The Beatles are one of the most influential bands in the history of popular music. Their melodies bring people happiness, as do the hearts of the four young men the band consisted of. They swept an entire generation off their feet and their presence continues to be felt. Not much else needs to be said that hasn't already been said.
If you're not a Beatles fan (and hardcore about it), don't treat them like they're something evil, because they aren't. The music is separate from the actions of the band. Sometimes they did wrong and stupid things, but so does everybody else in the world. Most of their songs were harmless and about good things. Just see the music as something that's not for you and don't spoil other people's joy by throwing a fit over how much you dislike the Beatles.
Now, a critique for mega-Beatles fans. Never make the coked-up assumption that kids who listen to modern music are completely against the Beatles and other influential artists. I will admit to liking dozens of modern artists usually bashed by oldies/classic rock-purists, but I still think all of the influential musicians of the past are at the top. I have a lot of friends who appreciate classic music even if it may not be their preferred style.

Random Person: Man, the Beatles suck, they're dirty hippies with cheesy music that doesn't mean anything, how can people listen to that...

Get the The Beatles mug.A band I find to be one of the best bands in history. I understand why some may not like them, especially those who like metal.
Comprised of John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, and Paul McCartney, this band took rock and pop to a whole new level in the 60's, 70's and 80's. They're one of the most known names in music.

Get the The Beatles mug.My favorite band. It doesn't have to be yours, but it's mine.
When I listen to them, I feel my mind clear. They're respected by many for a reason though. The harmonies are brilliant, sometimes similar to the Beach Boys (who are also awesome).
Some people think they're over-rated, and that people only like them because they're told it's good. I liked the Beatles songs before I knew the name of the band.
I love them.

Get the The Beatles mug.Technically speaking, the idiots above are somewhat correct. The Beatles were a middle man in influencing modern rock, albiet a very important middle man. Early blues musicians from America were the true influential backing for most of the 60's and 70's. BUT, the Beatles were the first band to truly take the bluesy sound and transform it into what we see as modern rock. you can even track this progression through their discography, each album growing more like rock, and with a more bluesy background. Now the persons above do not seem to realize just how pivotal a role this was. No one had ever before done anything like this. This paved the way for such groups as the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and the like. The Beatles music in general may be slightly overated (although i do not belive so) BUT the musical importance of it is in NO way overated, it was such an enormously pivotal role in the transition from early rock to what is now called modern rock it is hard to imagine what would be considered modern rock if fate had not brought together some of the most musically talented individuals the 60's, or the 20th century for that matter, saw.
