Relax. I liked/like the Beatles’ music just about as most people did and still do. But the great legacy of the Decca label resides in their classical music recordings. Something that might not be recognized enough today - the Beatles did just fine on some other label, so their rejection by Decca did not deprive us of their talent. (And, for the record (heh!), I was not-quite-born-yet 50 years ago.)
Enjoy this evening with some of your favorite music, just as I will!
Ah....your earlier comment now makes more sense to me.
I won't say that it's hard for someone not living during those times to fully appreciate the music of the Beatles, but if you were alive and listening during that era, your appreciation for their work would be much richer, due to your having been part of the culture that inspired it.
They were quite literally, the chief soundtrack of an era.
