The Beatles were packaged and sold just like JB, Elvis, the Backstreet Boys, New Edition, etc. That's the music industry now and that was the music industry then. Nothing has really changed except your perspective.

Now if you'd like to argue that some of their later work was relevant, I'd probably agree with you. Of course, then you'd have to concede that the possibility exists that JB could still write extraordinary music in the future, once he has established himself. Heck, maybe he'll spend some time with the Dali Lama....


I've listened to all the albums... Im not talking about their early pop... Im interested in the later, drug fuelled psychedelic rock... Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Sgt. Peppers...

Again, dont compare the beatles to Justin Bieber...

He's the "Youtube kid" right?
I dont like the music or the modern music industry however I am twice the age of the demographic that drives music sales. Whats the difference between someone being discovered playing in a local bar vs discovered on youtube?

For realz.

Stefani Germanotta is the shit. Her with Elton John was fucking badass (once she finished her pop shit).

Dude, you don't sound any better than the teenie boppers screaming for JB. A fan is a fan, is a fan, is a fan....

We honestly don't know what that kid is capable of.

Most of the music we listen to has been packaged. I don't care if it's Rap, Country or Death Metal, someone has processed it, tweaked it, packaged it and sold it to us. That's the way it is and that's the way it always will be.

Naww, theres a big difference between a band that writes their own music and pop 'sensation' like bieber, who has little to no talent and sings whatever is given to them.

The music scene of the 60's and 70's is far different then todays.

Not to mention that very few people actually play an instrument these days.
