    When I was young I never got any of their albums just to be contrarian, cos it seemed such an obvious thing to do, and lots of people said they were the best band ever just because everyone else did. Though I still liked all the songs I knew by them.
    Then when I got a little older and a little less immature I started to buy their albums here and there, and came to the conclusion that they are indeed fantastic. I'm no expert on music, but I can instinctively tell that their best stuff is in another class. I think.

    But I know a lot of people still say they're the best band ever just because most people do. It's very rare to hear someone say they don't like them.

    So, does anyone hear not like them, and if not, do you have a reason?

    Don't like their early stuff but they got good towards the end. The Doors, the Stones and CCR were much better bands though.

    Their music was crap before they started using vast quantities of illegal substances. Paul McCartney and Ringo were crap no matter what they took, or didn't take, and still are crap.

    Agree about their early stuff, kinda generic sixties pop, but still pretty great for what it was, especially on Help! and A Hard Day's Night.

    Don't like them myself. Find it annoying when people go on about the amount of record sales they've had... they've been avail to buy for 50 years...

    Earlier stuff like she loves you and I wanna hold your hand is all a bit sappy but they got it together soon enough - the likes of Helter Skelter and the White Album are pure class.

    ...my wife! She hates them yeah yeah yeah...

    I just asked her what her reasons are and this is what she said:

    - Why do you want to know!
    - I don't like the sound of John or Pauls voices
    - I don't like all their mainstream, commercially released stuff (chart stuff). Some of their more obscure stuff is OK though, at a push
    - It's just not a type of music I like ti listen to.

    Clearly, my wife has some sort of insanity inside her!

    :D

    They released 13 albums, and their best stuff was most definitely at the end. Abbey road (their last recorded album) was their best imo.

    You won't be able to name another band who has done that. Everyone else runs out of ideas after far less than 13 albums.
