Default The Beatles: What am I missing?

I'll start off by saying I don't get it. I'm 41, listened to them on the radio when they were on the radio. Was a paperboy in high school and frequently heard the radio documentaries about their life and times every weekend but I don't get it.

I'd be perfectly happy to never listen to another Beatles tune and not regret it. I know a lot of people still listen to them, but I find their stuff tired, dated, and not really relevant today.

Now Led Zeppelin on the other hand!

There are a few good Beatles songs but the Eagles even kick their butts for staying power.

I appreciate them but don't like them so much. I'm a much bigger fan of The Who and The Kinks.

I'm with you - I don't get it. My favorite is Led Zeppelin. I like the Stones much more than the Beatles.

Without the Beatles, I'm not sure we're talking about any other British bands.

OK, the one I don't get is Elvis.

Beatles? What's not to get about them? They were doing things nobody was doing. Don't compare them to today.

EXACTLY. Listen to the other music being performed at that period in time. They were game changers.

Moreover, music today may very well have been HUGELY different if it weren't for the beatles.

I'm just saying I won't listen to any of it because I just don't "get" any of them. I would prefer silence over listening to any of those groups.
