Now firmly click reply and explain how the Beatles don't suck.]]>Mar 9th 2008 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/Mar 9th 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/Mar 9th 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/Mar 9th 2008 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/Mar 9th 2008 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/
Now just go crank up your fall out boy, cause they totally get you. It'll be ok.]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/Mar 9th 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/
Okay, ask yourself this: what was music before The Beatles like? Now, what was music *after* The Beatles like? Bit of a difference, wouldn't you say?

They were, without a doubt, the single most influential band of all time (not to mention the greatest), and without their music we wouldn't even be close to where we are today. There would be none of the music you listen to today -- there would be no Foo Fighters, no Modest Mouse, no Oasis, no Nirvana, no U2 -- nothing. Even all the crappy bands you probably listen to wouldn't exist. The Beatles invented the music we listen to today.

Not to mention the fact that Paul McCartney and John Lennon were the greatest songwriting duo ever.

The only people who don't agree with this simple fact are kids nowadays who listen to Fall Out Boy and Linkin Park and all that crap and think it's cool to say The Beatles suck. What they don't realize is that any band you've ever listened to was inspired by The Beatles. If you're ever lucky enough to meet one of the musicians you admire, ask them about The Beatles. And be sure to tell them you think that they suck.

Don't ever insult The Beatles. ]]>Mar 9th 2008 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/Mar 9th 2008 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/
In all seriousness, does this guy even deserve a reply? (yeah, and I know I replied too) I don't personally care for the Beatles, but you can't deny their influence...and demanding a logical rebuttal to an illogical flame is just stupid. I think we've all been had...trolls feed off of negative votes and comments.]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/
Now before i say this i must point out i am in no way suggesting the Beatles suck and that their influence and talent is obvious

However... if they hadn't existed would someone else have come along and done something along the same lines I wonder... after all it's easier to innovate earlier.

So, I could buy the CDs, or I could wait to see if these are DRM-free MP3 files. And, since the Beatles are released on EMI, and EMI's entire catalog on iTunes has gone DRM-free. And the downloads will be cheaper than the CDs. Works for me.

Plus, I know my mother will want to know how to use iTunes at that point. I have to assume millions of baby boomers will do the same.]]>Mar 9th 2008 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/Mar 9th 2008 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/Aug 7th 2008 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/Mar 9th 2008 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/

but this is about 37 years too late... hell even if you want to give credit to the fact that a good majority of Beatles fans today will buy ANYTHING to do with them this is still a few years later than anyone would care...

The Zep deal was better than this... because Zep isn't crap...

yes, i said it... the Beatles suck... get over it... some people like coke, some people like pepsi (and those people are wrong), it's how things are... ]]>Mar 9th 2008 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/Mar 9th 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/Mar 9th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/beatles-catalog-coming-online-at-long-last/
