I can acknowledge that they were important to music history and influenced much of what came after them. What I don't get is people being offended when I say I don't like them. Music is very subjective. I like what I like. I don't dislike the Beatles because they're popular - I dislike them because when I'm listening to them I'm bored or annoyed. (Plus, I think John Lennon was a dick.) It's just a natural reaction. I also don't like many forms of chocolate, which seems to blow some people's minds.
Another band I can't stand is The Doors. In general, I have a theory that any band, no matter how crappy, can come up with one good song. So far, The Doors are an exception. I hate everything that I have ever heard from them.
