach boys Did you know brian willson locked himself in a room with the beatles white ablum playing over and over just before he wrote pet sounds?

I like some of their songs, but I was never really a fan of the band.

Over rated. Jeez. Gimme a break. As Thing Fish would say, "Boy your ignint."

There is a Beatles album for everyone. Pepper, Let it Be, Rubber Soul, White...

Purchasing a greatest hits collection is listening to the songs out of context.

Each album has it's own flavor and should be enjoyed individually for the experience.

trust me i could possible change your mind after a couple of posts, but with like 1bil people that do not find beatles overated it won't make any difference ;)

For their time and what they did and how the people reacted would be comparitable to the Australian band of Daddy Cool at the time. To date both are still talked about, musicaly copied/inspired off and both still make nice coin from their albums.

Wether or not people like the Beatles thats debatable, but their longlevity and success is easy to see.

bleh. you can't like the beach boys without liking the beatles... they developed in tandem and in creative opposition to each other.. without rubber soul, Brian wouldn't have written some of his best songs they way he did and vice versa with pet sounds.

There's your trouble right there. Anyone can have a large music collection, and everyone has certain tastes in music they like. But not everyone has the capicity to appreciate the impact certain artists had on the world.

I'm not the greatest Beatles fan, I never bought their albums actually. None of their songs were ever "my all time favorite" or anything.... but I can certainly tell you about what a huge huge impact they made, and just how many bands and solo artists they have inspired over the decades.

You can listen to tunes all you want, but you either have the sense of appreciating the history of rock or you don't. I wasn't around in the 50's and am not an owner of a lot of 50's albums, but I can certainly imagine the incredible impact some of those tunes had.

Appreciate man. Use your imagination. Talk to people who were there.... get a feel of what it was like for kids at school in the weeks following the release of some of the Beatles albums, not to mention the day they first landed in N. America.

Then you might know.

Right On!
