Why do people say The Beatles suck?

Those who say they suck are generally just trying to get a rise outta older folks who grew up listening to them. You've said it yourself, no group with 27 #1 hits, that has thousands of current artists saying the Beatles influenced them, sucks....that's just the ramblings of pathetic, ignorant little dweebs who think it's cool to hate everything.\n\nBTW, the Beatles were the only group in history occupy the top 5 spots on the charts....Fab Four had five of the most popular singles with Can't Buy Me Love in the top spot, and Twist and Shout, She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand and Please Please Me rounding out the Top 5 in 1964. \n\nLet's see someone else who "sucks" do that....

they all took drugs!!!! but the beatles took the time to coordinate their outfits and hair and all of that. it is just all about the image that they projected. the beatles went for the jugular of the us teens, and they got it! through the teen population they swept the country like wildfire. the stones had it a bit harder because they were bad asses from the start. but look at them now... still touring and being the stones. half of the beatles are dead, and only mc cartney is doing anything.... wel at least I have not heard of ringo doing much of anything. what it all comes down to is that the beatles wrapped themselves in pretty packaging and later came out of their boxes, whereas the stones were the stones from day one, no appologies

musical genius. \nbrilliant man.\ndeath--tragicaly crazy.\n\n\n\nto the dude who said john lennon "sucks" obviously does not play a musical instrument, and has no respect for art.

no, there will never be another Beatles because we are in a video age.\nThe best rock music was produced prior to the 80s when we didn't always even know what the groups looked like, now we have videos and it is a beauty contest, to hell with the sound.

they are HORRIBLE live.  Everytime I see them on tv it makes me cringe.  The bass player has the WORST technique I've ever seen.  Their playing is just all around sloppy as hell.  I will say that they are fun to watch, but a pain to hear.  So if you don't care about how they sound, then go have fun.  But if you're like me, and you want to hear your favorite band at their best... then just stick to CD's because I think you will be very disappointed.  Of course I'm a little biased because I cannot stand this band, and it was confirmed the few times I have seen them live on TV. Bad bad bad bad and bad.

i love the beatles because they were a good band! there's a lot of hype around them that makes it easy to hate them without really listening. some of my favorite songs are Fixing a Hole, She Said She Said, I Saw Her Standing There, Lovely Rita, Help, Savoy Truffle... too many too list

Their music bores me. It´s always the same, I honestly can´t tell the difference between one song and another. And yes it does, because they can never be as good as the Beatles, they actually experimented with different styles of music, unlike U2. And the beatles actually changed the way people dressed and acted, so many bands have followed in their footsteps, back then, almost everyone was doing what the Beatles did, and the fact that I can name a million bands from the eighties that sound nothing like U2 can tell you a lot.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhHHHHhhhhHHhhhHHH ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! CAN'T STAND IT.... IM SORRY TO DISAGREE WITH YOU , BUT I REALLY THINK THEY ARE THE WORST BAND EVER... I MEAN, DID U KNOW THEY DO PLAYBACK, THEY DON'T WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS, THEY PRETEND TO PLAY INSTRUMENTS, THEY ARE ACTORS PRETENDING TO BE SINGERS (MOST OF THEM)... BASICALLY THEY ARE A "MADE" BAND.. \n\nPD THE ONLY NICE THING IS THAT THE GIRLS ARE HOT JAJA

I agree, there's something about the heavy rock voice that blows everyone else away, and albums like "Machine head" have an operatic majesty that crappy little pop groups can't even touch\n\nBut crap vocals can be great too - just listen to Bob Dylan

Absolutely the beatles have such an amazing library of music.So many artists have done covers of their songs as well.I totally agree with your second statement.

Well the Beatles had good lyrics and good music.

I think that the derivitave nature of music sort of makes it necessary to compare bands if you want to have any kind of meaningful understanding of what they are. I don't like to hear things like "Led Zeppelin is way better than Madonna", because they're not similar enough to compare fairly.\n\nBut think of a band like Oasis, they'll obviously be compared th The Beatles because they're clearly influenced by them. Comparing bands is a great way to introduce your friends to new music.\n\nIf I told you about a band called Cassavettes, and all I said was "They're awesome!" you wouldn't really know what to think. But if I told you that "They sound sort of like Ryan Adams" you might have a better idea as to whether or not you'd be interested.

the beatles were definitelly the best band ever

Yes. They really didn't get into the LSD era until "Revolver" in 1965. Best Beatles album ever! Well, except for "Abbey Road".

No, and I don't plan on listening to it, MCR is one of the crappiest bands around these days, they are right up there with A7X, Panic at the Disco, Fallout Boy, and all that other crap. People think that music is depressed, go listen to "Candlemass" or "My Dying Bride" if you want depressing music and leave that other shit alone.

Today's music sucks so much because: \n1) Record labels are looking for hits, not albums.  \n2) "Talent" must always LOOK marketable.  \n3) Too much of the recording industries' troubles are being blamed on "illegal downloading", rather than taking the responsibility themselves for putting out crappy music.\n4) ALL (yes, ALL) new rock acts today have nothing new to offer.  Everything put out today is a ripoff of 90's alt-rock. (Example - Nickelback, Staind, etc...EVERY song uses that same minor-key harmony that originated with Alice In Chains).\n5) Most people are sheep and will listen to whatever a record company shoves in their face.\n6) Nearly every song has the same pattern...a light opening, then blaring guitars midway through the first verse, then a catchy and annoying chorus.  In other words, it's PREDICTABLE!\n\nOverall, there's a BIG lack of originality in today's music.  The "talent" isn't talented...just good at ripping off whatever has already been done.  I understand having influences, but these bands literally play the SAME thing.  As a huge music fan, I've been largely disappointed since around 1998.
