Serious Question about The Beatles

[Samuel346]

Like really, why do you like this band?

Why are they so popular?

I'm being serious, but I don't honestly get it.

Is it because they were one of the first?
Is it the hair?

Please give me some rational reasoning.
Mature reasoning.


This isn't hating The Beatles, just trying to understand why they're "epic".

[Cpt. Overkill]

Because I like the way they sound.

Because I like the way they sound.

Pretty much this. There's no other reason to like a band, is there?

[Samuel346]

So it's the generic sound?

[tridentgum0]

I like the sound. Why else would you like a band? ^ How can it be generic? They were around before anyone else used it.

[Cpt. Overkill]

So it's the generic sound?

...No. How are the Beatles generic?

[Alright_Computer]

So it's the generic sound?

Sgt. Peppers and Revolver were anything but generic at the time, and I wouldn't call any of their other stuff generic either.

I like the sound. Why else would you like a band? ^ How can it be generic? They were around before anyone else used it.

There has to be a reason why so many people like them, and I'm trying to get it.

But I don't get it.

You're suggesting because they were the first?
I can point out bands that were the first in their fields and don't have the popularity of The Beatles.

i don't like them that much, but i believe they were the first to do what they did and deserve the credit they get

Couldn't that rationale be used on a lot of bands?

Wasn't Linkin Park's original style with rap kinda the "first to do what they did[and make it big]?"
