What makes The Beatles music still beautifull today

[Timcognito]

The girls screamed the media jumped. TV and Radio hype made their very good music better that others of the time. We all heard everything them and some of the others who were as good or better. Early on, all of Motown, Chuck Berry, Beach Boys, Righteous Bros., Jame Brown, Rolling Stones, Animals, The Who, Mamas and Papas, Young Rascals ... and onward to name just a few and that is just the Rock and Roll genre. There fame came just as Elvis', Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, not just by their talent but the media sensation. Their media fame as much as their music made them superstars.

Being old I heard the music groups in my youth. Beatles were the nice guys, Rolling Stones the bad ones. I was always on the bad side. The Beatles songs are great in musicality I admit. But I like the harder rhythm and pace. So I like also Punk like the great Ramones.

I am a melody person, and I like lyrics that sound innocuous, but aren’t.

It's simple, great music is timeless, hence why we still listen to Mozart, Beatles, etc.

This is true. Do young people still listen to Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Beatles or is it the mostly generations that came to age during their heyday?

Young people listen to whatever it takes to get the attention of a mate. More charitably, they listen to music that is aimed at their concerns. Young people think they are the first generation to have a painful adolescence.

It seems to me that for most of my life there has been a divide between innocuous pop and edgy non classical, perhaps descended from the Stones.

I think the audience is more fragmented now, since streaming has made vast catalogs available to everyone.

Yes more the point is the demographic of most Beatles listeners old people? Frank? Taylor, certainly not. Mike, middle age?

Melody is not highly valued these days. Nor is squishy sentiment.

Humor used to be a thing. And working around censorship. Getting forbidden things on the radio.

The censorship is still there and the party is getting better and better.
And it doesn't humor me.

Both

Both

I listen to the Nelson Riddle Orchestra and try to accept Sinatra. Something about 12 guys playing 9 instruments and all hitting a half note at same split second with perfect harmony after a complex segment. Man that was a good big band. Big Basie fan too.

I like Frank and Nancy Sinatra and other good music, no matter what release year and what others at around my age think - collectable music tends to have a timeless quality in my opinion.

Memories and timing.Music was transitioning from motown
to English centered. I was in college in a off campus black lit room with a dozen others passing joints when I first heard Peppers.Woo from Motown to British psychedelic pop,what a time to grow up!

The music is (mostly) beautiful now ... because it was beautiful then

Accepting that beauty is in the ear of the be-hearer

Eric Idle Rules!

Thinking that was a Dutch twist on Nelson Riddle.

A special sauce is always just a mix of ingredients, and early on got the mix just right hat tip Little Richard). But then they kept changing it and still came up with magic, and that is to me what is impressive. They also got a boost when George came into his own as a song writer.
