Falco is smirking in derision at your pretentiousness

I can't say I've heard exactly all of Beatles' songs but not so far, no. They're not awful 'cause they're big. Such an opinion would just be pretentious wankery. And perhaps I am a pretentious wanker but I'm not that much of a douche.
I can assure you that I know some people who don't like the Beatles. My brother being one example. (Although he's not really a credible source when it comes to music.)
When it comes to Mozart and Beethoven there's just something that annoys me about their music and a lot of classical music in general. I listen to some Modern Classical musicians but when it comes to the old masters, there's just something that makes me frustrated when hearing it.
Note: I'm not denying anyone's talents. That's another thing. I'd be quite an idiot to say that Beethoven was untalented. I'm talking music quality, personal preference.
