Re: The Beatles 2.0?
No one I've ever talked to has said the Beatles were a top notch band. They were quite the simple band honestly, but they knew how to create catchy melodies. That is why they were so huge. Talent was never huge in the group, but it was enough. I'll give the group props though, they changed for the better over the course of their career and got better a musicians as well.Comment

As Tim said, beginning with Rubber Soul the Beatles became quite revolutionary. Also I'm flabbergasted at the "talent" assertion. John Lennon was a master at what he did. He and McCartney wrote some great songs that are still fresh today as it was the day they came out.
I know it's "cool" in some circles to not give the Beatles their due but sometimes it comes across as bitterness.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: The Beatles 2.0?
Well the Monkees was a band put together in the 60's to try and be an American version of the Beatles. Most of us know the story it started as a tv show and they weren't allowed to play their own music for a while, but eventually was outselling the Beatles. After a successful retun to syndication in the 80's on MTV CBS tried to recreate that magic with The New Monkees and failed terribly. That's the closest thing I can think of happening like this before.“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Re: The Beatles 2.0?
I don't care for the Beatles musically. Their impact is obviously other-worldly, but as far as music goes....bleh, don't care one bit.
Give me The Who, Zeppelin, Stones, Floyd, etc all day every day.Comment
