there are all of the top of my head:

1. it means music to some maybe, but it doesn't to me. this just aligns with the view that everyone should just accept that they are the best and that they are 'music'. they aren't, they're a band. there are different types of music, even around that time, which does not involved bands.

2. yeah, that would make sense - they prob are the first band like that (that i am aware of)

3. wasn't a lot of that big in the US at the time anyhow?

4. a lot of were techniques already being used, by Terry Riley (who worked with them ) and Le Monte Young

I'm obviously not saying they are bad or anything, but it just seems to be a default answer for a lot of people and if anyone disagrees you just get a sneer by a musical expert who has all the LP's and has played in a pub band a few times.

That first point is the exact reason I don't really give them the time of day, seems like it's accepted as actual fact on something that is completely opinion based. My reaction is always to go the opposite way with the Beatles.

Yep, it's just very tedious and boring, being anti it is just a natural reaction. people should be able to think for themselves

You say that - but a few people in here seem to be annoyed just because of their perceived stature and haven't even listened to them because of this

I get that though, it happens in all things. If people go on about how good something is, and it turn put something you like down, then its only natural for people to rebel

Lovely track, absolutely magical video.

Not sure who’s dissing people who dont think they are the best band, and its odd that it would go in that direction so quickly!

Everyone has their own opinion and can voice it, you must have encountered some rabid Beatles fans!!

Im only basing it on what ive seen and heard, cant play a tune and would never sneer at you for disagreeing x

sorry, i thought I put that I obviously didn't mean you personally!

try living in the UK, by the age of 2 you are told that The Beatles won WWII single-handedly lol

That's from years of people pummelling that 'fact' into people, that's not surprising

I genuinely can't see why they are the best band though? I have listened to most of their albums, i think, at least once and they never really did much for me other than the odd song

I'm not an expert of 60's rock, but Beach Boys, Velvet Underground, Rolling Stones put out a lot of albums in a short space of time in the 1960's so maybe that was the done thing back then?

There is no such thing as a best band ever anyway as music is subjective.

Some people think Westlife are the best band ever for example.

People are stupid...

The Beatles are probably the most iconic band ever, they also have a nice combination of iconic look, well known songs to cover for all types of people, huge popularity to the point where everyone knows all the band members and most of their big songs and massive sales. All this makes it easy for people to just call them the best even though such a thing doesn't exist.

I like The Beatles a lot, always go back to them (well their later stuff, George mainly) but would I like them more if they were not from Liverpool? Possibly.

Very true, but musical tastes aside, I can't see any other band who did what they did. Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, all incredibly talented but none dominated.

Hahaha I get it now, and as an outsider I can tell you its absolutely true!
