In 10 years' time, the Beatles will sound even more shit than now. So I don't see myself ever liking them, even thought my music tastes are always changing and moving.

but I think that it is very much the blinkers of youth that would make you say they are shit :)
My biggest problem with them isnt their music, it is more the pedestal that they are put upon that gets me. I dont believe any band could ever be as good as people make them out to be. However, love them or hate them, you have to appreciate that they are the most important band in modern music.

especially the way that the surviving members have managed to get away with churning out some absolute shit (some of mccartney's most recent stuff is pretty good though, especially chaos and creation...)
i'd like to see a modern band so prolific and yet with such a range and quality to their music though

which Buddy Holly, David Bowie, Jimmi Hendrix among many many others disprove.
don't throw all of the old stuff out of the window because your folks listen to it. it was the music that shaped that generation for a reason.
i'm revisiting The Distillers at the moment. I do like brody's awful voice
