Agreed, but I think you'll find it's spelled Reese Wetherspoon, after her grandfather who founded the pub chain after a lifetime spent in food waste disposal.

My dislike continues with her brother David still not signing for us

Any Scottish person who cares about the English premier league is a lickspittle quisling who deserves to be tried for treason as soon as we achieve independence.

But it's a league like no other?

Define care. I've watched both games today, I don't care who wins, but has passed the time.

While I like some tracks and despite it being 50 years old I don't really care for hip-hop 

"I like a bit of everything except rap and country" is possibly the most popular opinion aired about music!  :P

The Beatles music is pish. I'm sure that, at the time, it was great as there was so little else about. But now? Nah.

Oh, and the Rolling Stones are boring too.

I never got the Stones thing. They've got a couple of tunes I like, but generally, nah. Always perplexed me a bit as my mum used to slag the Beatles when I was wee and talk about how much better the Stones were. Think she just liked bad boys personally.

Even if you don't like the Beatles, it's almost certain that your favourite bands cite them as an influence, or that their influences were fans of them. But here's an unpopular opinion - Paul McCartney's Wings had some really good songs and were unfairly slagged for being shite.

The band the Beatles could have been.

Other way around for me. 

I'm into 50's rockabilly, so the stuff that influenced the stuff that influenced the Beatles, and I think it's for that reason that when I hear the Beatles' early stuff it just sounds to me like a piss-poor pop take-off of the RnR stuff that they cited as early influence.

I don't like their early sound, and I don't see any merit in the music itself because being a fan of much earlier stuff the actual songs themselves just sound to my ear like a shite commercialised version of pre-existing RnR. Bad plagiarism, basically.

I'm a Carl Perkins fan, but the Beatles covering stuff like Perkins just sets my teeth on edge. It's invariably awful and an insult to the original.

The later Beatles stuff I have no opinion on because it's a style of music I have no interest in, but they sold a fuckton of records so I suppose they must have had something going for them.

I don't actually mind George Harrison, some of his solo and colab stuff, Wilburys etc, but the Beatles themselves, nope, and McCartney is a talentless walloper.
