I don't like The Beatles, am I the only one?

[ThatM1key]

I can’t say for sure that I’ve heard a Taylor Swift song.

I remember when she was first coming out. She was country, now she does mainstream pop for brainlets.

What is a brainlet? Not heard that one before. I don't think her appeal is so specific anyways.

Don't forget about this group. We wouldn't have their fantastic songs if the Beatles hadn't existed:

The Rutles - Ouch!​

A pejorative regarding limited intelligence.

They copied their style pretty well. I used to listen to "I Must Be In Love" a lot as a kid.

Her first 2 albums were pretty country. Should give it a listen some time.

Country? Folk? Bluegrass? Some combo?

I'm not sure it's true
Some bands are timeless&
Nirvana 30 years after Kurt's death are as popular as always with the younger generation
There aren't many new rock bands that are very good in the last few decades, if any at all

Where have I heard that before? All you have done is indicate that you are probably under 45 and have no sense of irony . Someone around my age would say nearly the same thing about a band/singer/song writer of the 60s and 70s. Someone younger than either of us will say a similar thing about the early 2000s.

There are lots of artists and genres that I am not very fond of, but I will give their them due for their skill and influence on future generations of artists.

Unlike we fools sitting in our lounge chairs, half asleep in front of the speakers, musicians and singers such as the late Kurt Cobain are fullsome in there acknowledgement of previous eras. They know they are "standing on the shoulders of giants".

6 Degrees of the Beatles - the Bonzo's biggest hit (I'm The Urban Spaceman) was produced by "Apollo Vermouth" aka Paul McCartney & Gus Dudgeon. The Rutles were cooked up by Eric Idle (Monty Python) and Neil Innes (Bonzo Dog Band) with a little help from Idle's friend George Harrison. Monty Python's "Life of Brian" got major funding from George Harrison. It's a small world after all.

I generally agree. I don't care much for most of the Beatles material however soon after I read PearlJam5000's post the song You're gonna Lose that Girl came into my head and I've had it bouncing around in there all day but it is kinds snappy. There are some numbers I like. If you listen to their demo recordings or early runs of songs you might hear them as children's songs. The Beatles weren't adults. A lot of the material is childlike. Also, the Beatles were influenced by English stage music and that is far from Rock n Roll.

What language are you writing in?

 

[estuardo4]

Every generation thinks that the music from their formative years is 'the best'.

Not to me. And I guess, not to many on this forum.
I'm always looking for the best, most imaginative individual pr group. Of any age or genre.

EXACTELY!

Its called diversity, exploring and challenging yourself

Start with Delta Blues. Hmm, that's 40+ years before I was born!
