I'll start off by saying I don't get it. I'm 41, listened to them on the radio when they were on the radio. Was a paperboy in high school and frequently heard the radio documentaries about their life and times every weekend but I don't get it.

I'd be perfectly happy to never listen to another Beatles tune and not regret it. I know a lot of people still listen to them, but I find their stuff tired, dated, and not really relevant today.

Now Led Zeppelin on the other hand!

There are a few good Beatles songs but the Eagles even kick their butts for staying power.

"Here Comes The Sun"- Best Song Ever! :-) I Like Led Zeppelin & The Eagles, Too, Though. :-)

I appreciate them but don't like them so much. I'm a much bigger fan of The Who and The Kinks.

Sgt Peppers, best album of all time end to end.:-)

Without the Beatles, I'm not sure we're talking about any other British bands. :-)

I'm with you - I don't get it. My favorite is Led Zeppelin. I like the Stones much more than the Beatles.
[Reply]

OK, the one I don't get is Elvis.

Beatles? What's not to get about them? They were doing things nobody was doing. Don't compare them to today.

Elvis, Beatles, The Doors, Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Rush....all of them....meh

Yeah, a bunch of no names, never heard of 'em. :-):-)

No offense, Andy, but if you're 41, the Beatles songs you were hearing on the radio were 10-15 years old by the time you were hearing them (I'm assuming late 70's by the time you were listening). They should have seemed a little dated. Now, if you were listening as these songs were appearing for the first time, then you'd understand what Rev is talking about.
It was inventive stuff that opened doors and challenged others to keep up.

The later the Beatles recording, the more I like it. I loved John Lennon's solo work. I like the Stones much more as a band, but Beatles have better song writting and composition IMO.
[Reply]

If you listen to their earliest stuff next to their later stuff, the growth these guys showed in their 6-7 year life was unparallelled.
[Reply]

None taken, that's what I'm asking. What am I missing?
[Reply]

You shoulda been there -- were born too late :-)
[Reply]

I'm just saying I won't listen to any of it because I just don't "get" any of them. I would prefer silence over listening to any of those groups. :-)
[Reply]

I can understand. There are plenty of things over which I prefer silence :-)

I am a huge Rush fan, and to even have them included on this list, is a huge honor if you ask me. Yes, I do understand you don't necessarily like them. I have honestly never even thought of them in this league, and they are my all time favorite band.:-)

That's o.k.
We don't care for Justin Beiber and Miley Cyrus.
