I find it fascinating on a musicians forum that other users are decried for simply not liking the output of another musician; calling them anything else is ridiculous. Since when was one person's personal taste open to negative posts or ridicule?
I find McCartney's voice, in the main, boring and bland, Harrison's guitar work insipid in the main & Lennon from most accounts sounds like a hypocritical b.o.a.t. which doesn't lend him to open consideration.
[i]I do have a few Beatles recordings, couldn't tell you the last time I played any of it, don't miss it & never find myself humming one of their tunes walking down the street.[/i]
The same could be said of any average punter in the street of any band you care to mention, but because it's The Beatleszzzzz it's makes you tasteless, or in denial? Get [s]Back[/s] real!

Aye! It's all subjective.
If you asked my mother, who's been a piano teacher for 50 years, what she thought about the Beatles (or the Stones, or Beyonce, or Led Zep, for that matter!) she'd say "rubbish, it's just pop music/a noise/populist nonsense". But if you dared to diss Bach, or Mozart, or Beethoven she would think you a Philistine... She doesn't understand that not everybody likes the same things.
I did, however, get her up dancing to Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers once!
