I'm just gonna paste the answer I gave you on another thread:
I never ever, take these things seriously, I think maybe my horrible English makes people think I'm upset all the time, but bloody hell I laugh while I'm replying, I've never been obssesed with anyone (a little bit with Clapton and Plant, perhaps, but I'd never feel superior to anyone who hates them). The only thing that really upsets me in a thread is when someone calls me a "poser", feels superior or thinks that he's the real fan of a certain artist just because I'm younger than him/her. I never pretend that I love the music of someone that I don't know very well. If I say that I, for example, love The Beatles, it's because I've listened a lot to them and I know what I'm talking about, if you think only teens from the 60s have the right to know them, I don't care, I'll just go and enjoy listening to Rubber Soul or Revolver again.
Have a good day!

Octopus's Garden is perhaps the greatest song ever written. Chad, of course, wrote it. Any criticism of OG (or Chad) is doomed to fail from the start because Chad.

(though perhaps not if you're only fourteen...)

Don't give Batty what he wants.

Dear god you scream at YouTube? I mean, I scream at my computer screen too, but usually only after the third "fatal error Windows will now reboot" message.

I mean, let's be honest: they were a pretty average rock band who just managed to come to the public notice at a time when their kind of music was becoming wildly popular, and they rode that for years. Listen to them now, how different are they?

The worst though are the youngsters, the ones only discovering the Beatles now and going around as if they personally have discovered them and now everything else sucks.
