Leave oldschoolfool alone. Is he not allowed to have an own and different opinion about The Beatles? Please don't treat musicians (or any other artist) as saints. If you do so, John & George will laugh at you from Cloud 9.

As I'm older than most VG members and was probably already listening to Beatles and Stones music when most members weren't even born, here's a bold and sad prediction: During the ~10 years I noticed a sharp decline of people's interest in old movies (i.e. what I call anything pre-StarWars 1977; young people don't watch them or know about them, older people forge about these movies even if they saw them when they were younger). I expect the same to happen to 20th century's music this decade. Most people I know already don't remember most song titles or even the name of the performer.

I blame mp3.

He's allowed to have a differing opinion. He should also be able to back it up instead of hit and run trolling. It's basically the equivalent of entering a thread about a Wii poll and saying "Lol, the Wii is overrated" and then saying nothing to back it up. Why you defend him is beyond me. And I disagree on what you say there. Movies today have more special effects and explosions and CGI and than movies from decades ago, not to mention the recent popularity of 3D. Music, on the other hand, has generally gotten less complicated and less innovative from decades ago. In the 60s, artists were experimenting with all different types of instruments, from the French Horns to the Harpsichord. Nowadays, many music acts don't even play instruments.
