Loonytoons Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I can quite easily listen to the Beatles being on in the background. No chance would I ever go (or have gone) to see them live. Sod that.I used to work in an up-market corner shop in Edinburgh. The owner only allowed The Beatles or classical music to be played.Utter torture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I had a rare time at TITP etc when I was more capable of sustained drinking and drug taking/not going for shite for 3 days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomintroll Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Just now, Sergeant Wilson said: Definitely overrated but they did have some good stuff, particularly latterly. I often like their songs being covered by other bands rather than the originals. I think they, and a few comedians, influence my dislike of Liverpool as a place. Too many pubs etc trading on a tenuous connection. Places called Ringo's and Lennon's etc. I live nearby & have had my issues with the place & some people in the past, but overall Liverpool is a great City with great people living there. I know I will always get a great welcome on a night out there as I am not from that London or its environs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Watched a bit of McCartney last night. It was poor stuff, loads of songs I had never heard before. Just switched off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way, I agree, all music is subjective, and as much as I do like them, The Beatles can be overrated yet they are one of the best bands of all time. 3 singer songwriters of high quality, at the same time, in the same place, plus oor Dick. This is not a trap but who are your favourite bands? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop spelling it wrong, or at least call them the Silver Beetles, I do love Queen however, a band with 4 singer/songwriters & the best frontman of all time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Glastonbury is still better than TRNSMT though. TRNSMT is just thousands of Buckie and coke fueled neds looking for a fight while Gerry Cinnamon or Paulo Nutini plays in the background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
