Why the hyper-nostalgia?

No they recieve that acclaim and respect because they wrote pretty much objectively good music for their entire career. I hate it when people try to get all academic about the beatles with the whole "No but you see it is WHEN they played their music that was so special!! The sixties and stuff!!". Are you even listening to the songs? They're good because they're GOOD. Those albums would still be extremely popular if released today or any other decade post-1960.

Derail err day.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Don't get me wrong, a lot of The Beatles music was amazing... but a lot of it was also thoughtless pop bullshit. I do not think they would be any where near as popular today. I do like The Beatles (although I'm honestly more of a Stones guy), but you can't say that their musical talent alone was their key to their success.

Anyways, yea, done derailing this thread.
