Hate the Beatles?

[Larry Gude]

In a recent casual conversation, someone said they hate the Beatles.

Hate them.


Yet, they love Elvis. Now, I'm not the worlds biggest Beatles fan, but, they are one of the absolute legends of pop music and have written some of the best songs, ever. EVER.

I am not much of an Elvis fan however, like the Beatles, there's a bunch of songs you just can't deny or dismiss.

So, to me, this is yet another sign of the apocalypse; you can't HATE the Beatles. And you REALLY can't hate them if you love Elvis. Metaphysically impossible.

So, to keep this functional, I don't care about levels or degrees of 'like' or 'dislike', I'm looking for opinions on 'love' and 'hate' as regards these two icons of our world.

I wouldn't say I hate Elvis but between him and the Beatles, to me, it is no contest.

Beatles in a landslide over Elvis.

It's been a hard days night and I've been working like a dog!

They both changed the landscape of music and our pop culture. Musically it's a great thing. Culturally I think it's been a bad thing in many ways. Either way I like their music in the smallest sort of way; sort of like how I like Michael Jackson's music or Madonna. I can only tolerate it for a short period of time.

Like Elvis, dislike The Beatles to the point I will change the station or turn it down.

You could have at least put an earlier video of him before he was all bloated and drugged up.
