    OK, you don't like them, but talentless? You not liking does not equal no talent...not even in the whacky wonderland of AH!

    What one person considers talent is not necessarily what another person considers talent.

    The Beatles appeal was largely their boyish charm(they were the first Boy Band really) and the Beatlemania that swept the world cheered on by a bunch of horny teenage girls...musically they had nothing new to offer and later crawled up their own arses when they tried to ride the hippy bandwagon by reinventing themselves.

    I loved them when i was a young teenager but now find a lot of their stuff cringeworthy. I really never want to hear Smells like teen spirit again.

    Sounds like your cringing at the memory of yourself as a teenageer, not the songs.

    there were a few decent songs during that time, but granted, not many.

    So why stop at 89? Were u a Britpopper?

    It got to the point that you couldn't switch on a radio without hearing this song. That overplaying lasted for months.

    I struggle to think of a song that was more overplayed. Other than "everything I do......." by Bryan Adams and "I will always love you" as performed by Whitney.

    Talent isn't really measured by subjective opinion, but there's another forum for this. They were very innovative and have albums worth of material that remain extremely popular and influential to this day. Not that I am their biggest fan, but to label the Beatles talentless based on your own personal tastes is pretty weird.

    I can´t stand Ballet or Opera, cringe when the missus tries to drag me along, but do I think the singers and dancers are talentless? No, of course not.

    Almost every band have been subjected to that label at some point.

    Calling the Beatles talentless is moronic, wether you like them are not. They were talented in song writing, musicial ability and on stage performance. You cannot say they were not talented at at least one of those things.

    Ha, people on this thread are having a real hard time seeing talent beyond songs/bands they don't like.

    In addition to what has already been said, their work in the studio - and much credit goes to George Martin - was f*cking astounding given the technology of the time.
    And while they may have been drawing on the work and electronic advancements made by art music composers of the time (Stockhausen et al), to package those elements within well-crafted popular song structures - even to have the initial idea to do it - was what made the music so wonderful. Sort of like Radiohead drawing on Charles Mingus and Olivier Messiaen and so on and combining the influence with more modern rock tropes.. But I suppose they're talentless too?

    Honestly, if you can give more than a cursory listen to Revolver or Abbey Road or Sgt. Peppers and respond so negatively... I don't know what.

    Agreed. I always preferred Prince singing it, because I felt it was more moving coming from a man; I figured it was because I'm a man. But then Sinead herself said the same thing :P

    Husker Du, Butthole Surfers, Bongwater, Big Black, Sonic Youth, Minor Threat, Fugazi, The Jesus Lizard, Bad Brains, Mudhoney, etc… The American Underground scene was absolutely amazing before Grunge and Major Labels sucked all the semen out of it's balls. Factor in the beginning of Acid House and Techno in Detroit along with the rise of hip hop and you actually have one of the most fascinating decades for music stateside but one that is completely underrated.

    Over in the UK you've the likes of New Order, Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Blue Nile, Talk Talk keeping the flame lit along with the likes of 808 State cranking it up for the 90s.

    I'm not going to even bother arguing with anyone that hates the Beatles. Their loss…

    Much as I love the Beatles, can you really say this? From what I believe most of their live shows were simply drowned out by screaming girls, so nobody knew if they sounded decent or not.

    I'm being very picky here of course (and going OT), they were great writers and musicians and for all I know may have been great live too! I saw McCartney a few years ago in Dublin and thought he was brilliant.

    I never ever want to hear that song again as long as I live.
