I'm thinking of buying every Beatles album, ripping them, isolating every musical note and spoken phenome and combining them however I want. Throw on a little post production and you can have the Beatles singing or saying anything. Maybe my first release will be "Beatles: Gangsta' Rap".
That'll be the day, pilgrim......

"The LOVE you take...
...is equal to...
.......the LOVE you MAKE" ..The BEATLES
"Praise GOD that...
...LOVE is the Only Reality and...
.......GOD is LOVE" ..A Freeper

I'd agree with you. I'm not really a big oldies fan, but my parents are, and I find the Who's songs are generally more fun to listen to than most of the Beatles' songs.
The Who are 'oldies'? Why do I feel like I need a walker right now?
They were so avant-garde at the time. Now they look like choirboys.
Man, they are total greed heads, aren't they? "All You Need is A Billion Dollars."
Listened to the preview and purchased it almost immediately (from ebay, of course :) I was a huge Beatles fan "back in the day." Thanks for the heads-up!

The blessed Theme Song for our U.S. 7th Cavalry's "Walk" thru the Valley of Death known as the IA DRANG Valley of November 1965 ... http://www.lzxray.com ...,
...was The BEATLES' brand new 'We Can Work It Out' song as we first heard it on our portable Armed Forces radio broadcasts at Pleiku Airstrip, South Vietnam...,
...while processing our many resultant Battle casualties. ...http://www.lzxray.com/guyer_set3.htm
It was the closest thing we had to HOPE.

OK, I'll agre with you there, but there sure is plenty of the Beatles "worst" out there.
LOL ......
Saying, as you moronically did, that the Beatles are right up there with the Clintons is shear idiocy. Is that more clear?
I happen to have just been listening to John's "Accross The Universe" last night. What a hauntingly beautiful song!

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
and call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box,
They stumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.

Pretty fine.
No, don't bother being ashamed. Just realize that you were writing like a freaking moron for comparing the Beatles to the Clintons.

The love you take is equal to the love you make........
Indeed, ALOHA RONNIE.
Methinks you were there when they were there? Another wonder: Here Comes the Sun.
Townsend invented longer rock songs (A Quick One While He's Away). Invented the Rock Opera (Tommy). And pioneered the incorporation of synthesizers into kick-butt rock tunes (Baba O'Reilly, Won't get Fooled Again).
In addition, Pete never went for that hippy nonsense like the Beatles did (his quote about Woodstock - "I 'ated it"). The Beatles, IMO, sound stale across time with their foray into Sixties psychodelia - whereas Won't Get Fooled Again was declared the greatest conservative rock song of all time and resonates no matter what era we are in.
I don't disagree with most of your points, especially "Won't Get Fooled Again". The Who's performance at the post 9/11 concert was one for the ages. You can't paint with such a broad brush regarding Beatle's tunes feeling stale. Yeah, how many times can you hear "Love Me Do" or "Yesterday" with wanting to chuck your nuggets BUT "Tomorrow Knows", "Dr. Robert", "It's All Too Much", are just a few that never get their due and never get stale.
Again, the Who, the Beatles, the Stones are all different. Zak Starkey, Ringo's son, is the Who's tour drummer. You probably knew that, I'm sure, but it might come in handy for Trivial Pursuit someday.

I love that song........... George's. George was a really good guy.
This time, the album really will be bigger than Jesus!
I still listen to some Oasis. Not much, but then I'm not a big fan of the Beatles either.
