Fun Fact: George Harrison (in red) alongside the name of the album, were the inspiration for General Pepper from Star Fox.
In the Benimaru Itoh comic during the SNES Era, Pepper even mentions having been a sergeant.

When I’m 64, I’ll still be a Beatles fan.

All other bands are bad (compared)  
And they should feel bad.

Wow Lyra, you’re right for once.

you guys are fun. this is fun.

@ niggoslav: N*Sync was a cheap, formulaic imitation of the beatles, and you obviously have only listened to only a couple of their songs. do I think there are bands that are better? yes. do I think those bands have made as much of an impact on the world as the beatles? no. that is nearly impossible. john lennon might have been condemned by a lot of religious nutbags when he said it, but he was right; the beatles did have a bigger than jesus. sheer numbers support taht fact.

I’m unfortunately not a purist and nostalgia-dependent when it comes to music, so I moved on from the Beatles eventually when I discovered metal; I don’t give it the great pedestal it has in history (because anyone can see it has claim to fame and importance in music history) because I’m not the sort who appreciates somber as much as intense movements. However, of the songs I have heard, I liked “Michelle”, “Imagine”, and “Hey Jude”.
 
And while I allow people to dislike what they will, but who the hell is N*Sync?

there was a time when music was good and that time was spent in a yellow submarine in pepperland.  
the beatles are the best because everyone says so. their songs reach distances and times they never will.  
heck i can garanty that in a couple of decades they will still be playing on radio stations.

The fact that you compared The Beatles to N*Sync disgusts me. You know nothing about the Beatles or how incredibly important they were to music as a whole. I guess you think you’re edgy and cool because you don’t like the most popular band ever, but believe me the Beatles music was not “potheaded hippie cunt” music. Listen to Nowhere Man or In My Life and tell me that it’s anything but unbelievable music.

LOL, if you think Beatles only sang about being hippies and peace and love, I’m sorry to inform you that you don’t know anything about them. Nostalgiafag? Sorry, but bands like Beatles, Queen or Pink Floyd accomplished what they deserved and that’s why they’re remembered, not because we’re “nostalgiafags”. You sound like being mad because your Jazz and Classical isn’t as ‘big’ as Rock. I sure love other genres and appreciate them, but stop being a “hur hur beatles suck because they’re overrated” fag. I know there are musicians that outdo them, so what? They aren’t any smaller than them. Sorry that you live in your “I know what real music is and you don’t” world.

I certainly know why. Because 60s rock was all about being a stupid potheaded hippie cunt and so long as the themes of the music are love and peace or ‘singin’ against the man’ then they are the greatest effin’ bands in the world. Unfortunately, we’re not yet far enough along that all those nostalgiafags have died off yet, and are still breeding more and more trendwhores whom mindlessly hop on their little yellow bandwagon, meanwhile the faux critics of little worth in the Classical and Jazz fields have been dead for ages.  
They were middling when they came out, and they still are of middling talent today. You’ve got to be a stoner to be unable to appreciate anything better. Batio, Satrioni, Waters and Malmstein could tear them apart in their sleep.  
They were the N*Sync of their day, just accept this and you can rest easier.  
Trust me, when the last of the Boomer generation finally dies, the drop in sales will be IMMENSE

@BP  
Lol, then who sold more than Beatles? Tell me. With that comment, you truly are very far from understanding what The Beatles did, or understand what Rock has accomplished in the history of music. I highly doubt you understand why Sgt. Pepper’s is claimed to be the best album in history. Research a little more about who Beatles were and then come back.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success: the Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worth of being saved.

It’s hard to call a band overated when they literally wrote every good song ever.

FUCK THE DONGS. THEY SUCK BEATLES.

silly lyra, your picture forgot about Scotty Pippen.

a bit overrated but they’re still pretty damn good

@BP  
U mad?

@64 The trope displayed here (well, one of them) would be a Subversion.

Imagine if ponies collective knowledge and perception of the human race was built entirely on Beatles songs.

a Proper british band.

@sixtyfour215  
Nope, this isn’t “lampshade hanging”, if it was she would point out she might be wrong or something like that.

John Lennon is bigger than Luna. :B

It’s true.
