. Personally, I don't really mind if I never hear the Beatles again. I appreciate everything they did, but enough is enough. There are far more interesting bands to listen to these days. Move on....
 

Personally I wish I had never heard them at all ever, and yeah, far more interesting stuff has been available since then (and even at the time). Why anyone would want to listen to that crap now is beyond me, it's hideous

We're talking about The Beatles, not The Doors.

Probably a Beiber fan.

I wish I could find a band that had that same magic for me.

No need to be childish about it.
 
I like and admire The Beatles, I've just tired of hearing them, same goes for Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin and many other 'classic' artists. I like finding new music these days.

The 'Wings' thing was a joke, lifted from Alan Partridge. Personally, I don't really mind if I never hear the Beatles again. I appreciate everything they did, but enough is enough. There are far more interesting bands to listen to these days. Move on....
 

the beatles are on of the most overrated bands of all time imo.

Were you around when they came out?  TOTALLY different era.  I believe if they came out now, the same accolades would not apply.

I hope I'm around in 40 years when some (born 5 years from now) dude says <insert ljb500's biggest 21st century musical influence/life changer here> really wasn't that great.
 
Oh the humanity of it all.

The Beatles are the DNA of the popular music you hear now. They influenced so many other bands and artists that it would be impossible to name them all. Lennon & McCartney songs have been covered by just about every major artist in the last 50 years.
 
For a band with such a short life span they achieved a staggering amount. You can't 'over-rate' that.
 
I just don't want to listen to them, now..
 
 

L & M also wrote a whole bunch of stuff for other bands back in the 60's, didn't they?

Kind of moot though? It did happen. They really were at the center (if not damn near the beginning) of changing the notion of popular music and how it was created and presented. They were a force and so many artists who came of age in the 70s, 80s and 90s have declared them their biggest influence. That does not happen because they "weren't that great". But as you somewhat tried to point out, they were great for their time.
 
Also, "if they came out today" will forever be viewed through the lens of time. For all we know if they arrived today they would be even further on the bleeding edge because they would be 17-20 year olds and would have the undefined history of music to draw upon.
