She's just finished watching the results of Strictly Come Dancing and some bird called Michelle went out. They used The Beatles' 'Michelle' to play her out, to which the wife said 'Amazing they found a song with the name 'Michelle' in it', to which I asked 'Er, don't you know this song?', to which she said 'No'.

WTF? 🙄

I didn't know that either. Can't say I really care that much. Seems like a waste of neurons.

LOL. I hate the Beatles too and I've never heard of that song. Nor have I ever watched Strictly Come whatever.

The Beatles are stupidly over-rated.

Not liking them is one thing, thinking they were rubbish is something different and wrong

You can add me to the list of Beatles haters.

Can't stand any of their stuff.

Don't like Liverpool either.

If they were so good why did they need Oasis to re-write all their songs?

Maybe I just lack perspective but I'd have thought tbat whether you liked The Ruttles.. I mean The Beatles or not, you'd still be familiar with the song.

To be fair to the wife, she's a pretty good pilot, which is about as cool a profession you can claim publically so I can forgive her being musically inept.

Can the Beatles haters enlighten us as to who they'd suggest is better?

Bear in mind, it'd have to be y'know an equally statuesque outfit. A group who've had an equally if not larger impact on 20th century culture.

Ah, the old "the bigger the impact the better it makes something" argument. Now how long till Godwin's Law gets fulfilled..

Can't think of a single Beatles song that doesn't makes me want to destroy the radio spit on a scouser and go and find another couple of bullets.

Like almost all bands of the 60's they were ripping off riffs and heavily influenced by the less popular and considerably less commercially exposed black musicians of the time.

Tell me it ain't so? Same as Elvis the "white man who could sing the blues".

But.. but... the reason they had impact was because lot's of people wanted to do stuff like them. Surely if they were derivative, then we'd be saying that 'whoever the originals were' had the greatest impact.

Ok, we should soon start hearing more from the anti-beatles crowd now. X-Factor has just finished.
