The Beatles are a band in which only two out of four members are still alive, sadly. Some people love them (like me) and some people hate them (how could they!?). But who is right in this debate? Do people hate the Beatles for no good reason—or were they really just a bad band? In my opinion, the Beatles are the greatest thing that has ever existed in the multiverse, and you can see how hard it is for me to believe that some people would rather cross a tightrope over an active volcano rather than listen to them. (Too specific?) These are some reasons why people love the Beatles: they were one of the first rock bands to have their own production company, Apple, and to attempt to manage their own career after the death of their manager, Brian Epstein. They also pioneered new recording techniques and ideas, sometimes forgoing live tours to develop more sophisticated studio sound. The Beatles had a squeaky-clean image compared to other bands in the 1960s, but they were still arrested more than once. (What!?) For the most part, they, like many bands at the time, faced arrest for drug possession. You may be as shocked as I am ( I would be immensely surprised if you were not). Some people don’t like the Beatles. The Beatles may gave had some faults, but their music, anyone has to admit, is pretty great.
