All You Need is Love-The Great XMTS Beatles Thread

[Erisianmonkey]

I've skipped over most of this thread, so if some of what I say has been said, please forgive me. I'll also not be paying much attention after I drop my $0.02 in, so PM me if you really want to ask me about something.

I don't much care for the Beatles. (Yeah, yeah, I know, heresy, I'm evil, etc. ad nauseum-I've heard them all-I swear, Beatles fans can be like the Spanish Inquisition when they find out you don't follow their musical religion. ) I won't deny that they have had a great influence on music, but the early stuff grates on my nerves, and it colors my ability to enjoy the latter when sung by the same people.

That being said, I do think that they were wonderful songwriters, and I tend to love most Beatles covers. Our Lady Peace do a cover of Tomorrow Never Knows on the soundtrack from the movie The Craft that is utterly incredible, and Johnny Cash's Version of In My Life from American IV:When the Man Comes Around goes straight for the soul.

But NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!
