I lurrrrrvvvvv Merseyside! Was there back in '01; got to meet Pete Best and Colin Hanton during a fantastic night at Flannigan's on Mathew Street, and literally missed meeting Astrid Kirchherr and Klaus Voorman at the Mathew Street Gallery by thirty seconds. (The next day I was taking a photo of the entrance to the gallery. An older woman came out of the doorway, and I waited for her to get out of the shot. When I went into the gallery afterwards, the lady working there, who I'd met the night before, asked if I met Astrid. I said I hadn't. She was surprised, because Astrid had just left; she was surprised I hadn't bumped into her on the stairway. I thought back to the lady who was almost in my photo...*)

Have to say I found the folks in the north to be a bit more to my liking than the southerners, but to be honest I didn't get a chance to talk to as many Londoners as I would have liked to.



*You young whippersnappers and non-Beates fans...Google Astrid. Fascinating story.

Actually I am all Beatle'd out. For the time yeah okay. Now (in my opinion) it's just tired old pop music. Anyway, if you love them, good on ya and I respect that. Believe me I'm not saying that you shouldn't. I'm just tired of it.

Yep, they were a great band. But not my cup of tea either.

For me it was all about The Who as far a British bands go. The first "Punks"? The energy, attitude, agression, it's all there.

I'll agree with the title :o

Only kidding, but I never have really found their music that interesting. Doesn't do much for me.

I grew up with them when they were, "prime time" so to speak (I'm 53). Sure, I enjoy the vast majority of their stuff prior to Sgt. Pepper, meaning, before they got into the whole psychedelic thing. I certainly don't worship them like so many millions of even my generation alone do. My feelings: There stuff is catchy and thoughtful for the most part; to a large extent, they were in the right place (musically) at the right time (historically) yet, I like/liked many of their contemporaries better. I can honestly say that they had no influence on me deciding to learn guitar or on my eventual playing. Believe it or not, my favorite band from that British Pop Rock vein back then was the Dave Clark Five.

At 56, I also grew up in the Beatles era but was more a Stones fan. I was in a band by 1967, but I don't think we had a single Beatles song in the set list -- Stones aplenty though. Great frat beer blast music.

I've come to appreciate though that the Beatles popularized a revolution in music and musical thought. There was already evidence (Buddy Holly's "next" album, had he lived, would have so they say predated the Beatles by quite a few years) that music was moving in new directions. But the Beatles started off not so radical that parents of the time wouldn't ban them, and yet playing music that was formerly frowned on in middle America's living rooms.

My parents thought they should get haircuts and they played way too loud. But they had nice songs and they were singers, not like those other rabble-rousing bands like the Stones. It was progress that all sides could agree enough on for it to happen.

I've often wondered how many from my generation who played back then were Beatles fans vs. Stones fans. Which band more inspired people to pick up a guitar? And to continue it, of those of us who still play at least some today, how does it break down?

Speaking for people I know well and who still play at least casually, I'd have 11 Stones fans and 1 Beatles fan. And he's more a singer than a guitarist, so it makes sense that he'd like the group with -- in my opinion -- a much better catalog for good vocalists.

I was in a band, during that time, and we played BOTH Beatles and Stones, as well as other hits that were out at the time.

I think they are over played and over hyped.

Sick hearing about how great they are- they may have been good at the time but alot of their music has not aged well.

How come no one mentions the kinks or the who?
The Kinks are one of the most influential guitar bands of all time and they are never even mentioned here
