I thought he sounded pretty good at the Super Bowl. And I TOTALLY called hed play "Drive my Car" (along with the usual.)

And I definately don't agree with Hey Jude not standing the test of time.I never was really too keen on Yesterday, but I guess it holds up too.

I still love them as songs, but after listening to every Beatles album quite a lot, it's usually Paul's epic pop/ballads that makes me want to hit the skip button. Though I rarely skip any Beatles anyway.

It's amusing these days to see the major labels suffering because of the internet. People are finding new artists and new ways of hearing music beyond their control and they're scared as fuck about it. We're not restricted to radio and television sets anymore and they're losing that tight grip over our eyes and ears that they've held for so long when it comes to media. They're trying to conform and failing; they're trying to label themselves as alternative and indie without actually being alternative and indie. The RIAA and the major labels under it are trying to charge you for intangible things and doing whatever they can before they crash and have to start from the bottom again. The fact is you're in control now and they can do nothing about it so don't waste your time trying to find good music in the "industry" and look for some geniune artists.
Good point, the internet is definately making it easier not only for the people to download music for free, but also to find new music that we would have never found if our only source for music was MTV. Just as Justriingo had mentioned, most of us probably would not know about Ringo if it was not for music on the internet.

The Beatles ruined rock'n'roll.

Elvis is the King.

Nice try, Kprov

The Beatles wanted to give peace a chance, Elvis enlisted in the army. Nuff said about that.

Speaking of The Beatles, I have a friend who looks just like John Lennon (like, seriously...it's kinda creepy), and his dad is one of the biggest Beatles fans I've ever met! Funny coincidence, although dad's more of a Paul guy, from what little I've talked to him about it.

Me, I was never much on The Beatles...my parents didn't really listen to them, and I therefore didn't really listen to them, since I didn't start making my own listening decisions until I was 14 or so. I bought their "1" compilation a couple years ago, but that's it. *prepares to be shot*

The Beatles destroyed rock by convincing millions of people that a bunch of pasty-looking stiffs in matching dark suits and bowl-shaped haircuts singing "she loves you yeah yeah yeah" was somehow sexy.

I will not hear another word against Elvis Aaron Presley.

Actually, they looked very much like Elvis (Clothes wise) until record execs told them to look smart to enter the charts. Anyway, they lost that look quite quickly and actually evolved the music, rather than staying in the past.
