    what % of 20 year olds could name the Beatles?

    i don't get it - when I was a kid i knew all the names and who were the stars of my parents generation. just from seeing the records in their record collection and from watching TV reading newspapers and magazines. i just asked a 20 year old if she could give me the names of any or all of the Beatles.


    "Tom john bill bob and curtis.
    Baaaa hahahaha. No, i dont know any. But i know aerosmith band members. Hahaha "

      Maybe her parents don't have Beatles records/CDs...or she's just an idiot.

          well that's obvious but i'm wondering what % of 20 year olds would know.

          the girl in my sig, she loves the Beatles.

          she even wears Beatles stuff

              How many 50 year olds could name the top five younger stars of today?

              It's a generational thing.

                      i'm 45 - music is a thousand times more fragmented than it was in the 70's but I could name 5 stars from most genres.

                          I can't name any of the Beatles or any songs they played.

                          Then again, I can't name most Band members other than if the singer is the name of the band.

                                  I'm 20 and know 'em all. But I'm obsessed with classic rock.

                                      Unfortunately, The Beatles would more than likely be the band her grandparents liked...at this point.

                                      I couldn't tell you shit about the music my grandparents liked either.

                                      Spend you some brain.

                                                          Not everyone is a big music fan. Some people just like songs they hear on the radio and don't really know anything about them.
                                                          you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                                                      I don't know how any kids could not know who they are after the last few weeks.

                                                                      I went into Best Buy with my teenage daughters last week. It was BEATLEMANIA in there. They released the Beatles albums digitally remastered AND at the same time released the Guitar Hero Beatles game. I also believe they finally did the ITunes deal all at the same time.

                                                                      Anyway, I wanted to get the Box Set of all the Beatles albums. But the sales guy told me that the Box Set was sold out of every Best Buy in Las Vegas and was on a 2 week backorder!

                                                                      So I bought The White Album digitally remastered (sounds great by the way)

                                                                      Meanwhile my girls were in line with about 50 teens to play The Beatles guitar hero game which was all set up with a huge display.

                                                                      I ended up buying that for them as well.

                                                                      And for the last week I've been listening to my teenage girls singing everything from "while my guitar gently weeps" to "helter skelter"

                                                                      And all of their friends have it too.

                                                                      So I'd say The Beatles are getting to be very well known amongst teenagers at the moment.

                                                                      Fucking Paul McCartney knows how to make some serious money.

However you added in Oasis which well makes things worse. Simple fact of music life, if you can not make it in the US no matter how well known you are in England or some tiny sausage ville hamlet in Europe. You will be forgotten fairly soon.

And not only did Billy Preston almost become the 5th Beatle...a few years later in the early to mid 1970's he did it again with the Rolling Stones. Toured with them and played on their albums. He was a tremendously talented keyboard player. He passed away a couple of years ago WAY to young. But he lived a helluva life and even had a couple of hit singles on his own during the 1970's.

Probably the band liked by the oldest lamest people she knew such as her parents or that geography teacher who thought he was down with the kidz,.. and came up with... Aerosmith.

                                                                                                                                  But in her head you can rest assured she was thinking, ewwww, gross, old people questions! I'd rather he was just sleazy, like all the rest!
