ahahahaha comparing Oasis to the Beatles - like comparing Rick Astley to Frank Sinatra

i've just been on YouTube going through the Beatles from their start until their end - gives you goose pimples looking at the footage- I was born into Beatlemania, my older sisters had every 45 single, every album, and every piece of Beatle crap imaginable - the Beatles phenomena will NEVER EVER be repeated, it can't be in this day and age, the time and place was a once in forever occurrence. Go look at the footage of their first trip to America - it was pure insanity - you are talking about the Baby Boom generation, the largest bubble of children and teens ever born and every one of them a Beatle maniac, there weren't 50 genres of popular/rock music, there wasn't even FM radio.

i get sick of the Beatles, I'm sure some people in younger generations just out of hand write them off because some people just don't like an older generation telling them that something was the best that came long before them.

As far as the music itself goes, everybody has their own opinion and if somebody 22 years old today prefers Oasis to the Beatles - no surprise there.

As song writers go Lennon and McCartney became freaks of nature - you simply don't write that many songs that will stand the test of time in the relatively short period of time they were together.

ok back to YouTube - I'm watching A Hard Day's Night movie - even the movies they did set trends - look at A Hard Day's Night and Help and Yellow Submarine - those were the very first music videos and you still see their influence in videos made today - almost 20 years before video killed the radio star and MTV was born. No band, no musical artist will ever have the influence on the world that the Beatles did. Can't.
