Don’t get me wrong, I appreciated what they’ve done for music and all, and I think their song writing is unmatched; I just don’t really like the execution. I think a lot of the newer recordings of their music, for whatever reason, are significantly better than the originals. The soundtrack for Across the Universe, for example, is very well done (and all Beatles songs), great recordings, good vocals and varying tempos.

Anyway, I saw this version of Let it Be that Kris Allen did on American Idol not too long ago and I’ve been way into it ever since. I just think it’s very well done.

I’ve heard virtually all their music before I’ve come to the conclusion that I really just don’t like them. It’s certainly not to say that I don’t appreciate what some of them have done for music (The Beatles), they’re just not my thing.

  • Pink Floyd
  • Radiohead
  • Arcade Fire
  • U2
  • Coldplay
  • The Beatles
  • Telefon Tel Aviv
  • The White Stripes

I can understand people who grew up in the 60s/70s with The Beatles and Pink Floyd being fans of that music. But honestly, I can’t see how anyone can like crappy ambien music like Telfon Tel Aviv; it’s not even relaxing.
