re: It's 1964. The Beatles are coming to America for the first time

What I like is when older guys like you, legitimately get angry because a younger generation doesn't "get" the Beatles.

Most of the "younger generation" actually admire and like the Beatles. I know kids in their teens and twenties who have them loaded on their i-pod.

I'm sure my grandkids won't love Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots or the Foo Fighters ... And you know, that's ok.

I like all of those bands you just named.

When it comes to The Beatles it's not so much of generational issue for most listeners. It's a matter of opening your ears and having good taste.

BTW, I like all kinds of bands - Beatles, Stones, Allman Bros, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Black Crowes, The Clash, Band of Horses, Arcade Fire, The Kills (not the Killers, btw ), Black Keys, Mumford & Sons, Pink Floyd, early Zeppelin, and on and on. It's not a matter of how good the writing is, how relevant the music is, and, mostly, how good it sounds. The Beatles hit a home run. I hope people continue to listen to good music regardless of when it came out.
