Guys – I can put up with all the insults. At my age I’ve heard them all. 🙄
OK, I never really liked The Beatles, the Stones were so much more … ahem … exciting and b*a*d. 😉
But they were unique and, importantly, evolved. Made a huge contribution to ‘modern music’ and whilst I was a little young, I do remember the fever with which they were received.
But in the wings was Hendrix and, to me, he was just AWESOME! So cool, was doing stuff nobody had ever seen or heard of before.
Of course, if The Beatles were such rubbish, why are they still being talked about?
Some people have made some very good observations on this thread, funnily enough most of you just don’t ‘get it’.
