I don't dislike The Beatles but I barely ever listen to them of my own accord. Loads of more interesting rock out there, and I've just grown tired of the sound of them.

They are becoming underrated because the new thing is to hate on them. A lot of people are now saying they are overrated and a lot of their songs weren't that good but got a lot of play because it was from them. The hate is making them underrated because the haters are wrong. There is very few bad Beatles songs.

My favourite rock band's favourite rock acts are David Bowie and The Doors.

that's fine, most of the artists you mentioned are vocal groups, so it sorta looks like you've got particular tastes. vocally, the beatles can't touch the beach boys, But very few people would say they're better overall than the beatles.

Exactly 8/10 of my friends prob. hate them cause they're too hip for it now, Muse for life etc. Also people my age ( under 25 )seem to find it embarrassing to mention that they like The Beatles for the impending hate they'll receive.

If I am being honest yes some of their music sounds outdated now but they are completely outnumbered by numerous quality tracks that still sound fresh today.

Really? This is surprising to me, because in my experience most music dabblers and dilettantes champion the shit out of The Beatles. "Music is trash now!" and all that spiel. I find that most people who don't like The Beatles, or don't like the deification of The Beatles, tend to be music nerds who are into shit like Beefheart and Zappa.

Yeah, fuk all that. I myself listen to a lot of music. I like rap, I like punk rock, and even some country but my roots are from the 60s and 70s and I'd never be ashamed of it, it's my favorite music. I grew up on music that's 50 years old and wouldn't have it any other way. Rock music now a days is weak anyways. Floyd, Beatles, The Clash, Hendrix, Clapton, Morrissey, Sex Pistols list goes on for me. Nothing to be ashamed to admit you like good music.
