I won't deny their significance but I'm not going to debase myself and say that my opinion is wrong so their fans can level up their internet cocks. You want me to respect them? Then respect my opinion as it is and stop trying to force me to like them just because millions of other people like them.

This isn't aimed at any people on this forum because for the most part you guys are OK, this is just me venting my ideas because I believe that they have merit and add a contrast to the popular opinion on this forum.

Everyone ends up liking the Beatles :p:

I dont like The Beatles, I cant stand them. =]

I hate also:
Tokio Hotel - Those emo gays think they are metal? What the hell???
Jonas Brothers - 12 year old children love them! Why? They are nothing but just a piece of junk! "Rock and roll"?? No.*puke*
Avril Lavinge - She dares to call her music punk? Dares to call it rock?? Noope, I dont think so. (And I hate pink...) xD

^ Please tell me you don't dislike the Beatles because they don't "rawk" hard enough......

:p:

For me, I think that band that really gets on my nerves is this New Jersey based deathcore band, "Waking the Cadaver".

Their newest album, "Beyond Cops, Beyond God" was absolute ****. It was full of generic breakdowns, snare drums that sounded like bags half full of rice being kicked down a fire escape, and an assault of unintelligable grunts from the vocalist.

I hate the band. I hate their genre. I hate their music. And they should change their band name to "Stray Unicorn Molestor".

br00tal as fu‎ck. now forming a band called "Stray Unicorn Molestor"

Did you really just list The Beatles alongside Tokio Hotel, the JoBros, and Avril Lavigne?

As I said, I'm betting she/he doesn't like the Beatles because their guitars aren't distorted enough and they don't sing about walls closing in and all being lost.

The Beatles were the right band at the right time simple as that. I grew up with The Beatles (as did many over the age of 25) and they form such an intrinsic part of modern music especially in the U.K but I rarely listen to them anymore and they are certainly not the be all and end of all of what the 60's were about and many many bands in that era made far more experimental music than they did.

However whether you like them or not, they did further modern music more than any other band at that time. Whether that was sheer talent, luck or a combination of both is beyond doubt.

For a band that could arguably be compared to a modern day boy band and make relatively bland and safe music to becoming a band that grew with each album both musically and technically is no mean feat.

I don't like Rolling Stones all that much but I wouldn't take a swipe at their late 60's/early 70's output just because I am not a big fan. They still pushed boundaries and made an effort to extend themselves whatever the results may be and that should always be applauded in my eyes.

The Beatles don't suck.

It is definitley not "horrible music" by any means. If that's what you mean by "suck".

They are simply over played and over worshipped, much like Elvis and Sinatra.

If you're talking about "horrible music", I would go with The White Stripes. I just don't get it.
