Wait, Why the Hell is That Considered "Legendary?"

[Ralen-Sharr]

i don't like some "legendary" stuff like the halo series they are more boring then mass effect plus some any JRPG i dont like final fantasy games probably because they are JRPG's , i just don't like games that are turn based and more tactical then good gameplay,i dont like starcraft i haven't tried the second yet maybe the second is better because the first was just "meh" the best rts games i have played so far are warhammer 40000 dawn of war and rise of nations : rise of legends maybe starcraft 2 isn't so bad im gonna have to try it out

I have to agree with Julianking93 on many points. I really viewed Oasis as a ripoff of a band I really don't like anyway, so there's no way I'll give them any credibility.

Watched as much of that White Stripes vid that was linked above. Maybe there is something to the lyrics but musically it's not my cup of tea.

There are craploads of things that I will never understand why they even became popular, much less "legendary". Although I can't help but feel that some of it is the herd mentality. It really makes me laugh when someone can't answer WHY they like something they claim is so great. I've been given answers like "it's (name of whatever popular thing)".

the white stripes are freaking awesome you probably don't like them because you don't like rock

I suppose that depends on your definition of "rock"
I like bands that sound good, and what sounds good to me may not sound good to you. Using AC/DC as an example, I do like them. I like a lot of what they've put out there. They are quite clearly rock.
I don't like white stripes (after hearing them), or the rolling stones, both may be rock, but I don't like the sound they produce. I'd have to say that I'm picky about music, and I don't generally like any one genre as a whole, but individual pieces that may fall within one particular one.

People are like drugged monkeys and are very easily entertained by random coloured lights.

This is so true.... LOOKITTHESHINYTHING!

*starts poking at your headband badge*

More clearly on topic: Lots of people become fanboys/girls without ever really realizing it, and start trying to convince everyone around them that 'this THING' is better than sex in an effort to feel like their included in a larger group that appreciates 'this THING'. At least, I think you can explain some of it by comparing it to 'tribal inclusion' dynamics, but I'm not exactly a trained mental health professional; I'm just mental.

You really have no fucking clue of what you taking about do you?

It wasn't "perhaps they changed recording" they did change. Guitar feedback? That was The Beatles. Double tracking? The Beatles. Close recording of acoustic instruments? The Beatles. Sampling? The Beatles. Backward tapes? The Beatles. Synchronizing tape machines? The Beatles.
There's a lot more shit in which The Beatles pioneered and innovated.
Probably the only person that can boast to has changed recording so much is Frank Zappa.

Also The Beatles changed the "album". It went from being a collection of singles and filler, to containing more elaborate music and arrangements. Hell you probably wouldn't have Rock Operas and the likes if it wasn't for the Beatles.

They also pioneered music videos. MTV can be thankful for them.

Also they did change how people saw, heard and felt about music. Even it's place in pop culture changed dramatically because of The Beatles.
They are synonymous with the 60's. They changed how music was perceived by everyone in the world in that decade. It wasn't just pop music. Their music became attached to political movements and it represented the rebel spirit of the 60's. Music without The Beatles would be totally different, and that's not bullshit is fact.

In fact after so many years there isn't a SINGLE musician or musicians that have reached the same impact that The Beatles had during the 60's. None.
Not Elvis, not Michael Jackson, not The Rolling Stones, not Led Zeppelin, not Madonna and most certain not Oasis and pretty much every single band that showed up in the last 10 years.
None has ever able to recreate the effect that The Beatles had. And that's what stuff of Legends is made of.

Oh, so you have?
So you have been around listening to music before the Beatles and EXPERIENCED how they changed music?
Consider them a legend if you want to, but don´t dismiss those that do not, it´s the whole point of this thread.
I totally felt no impact on me listening to the Beatles...I also don´t have a fucking clue about music history because I don´t find music history to be an interesting subject.
I listen to some bands or musicians, and if I like them good, if not then so be it. I don´t care HOW they made music I like...
Imagine the Beatles didn´t pioneer in music as you say they did.
Don´t you think someone else would have had the clue?
Do you honestly think the Bands that are formed in the last decade would NOT EXIST and would NOT MAKE the music they are making now?
Half the stuff the Beatles did is obsolete now anyway because of better technology.
The Beatles pioneered in music videos? Oh yeah right, because we all make music videos like the Beatles nowadays.
Don´t get me wrong, the Beatles were and awesome Band and had a huge fanbase...but everything you say has about as much impact on me then it would have on someone who has never seen a Radio before. It just changes NOTHING of what I think of the Beatles, because I DON´T CARE!
And that is expression of free thinking.
Good night.
