I tend to agree. I used to dismiss the Beatles a bit. I knew they changed a lot of people's lives musically and otherwise, but outside of a handful of popular singles, I never really paid them too much homage.

Then last year I had a hankering to listen to them. After I look, I realized they only released like 9 or 10 studio albums. Everything else was just compilations. Pretty amazing if you think about it; how their influence and reference has lasted years after their last record. Not many people mention anyone's solo work - it's always the group. (That's not to dismiss any success of Wings, Ono Band, or anyone else.)

If folks aren't that into The Beatles, I'd recommend listening to LOVE, which is the soundtrack to the Vegas show. It's basically a big ass mash up of Beatles songs. Drum tracks from one song might be under another, etc etc. It's the best group of Beatles songs to listen to.

But also, take the time to go back and listen to their albums. Just one at a time. They might not be mesmerizing, but you can at least understand a bit about their blowing the US radio market out of the water when they landed here. Their later albums are much more layered, experimental, diverse, thick, and interesting. Listen in order of release though.

Just wanted to note that I do appreciate your constructive, informative approach to the same idea.

Michael Jackson wasn't all that good of an artist as most make him out to be. He was mostly image.
