I ❤️ THE BEATLES

I just going to cut to the chase, I can’t stand the Beatles hate. I understand everyone has their opinions and is entitled to like what they like, but in our year 2025 people still like to debate the validity of the fours musical and cultural importance by saying “they’re overrated”. Excuse me!? I dare you to name an artist or group of the last 50 years and tell me that person was not somewhat influenced by the Beatles in some capacity… quickly! They are your favorite artists’s favorite artists. From Michael Jackson to Nirvana, even Beyoncé included a cover of ‘Blackbird’ on her latest Cowboy Carter release. Every artist, every genre, every decade, it all leads back to the Beatles.  It’s one thing if you don’t like the Beatles, maybe they aren’t your thing sure I’ll give you that. But to say they’re “basic” or don’t deserve hype is just plain wrong. At the very least I feel as though everyone should respect the Beatles and their contributions to music and pop culture, because without them, the larger cultural zeitgeist in which we know it to be today would not exist -this isn’t even an exaggeration. For one, Beatlemania was one of the first cultural examples of “stan culture” no doubt and shaped the way audiences today engage in fandoms. The band are also regarded for their innovative song writing structure and studio recording techniques. Imploring string quartets, tape loops, and experimenting with guitar distortions added new sounds to pop music and challenged the clean, tight, bubble gum sounds found in pop radio at the time— sounds they helped to popularize. In an age where every part of a song can be made and manipulated using a computer program, the boys were in the studio COOKING using objects, instruments, and just about anything else they can get their hands on to create marvel sonic arrangements never heard before. Constantly pushing barriers and evolving in style and sound, the Fab Four gave the world new music to behold with every release. Pop, rock, metal, psychedelic, folk, alternative, and more can all be found inside the works of the Beatles. Few acts have stood the test of time, and even fewer boast an abundantly rich catalogue of prolific source material that’s been studied so intensely and adored by generations upon generations of music fans. Their work is still continually shaping the soundscape of modern music and leaving an undeniable mark on the cultural fabric music and the world.  I can go on and on and on but I will just say this, the Beatles are very important to pop music and culture as a whole. And if you stuck around to read all this I can only assume that you agree with me. And if you’re still unsure about the Beatles, I compiled a playlist on Apple Music of 20 of my personal favorite songs. Give it a listen and please share your thoughts on the four lads from Liverpool (good or bad) I would love to hear what others think. But thank you for letting me get this off my chest. Peace and love ✌🏽 https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/fab-four/pl.u-b3b88LeuPEPx9X

The Beatles

I’m really sorry but im recommending the band the beatles…… i know that’s heinous but it’s just what i have been up to…… i rewatched the Peter Jackson doc “Get Back” last December and I have only listened to the Beatles for the last year. Not kidding. I have not played a single other artist. It feels like committing a hate crime un petit peu.. But i love those damn boys……
