I understand the Beatles really are hyped as the holy grail of music, but isn't it possible to just ignore that and form a legitimate personal opinion on the band? I'll admit that it took me a long time myself to give them a chance just because of the ridiculous fanaticism that followed their music, but trying to come at it from a neutral standpoint helped me really get into their music. It is completely possible to not enjoy their music as well. I think that opinion is what separates the people with an appreciation for the Beatles and the fanboys.

Regardless, once again people are completely willing to argue about the Beatles for the millionth time...I think that in itself says something.
