Sacrilege?
I don't like the Beatles. I'm sure they're nice people (besides John who was an egomaniac), but I'm referring to their music. I can't stand it.
I know it's probably sacrilege to say that. They were the hottest selling band of all time. Why they are and Judas Priest isn't, I have no idea. But that's besides the point. The point is, they're a band everyone likes, they put out tons of albums, and of all their music, I only like one song, A Day in the Life. That's it. Oh, and I can stomach While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
When I was buying the house we're currently in, the selling real estate agent and I somehow got on the topic of music. Neither of us liked the Beatles. I called them "Prozacky" and he laughed.
Ever see Ren and Stimpy? The Beatles are like The Happy Happy Joy Joy Song. Listening to them is like putting on that helmet. You think you're happy but you're really not and when it ends, you feel like going postal, like Ren did.
I will not allow Beatles albums in my anti-zombie compound. If someone plays the Beatles, I'm likely to shoot the speakers. I'd rather hear the incessant moaning of the zombies outside the compound than the Beatles. That's how much I don't like them.
Anyone else hate something that everyone else likes? Like apple pie? Krispy Kreme doughnuts (yummy)? Massages? Harry Potter books? The movie Titanic?

I'm with you on the Beatles. In my case it's due a group of friends I had in high school who could always be counted on play either the Beatles 'White Album' or The Doors 'Greatest Hits'... because of this, I hate both. I did used to get sappy when I heard 'The Long and Winding Road' though because it reminded me of my junior prom and Vicky Votel... What can I say?
I despised 'Titanic' and also 'Gladiator'... I don't think I need to explain the first and the second was just a remake of 'Conan' set in Rome. Who needs that crap in their life?
Also... I'm pretty sure that 'American Idol' is really just a role call for the first people to go when the Zombies strike. I won't cry when that happens.
I live in Minnesota and don't like blueberries, walleye, or hockey.
I love the Beatles, but I keep it in a historical perspective. I've been playing lots of early Led Zep lately as well. I used to be sick of them, but now I'm trying to remember how exciting they must have sounded when they first hit the scene. I want to capture the magic.
THANK YOU.
I also don't like the beatles. I find them terribly boring, lacking flavor ... "White Bread" is my best on-the-spot analogy.
I don't understand how other people claim they 'started it all'. It's not because of my age either -- for instance, I am a HUGE Nina Simone fan ... and she'd been in the game long before The Beatles.
Dusty - I keep seeing Avril L pics everywhere. No idea who she is though. I loved LOTR though,
even though the orcs fought about as phony as those Italians pretending to be Indians in the Cowboys vs Indians movies when I was little.
Shawn - I don't like Morrison's voice. It bugs me. I don't see why the Doors got so big. I don't like that keyboard either. Sounds like a retarded harpsichord. As for American Idol, I've seen it once and could only stomach a few minutes of it. Yuck.
Tshsmom - I love blueberries. But I guess that strike got a laugh out of you. ;)
Jason - Another reason I must be weird. I don't like Led Zep either. I always thought Blackmore was a more exciting guitarrist than Page. However, I do like Robert Plant, just when he had his solo albums in the 80s and the Honeydrippers.
Cultureshocked - Yes, white bread is how I see them. White bread laced with prozac.
eh, I'm not a huge fan of them either, I just can't believe anyone over 25 even knows what Ren & Stimpy are. I LOVED that show growing up and still see it every now and then.
I hated Titanic, and am beginning to hate Star Wars.
I liked the Beatles, not loved. But, you know who else I think is over-rated? Frank Sinatra. Yes, he could sing, but all of the lounge lizards sounded the same.
I hate Disney animated characters, they're not half as funny as Loony Tunes.
I never get the excitement or wonder of fireworks, either.
Wow. I love how everyone on this blog is not afraid to hold back. I love that.
Too many times I've seen people hold back what they really think because they're afraid someone will get offended. You people are so honest, it really almost brings a tear to my eye, even if it's something that I completely disagree with.
Michele - Yes, as much as I love Disney's rides in Fantasyland and New Orleans Square, their cartoon characters suck. I don't like Mickey or Goofy or any of those. I love Bugs Bunny & the other looney toons so much more. James Bond may have saved a few cities from nuclear explosions, but Bugs saved the Earth from Marvin the Martian.
Dusty - wish you weren't in Canada. I'd let you borrow my Pro Tools. It's just sitting here collecting dust.
Ben - John K was trying to make a comeback with internet cartoons, but I doubt it made him any money. It's too bad. That guy had so much talent.
Bridget - don't like the Stones? Well, I guess you could see them as needy. I saw them more as perpetually horny.
I'll tell you this: I'm beginning to grow very tired of Napoleon Dynamite. That movie comes up in at least one conversation every day.
Yeah, Zombieslayer Jr said Napolean Dynamite sucked and not to bother.
