Any one who says they dont like the Beatles has only 2 reasons to say that. 1. They haven't really explored the depth of their albums, and has really only heard early to mid 60's Beatles. I have Aldo found that these people often like several Beatles songs that they don't know are performed by them, Twist & Shout, You've got to hide your love away, Rock & Roll Music etc...
2. This group of Beatles haters really just dislike anything that is overwhelmingly popular. This group has good reason to feel this way, what with the Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga's that dominate pop music today.
In either case it us a shame, as the Beatles really explored the depths of music in a way that has never been duplicated. What's more is that they did it at a time when music was at the forefront of a cultural revolution. To dominate the industry for a glorious 7 year period, at that time, would be impossible for a "boring" group to accomplish.
Finally pop music of that era should not be viewed as anything close to music that gets a pop label now ( or even back to the early 90's). Artists like Elton John, David Bowie, Chicago, and ELO, "pop" artists, have contributed an incalculable amount to music and society and should not be ignored or thought less of because they have the label of a pop band.
Is it normal to dislike the Beatles?
