pity lies

AWOLNATION: I really don't like the first two songs, the third one sounded cheap as fuck at the beginning, like laughably, and while the beat doesnt really get that much, the songs is tolerable. Also my alarm clock went during this and its going BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP in beat.
My personal opinion, it's grade at being better than the beatles is F.


Cage the Elephant
Oof. F as well. Heard this song a bizzillion times, it never gets any better.

USS
Yes we have very tastes in deed. Fffff.

Foster the People
yeah, they're allright. C-.

Florence + The Machine
DShe's awesome, she gets a B. That's almost being able to touch the beatles, in my mind.

Metric
Ha, oh yeah Metric, they get a pass from me. B.

Nirvana
A, I put them on the same plain as beatles, though, I still think they were probably a little bit bitter. Nirvana is like beatles is JOhn lennon blew his head off right before recording Lucy in the sky.
 The Tragically Hip
C, but i like them all right.
 Mumford and Sons,
B
Muse
early stuff B new stuff D
Led Zeppelin
B
 Our Lady Peace
F
Smashing Pumpkins.
C+
 Blink 182
D+

thats cool. i disagree with your ratings but its all just opinions

Yeah, I agree with you that 90s music was awesome, though, I must honestly say I don't I'm a music guy. More into books, speaking of which, how about the new Stephen King novel, anyone got a problem with that?

[F U Clock]

Not to be contrary but yeah hipsters kind of hate anything popular. You know the whole, "You've probably never heard of them..." thing. They specialize in liking obscure shit/hating obscure shit when it inevitably becomes popular.

[TelephoneClock]

except the beatles arent popular anymore and havent been relevant in 40 years. you wouldnt call someone a hipster for hating al jolson or mozart. the beatles are old enough where being super into them is retro and more of a hipster thing.

Wasn't there a sudden interest spike in them when Beatles:Rock Band came out? I think I remember seeing more about them on TV when that game was released.
 
I would think because so many people consider the beatles good that it would be more hipster to not like them. Plus almost everyone recognizes the name even if they haven't heard any of their songs.

[DigitalLemonClock]

the term 'hipster' is ill-defined, leads to confusion and doesn't actually have a fixed meaning

according to this thread so far hipsters are:

the beatles

people who dislike the beatles

people who dislike pop music

people who hate anything popular

people super into retro stuff

ironically, wikipedia defines it as:

Hipsters (also referred to as scenesters[1]) are a subculture of young, recently settled urban middle class adults and older teenagers with musical interests mainly in alternative rock that appeared in the 1990s.

which would make clammo a hipster because he just told us he likes 90's alternative rock lol

its a shitty and confusing term plz avoid it

 I see Beatles shirts and bumper stickers all over the place, and p-much everyone I know has gone through a Beatles phase. There are select people I know who didn't, but I think most people will tell you that at one time or another, The Beatles were their favorite band.
They aren't relevant because they're an old, broken up band with songs most have heard a bajillion times, but they're still present because they, unarguably, were the most influential band of the 1960s, the most musically influential decade in the 20th century.
Not relevant, but they are the most important band of the 20th century. "Best band" is debatable, but I don't that last statement is.

They go beyond whats "hip" or not "hip" or what ever hipster is. They're just a fucking classic band, and all the irony and uncomfortably of most fucking bands is simply not present here.

define most important band

the beatles' impact was limited to the western world

most people in china only heard of the beatles around the 1980's

im willing to bet that India and most of the African and Arabic world is also largely unfamiliar with the Beatles

[Kombucha]

Clam could you please edit your post to use the [youtube] tag instead of the [u2] tag because this page scrolls kind of slowly.

[RobClock]

Thanks to this thread, and an iTunes commercial, I've spent most of the day with 'Magical Mystery Tour' stuck in my head.

Well done, Clock Crew.

Within the Western World, they are easily the most important band ever, and even outside of it, they were huge. They were the most popular band in Germany, England and America during the 1960s, and had a very large fan base in Japan, as well. I also watched a documentary last year detailing the impact of the Beatles on the soviet union and how their music inspired the young to rethink the priorities laid out by them by their government, and helped influence the social change that took place in 90s in Russia.

They developed numerous studio techniques (to put it lightly), marketing strategies and invented the EP. They changed the idea of a record from "The latest hits, with some covers and a throw away song or two" to a complete piece of original art. Each album was an event in and of it self, and both represented the current trends in music and life, and prophesied where it would go from here. Again, I believe this is not debatable.

When the Beatles encountered Indian culture and brought it back into their music, they also left an impression India. Africa, Arabia, alright, maybe they aren't as well known as other places, but that doesn't matter. The Beatles are still the most important band, can you think of a band that has had more influence, a single band that has progressed music and kicked down more doors?

Hell, what other band has had video games and films released forty years after their split based solely on their music, with more to come?

Also, China? The place that has the biggest lock down on their culture and hate letting anything else in? C'mon. Of course they learn about the bealtes in 60s.

Also, North Koreans only found out about the peace sign in the early 00's. There was an interview with some North Korean guy going "We have just learned this hand gesture is supposed to represent some kind of good will,"
