How could anyone walk up and shoot John Lennon, when they had a perfectly good shot at Yoko Ono?

That's the question that plagued humanity for 3 decades. I think "In My Life" might be my favorite, but it's a hard choice.

Same day that Dimebag Darrell was killed as well. Sad day, indeed.

I hate the Beatles, there is not one song I like, they're ridiculously overrated.

I don't expect an answer because anybody who'd argue with me has probably just suffered an infarction.

Theokhoth

Yeah...I suffer 'infarctions' all the time. And no, Beatles aren't. You, my sir, are just a non-believer.

Not really much of Beatles/Lennon fan. They were okay but over hyped. I used to like Imagine but I'm sick of it now....

I'm not a huge Beatles fan but I still like what they did. That sure would have been a crazy day to have been alive.

I'm a huge Beatles fan, so needless to say I think that it's pretty sad that he's gone. He wasn't my favorite Beatle, but he wrote a lot of my favorite Beatles songs and had a good solo career. He was very talented. It's unfortunate that he was murdered and at such a young age...and just when his career was on the upswing. :(

I can't think of a Beatles song I actually enjoy listening to. Twist and Shout comes close, but its a lot slower when you don't have Ferris Bueller and a marching band playing along.

My favourite Beatles song is 'Something' - it's a George Harrison song.

I find John Lennon a little meh - 'Jealous Guy' is a good song though.

I missed where I should be a fan of somebody just because they *possibly* influenced somebody I like. That's like saying I should love a friend's parents just because they're his parents.

That's kinda true. You should love your friends parents. :P

Also, why do you say you're married when you're really not? I mean, I'm glad you're not...Cause that gives me a chance...But still...

Well, if they're jerks, then screw em'! And I don't really think you have to be a Beatles fan because they influenced bands you may like...But at least be respectable of the accomplishments they've made and everything.

And yeah...I quit GW for a bit...So I must've missed the excitement of the e-marriage threads.

Im not a Beatles fan but you are right, there are some songs that I like and relate to..mostly their older ones. I dont recall the titles off hand but I know them when I hear 'em. I really can't stand many of the popular ones...no offense.

I disagree.....bigtime

I think there's no question the majority on this board are waaaay too young to appreciate their greatness.

A shame, because they probably had an influence on most any rock band they like.

John Lennon was a god, a shame many of you are too young to ever know that.

Rubber Soul and Revolver are among the greatest albums of all time, undeniable.

Listen and learn.

Basically, he's saying your bands probably wouldn't be where they are or play like they do if not for the Beatles influence....and he's right.

I was in High School when Lennon was shot. Even back then I did not like his style/brand of music.

Theres a lot of hate in this thread, I have a theory Die hard Evangelical christians, who still hate the beatles after john lennons " we are bigger than god " fiasco. People who like to hate popular things cus its riggghtt cool. And people who have no appreciation for a combination of Innovation, lyrical genius , Massive talent , countless hits and inspiration on a level higher than anything muscial of the past 100 years.

I grew up with the Beatles being rammed down my throat all the time and so I have never been too keen on any of their music or any of their later solo projects. I have slowly come to appreciate some of their songs fairly recentlybut I can only take them in very small doses.

Of course, but when the thread asks for your favorite Lennon song, and people enter the thread and say, " They're overrated", or "I hate them" in a non constructive manner, then obviously their is some hate for the artist, it's not like the OP asked, "What do you guys think of this guy?". I never understood why one would hate someone whom they have never met, I mean, I think a lot of music is garbage, but I don't hate the artists that create it.

"Nowhere Man" is possibly my favourite beatles song. There are a handful of others I quite like and that's about it. It's sad John Lennon was killed, but I'm not really a fan.
