[QUOTE="WolfattheDoor34"]The Beatles are great, AC/DC is garbage maybe if you hadn't been a complete idiot when you were younger wouldn't have just gone along with what you were told was good and you would've developed your own taste sooner and then you wouldn't have this stupid resentment and you wouldn't have made this dumb thread

I can't tell if the second part of your post is sarcasm or not.

Um, okay. Nice blog.

And you might not like the Beatles, but that doesn't mean they are a bad band.

The post is meant to have ideas and views on this particular issue exchanged....you know like a in a forum. And what I think of The Beatles isn't the point of this thread.

yea, it's called nostalgia. Rich3232
Not necessarily. Many fans of classic rock weren't even alive when it was being released.

The Beatles suck. Depending on your music tastes, I may have caused you to have a negative reaction and you may have had the urge to tell me that "I have no taste in music". However, If I said a more modern band with roughly the same popularity like Radiohead sucks, I typically wouldn't provoke as strong of a reaction from people. Now, I think the reasoning behind this is that we're all conditioned to believe that the classic rock bands from the 60's-70's are the best and can't be beat. That's why everyone is so quick to defend classic rock bands from that era. I'm saying this out of personal experience. I grew up being told by everyone that "The Beatles are the best band of all time". Being a kid, I believed everyone else and listened to The Beatles and I thought that I liked them and "they were the best band ever". However, I always found myself not wanting to listen to The Beatles in favor of listening to other bands that I found far more interesting. Another band I had a similar experience with is AC/DC. People always told me they were an amazing band, so I believed them. But whenever one of their songs was being played on the radio, I always had the urge in the back of my mind to change the station. As I got older and discovered music that I never even knew existed, I realized that I never really liked many classic-rock bands to begin with. I was just told by society what was good and went along with it. It's pretty much developed from just individual bands that are "the best" to the music of the 60's to 70's era as a whole. Look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz1ex78QeQI It's a pretty bad song, yet it has a lot of thumbs up and positive comments which kind of proves my point. Edit: I don't actually think The Beatles suck. I have to put this because not everyone reads the entire post before responding.

Gamespot- The only forum site where someone can post a two year old video and still get a multi-page thread out of it.

Yes. I mean, it was probably somewhat original at the time the concept was created but, by today's standards, there are far more interesting heroes. The fact that he's invincible and has one weakness will inevitably, for the creators, turn into a game of "contrived ways superman can get around kryptonite".

I do, but I don't like minimalist ambient stuff like Ambient 1 by Brian Eno. It just comes off as boring and pretentious, to me.

I thought the name of the album was lazy as fvck. Just "m b v". It's like when a franchise has been dormant for a while and they want to make a new installment but they don't want to scare off people who could be new to the series and may not bother with it thinking "I've missed too much so I won't understand it", so they just name it after the first one. Like Twisted Metal, Prince of Persia, Rambo, DMC: Devil May Cry.

Oh and the album art is fvcking awful.FalcoLX
What? I love the album art. Especially with the hidden images, the squares, the heavy blue tint ( just like loveless had a pink tint), and all the squares and distortion. edit: I said squares twice.
