The fact is that I otherwise also harbour in my heart a deep, strong love for the 60s - the music , hippies, drugs , free sex everything calls to me from its decadence.
The Beatles form a part of my favourite artists singing during the 60S . While their extreme popularity overshadowed a lot of other good bands who were promptly dismissed as being Beatle-like (like my all time favourites The Animals), The Beatles produced BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. Now , a truly difficult list would have been to make of my 10 favourite Beatles' songs . But smart that I am , I will rather discuss why I love this band so much - despite (and i have to agree here ) the fact that a lot of their songs have overlapping lyrics and even similar music. The Beatles are liked my people who listen to English Music for two reasons , because - a.) The ridiculous amount of media attention that has been given to the band which makes them a 'cool' and 'legit' band to listen to ; and b.) Because people discover that while they were singing about love and girls they were more than just the blues numbers famous in the previous decade .Or some just lose themselves in the trippy, soothing melody of the songs. Now many would disagree with this - but the band was very much and still is the largest commercial act in the music industry.
