Are you saying The Beatles aren't a good band because you don't hear them at parties? I'm still trying to wrap my head around that party statement in your post. Or they're not good because they're never "brought up". I could not tell you the last time I heard Oasis brought up in a conversation or the last time I heard them at a party. I mean, they weren't even the best band of their decade.
All I've learned from this thread so far is if bobbyray doesn't want to listen to a song on repeat, it must mean that isn't a good song.

Supersonic is better.
Not the most technically gifted musicians, but not many bands were more musical than the Beatles. More to it than being a virtuoso player

People don't like the beatles. The band never gets brought up. Nobody puts them on a playlist. You won't hear one their songs at a party. This conclusion is supported by what I believe to be a more than sufficient sample size.

i think that the beatles are decent (slight understatement), but vastly overrated
they changed the game and people hold them in a higher regard because of it
that, of course is my opinion, but my world would be no different if i had never heard their music.

(1) Both, and more. Those were examples I listed to illustrate that the beatles, for lack of a more appropriate word, are musically irrelevant. And not just because they're old. People that I know talk about or mention or play old bands all the time. But just not the beatles. And this has been the case for the entirety of my life.
Thus, the Beatles -- musically speaking -- have not aged well. They are not the Halle Berry of music. More like Christina Aguilera, or any other famous chick who used to be hot and then got ugly early on in the game.

Oasis was mentioned last week on a UT sports blog by somebody other than myself. And i cannot tell a lie.

Okay, you got this part right.

I have no problem with people disliking the Beatles. And I can understand people getting tired of hearing about them.
But the more OP posts, the more I think this is a trolljob. "Bruh, I didn't hear the beatles at this party. They must suck"

Are you kidding me? I'm not a Beatles fan at all, but if you really believe that babble you spouted off above, you are incomprehensibly dumb.

this.
but to say no one listens to the beatles anymore is straight trolling.

The party comment was one of the most ridiculous posts I have seen on this board. As is the thread for that matter.
Posted on 4/18/13 at 11:09 am to GCTiger11
no, bray hates the beatles. i know i was turned off before i had really ever given them a chance because some of my family was just so in love with them.
then, i gave them a chance and wasn't blown away like i was told i should be.

Wonderwall doesn't even make top 5 of Oasis Songs.
1. Live Forever
2. Aquiesce
3. Some Might Say
4. Don't Look Back in Anger
5. Slide Away

I adore this song. I like Wonderwall, though I prefer the Beatles best work. However, on a personal level, my daughter was born the moment when my iPod shuffled to Wonderwall, so if I only had time to listen to one song before I died.... I would choose Wonderwall over every other song in the world, though that decision has nothing to do with "quality". And it wouldn't even be close.

Of all of the rather absurd statements people make to get a rise of people, this one has to take the cake. First, it's completely untrue. I hear the Beatles brought up all of the time and their influence is pretty darn massive. John Lennon was Kurt Cobain's favorite songwriter, the Black Keys covered She Said, Paul McCartney still sells out arenas and closes with Hey Jude while everyone sings along, and so on and so on. Thought that's all anecdotal as well.
But the comparison to hot chicks is doubly absurd, and is a novel troll attempt. Hey, they are just as insubstantial as a poster of a supermodel.
For the record, I DJ'd my friend's wedding about a month ago. I played the Beatles (Penny Lane). I did not play Oasis.

It's been over 40 years since the Beatles have recorded as a band. 40 YEARS!!!
and yet now we are discussing them, I'd say there impact is felt everywhere in almost every bit of western music. Sure songs and sounds and styles change, but you sound like a hick when you constantly bring up these threads knocking them.
It's like you're constantly trying to compare Scott Joplin's 'maple leaf rag' to some modern hit.
just give them the frickin' respect they deserve!!!
nah just kiddin'

Instead of writing sentences that say absolutely nothing, how about you reply with some substance. I expect a little bit better from you. Dispute my allegation that The Beatles' music has not held up well over time vis a vis other bands from the same or similar periods.
Tell me which Beatles songs are timeless in the way that a dozen Led Zeppelin songs are timeless, or in the way that "God Only Knows" is timeless, or ine the way "Baba O'Reilly" is timeless.
I've made statements supporting the above conclusion that rely on years of observed indifference towards Beatles music. You mentioned that you played a Beatle's song when you were the guy picking the songs to be played. Great!
And, please pretty please for the love of all things sacred, try to speak about the beatles without resorting to the default Beatles defense line of "oh, they influenced everybody, so that makes them good."
Your point about Paul McCartney is indeed anecdotal, but also completely useless. Music legends sell out arenas. Billy Joel does it, and I think he sucks too. Bob Dylan does the same and he's like 174 years old.
