Any fans of the Beatles out there? I am quite fond of their earlier more rock n' roll sort of stuff, as opposed to when they went more psychedelic.
What Beatles era do you prefer?
BTW: a very good film about their early years in Hamburg is "Backbeat". |

my aunt actually went to one of their concerts in Montreal and had to be slapped silly by my other aunt when she went hysterical...
I'm still a big fan, tho it irks me when kids ask "Was Paul McCartney in a band before Wings?"

| I'm into the older stuff, "Love Me Do" and "Hold Your Hand" - not into the later druggie stuff. |

| Me too, Thumper! Love their older stuff. Less keen on their later, more psychedelic sort of stuff. |

My 9 year old daughter is already trained to know the Beatles when they come on the radio.
Her other favorite band is Queen, and she had front row seats at a Prince concert when she was 6. What can I say? We're raising her right! |

Oh, yes - I love Queen too! Saw them live in Hyde Park!
I like Prince too - one of my friends is a big fan of his. |

| The death of Freddie Mercury? Yes, that was a great loss. |

Funny - I wasn't a huge Queen fan back the 70's...........and I don't care for some of their songs; but some do rock. And, I think FREDDIE Mercury was a showman before his time.
Prince is awesome. I've seen him twice. Talk about an entertainer. And, he's very small. I mean - very small. |

| Don't throw rotten eggs *or* tomatoes, please, but I may be the only person in the US *or* UK who never got into the Beatles too much. I'm not sure why. I did like some of the songs (Hey Jude most of all), but I was never a big fan. |

We only throw rocks for not liking the Beatles 
I only liked their early stuff, but together they just made up such a professional and talented team that you don't seem to see the likes of very often.
I think the fact that they all went on to excel in what they did, really proves the point. |

| they did shift successfully through the years... and individually, did darned well, considering how many bands don't survive! |

| Actually, I think the Beatles are more popular outside the UK than in it. Here nobody ever talks about them, yet other places I've been even young peeps like them. |
