As far as The Beatles are concerned................most of what GeoffW said sums it up. The fact is that when coupled with George Martin, what they recorded broke a lot of new ground for it's time.

Ballarat,

Mate, I'm sorry but what's behind this comment is disturbing............"I absolutely hate the Beatles. Always have.
I can honestly say that there is not one Beatles song that I like."

Thanks Chris, I got those mixed up. The Weight, by The Band is an awesome song.

Oh well Chris, we can't all like the same things. I was brought up on the Beatles, so do like some of their music, but then, I do have a mixed taste in music.

Cheers Peter
