My friend and I were talking about the Beatles the other day. Spefically, we got fixated on 'Old Brown Shoe' for about half an hour. 'Old Brown Shoe' is not a well-known Beatles song, but it does figure on the Beatles very famous 'blue album'; which is possibly the Beatles album most people own.
It's pretty much impossible to say anything useful about the Beatles on the grounds that everything's already been said, and all of us at our age have grown up always knowing virtually all the songs. 'Old Brown Shoe' is not in this category, though. Unfortunately, it's just piss poor.
So, in looking closely, we figured that the Beatles are basically (a) a collection of songs where you can't tell whether they're good or bad, and (b) bad songs; ergo, the Beatles are shit.
Which is of course great news, because I like shit bands. I think I'll pop on Abbey Road.

I listend to Abbey Road thsi morning for the first time. It was indeed shit, with good bits.
I have also been downloading Beatles shit from this site:

My excitment is temepred by the fact that much of it is "listen to once" stuff.
I think it is John Peel talking on the Apple Rooftop Concert, on the street below, asking if that is the Beatles, because it doesn't sound like the Beatles.
