It's intimated in the magazine article.

It is indeed.
And whilst I probably could be described as a bit of a music snob, I should probably clarify my sentiments:

I like a lot of '60s music. I adore the Who, Beach Boys, Doors, Floyd, Kinks, Hendrix, as well as a lot of the Chicago blues recorded around that time. My parents never saw the appeal of the Beatles and so I wasn't bought up with anyone telling me how wonderful they supposedly were.

So when I first heard Sgt Pepper I was entirely nonplussed. Some of it I actively disliked, some of it just left me cold...and this was one of the all-time great albums? Lost on me.

But when I voiced this opinion, as I mentioned above, people seemed, more often than not, to look at me in disgust like I'd just admitted to being the main orchestrator of the Holocaust. Having met such hostility for harbouring such an apparently controversial opinion, it's kind of strengthened my resolve.

So admittedly, part of it is just me being obstinate in defending the opinion I thought I was allowed to have: The Beatles were just a band and I thought, on the whole, they were pretty crap. What annoys me is the vast number of people lining up to stone me to death for not believing the sun shone out of their arseholes. They were just a band: will the general public please get over it.

Watch Out!
I'm about to admit to being wrong:

I thought you had directed your comment at Crow-Boy. Je suis desole.
