Elvis sucked- his music is cookie-cutter and largely horrible like the Beatles, but I enjoy a lot of "Rock and Roll", which was first INFLUENCED by him A LONG TIME AGO. Again, just because I hate one doesn't mean I can't like the other.

And influence is just that- taking something and using it towards your own means. I'm sure lots of GOOD artists were influenced by the Beatles, but that doesn't mean they didn't put out shitty music.

And don't attack me for my opinions! I respect everyone else's, no matter how 'rediculous' they might sound to me, and only go after the issue itself.
Okay 1. I never "attacked" you. and 2. You missed my point

Some of the bands that are considered to be some of best ever were DIRECTLY influenced by the Beatles. Black Sabbath for example...Ozzy Osbourne openly admitted that he wanted to become a rock star after he discovered the Beatles. He absolutely loved them. So my point is if it was really and truely shitty music back then (at that time if it wasn't good it wasn't anything) none of these people would have ever been influenced by it. Cause lets face it ya don't hear a band you consider to be shitty and get inspired. Unless it inspires you to write about how much it sux but you wouldn't know it sucked if there wasn't music out there that you and others consider to be music that "doesn't suck" gettin me? Point being it's all opinions it will never be fact so basically you made this post to see if other people hate the beatles as much as you do. But a maturer voice would say "Hey they aren't really my cup a tea but I can't say they didn't move people...I can't say they didn't revolutionize music to some extent." You can't contradict yourself by saying they made shitty music (You could say some of their music was shitty but saying "their music" applies to all of it) and then saying you rather enjoyed "Hey Jude" because obviously if you really thought they made shitty music you wouldn't like that song at all. So many of their songs were just like "Hey Jude" so if you like that one you like most of it. Theres no validity in any of this I asked you your taste in music because maybe I consider your taste in music to be shitty, or a Beatle rip-off. Then that would make me you wouldn't it? I mean you throw the word issue out there is no issue here it's all opinion. Opinions are not issues; they never have been and never will be....You can have an "opinion" on an "issue" though. Now ya need to decide what the issue is. I mean you can't know where you are until someone else who was there before you tells you where you are. I mean it doesn't matter how long ago it was and it doesn't mean that you can't like one and hate the other but you can try to see why other people may like them and acknowledge the fact that whether you like it or not a lot of people do. Of course it really is a double standard so I feel where you're going with this I feel the same way about Pop Music like Nsync and all these horrible rap artists that are out so I guess I'd have to say some of them are true fans and some of them are fans just because someone told them it was the cool thing to do. It's the latter that could never be understood. Unless you just understand that they don't really know what they like they just follow the trend so in a way they don't really "like it" at all.

Asta!!
