Answers: I love The Beatles. Some kids tell me,

Trust me, kid..you are LIGHT years ahead of your peers.


Anyway, take comfort knowing you are DEF' not The Only teen who likes the classics. I've met many & plenty right here on Y!A do too.

Ask your peers who do THEY think'll be remembered by most of the human population in another 30 years: FOB or the Beatles?

That'll learn em!

being old and dead has nothing to do with how good their music was

because those bands have them totally brainwashed and they think they are better than they really are

well for one thing i am certainly not liek that! sureim totaly IN LOVE with FOB but i definitally love the beatles too! and my dad grew up with that type of music and so did i so i can basically tell u every classic rock band out there...im deffinitally a classic rock fan too...but my heart still belongs to FOB!

Every Generation THINKS that their musical idols are "new and fresh"
(I remember in the 80's every teen thought that the "boy" bands were a new thing,
when in fact they had "boy" (and girl) bands in the 50's

Unfortunitely a lot of kids who listen to those bands are very narrow-minded. What happens is that they either depend solely on MTV or other people to dictate what music they listen to. It's a sad fact of life, it shouldn't happen but it does.

I don't know what losers you hang out with, but all of my friends, even if they don't actually like the Beatles, agree with me that the Beatles are awesome.

Why do you stop at the Beatles and not credit their own myriad influences? Ad infinitum.

I could care less about the 10 points I'm going to answer this.

Speaking from a teen that likes underground metal and stays away from mainstream music/bands, typical teens nowadays that listen to FOB,MCR,Paramore etc. do not credit the classical bands because what I've seen from experience is that the bands they listen to is clingy and since the majority of teens that listen to these types of bands they are too afraid to be different than the majority. Another reason why they don't credit the bands is that well...teens nowadays see "old people" listening to "old music" and most teens do not want to end up like the "old people" especially in music taste as their past generations. Most teens now listen to MTV and never go past beyond that. Last but not least, most teens just look at the looks in a band now instead of the quality of the music their definition of a good band is "if a band has one hot or cute looking member than the band is good" its sad yes it is. I look for the quality of the music, not the looks, even if all the band members are ugly, but produce good music, it wouldn't matter they're all truly talented in my eyes. Unfortunately, nowadays music has become a fashion show,and most bands work on their image in the mainstream media,rather than the quality of the musicianship.

Anyone who says that about the Beatles should be executed. They don't know about the real bands. Listen to Led Zeppelin. They are widely known as one of the best, and also Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix could levitate, you know.

I LOVE MCR, but also- I listen to more "classic" bands. Out of the bands you listed i only like MCR, and Paramore. I respect the Beatles, and I LOVE KISS. Not all teens gone off the edge.

This has bugged me, as well. I agree that some of the newer bands out there are quite good, but if someone told me that FOB (who is one of the better new bands out there, in my opinion) was better than the Beatles, I'd either die of laughter or be in jail for murder. (Of course, the judge & jury would let me go once they heard what the person said...it would be justifiable homicide). :)

I think that anyone who really starts getting into music sees that this happens at every level. For any band out there, there were bands that they listened to growing up that they tried to emulate as they got older. Some bands even get their start as being cover bands for other groups (Live started out as a U2 cover band; Hootie & the Blowfish started out as an R.E.M. cover band).

Hopefully, as some of the younger generation grows up, they'll realize that MCR & FOB didn't invent all music. These bands aren't bad, but their just the tip of the iceberg.

i love classic rock! i think the 70's was the best age of music ever, and rock then was so much better then today, but i still like mcr and fob and some other modern rock bands, but i dont think they compare to there musical forefathers.

trust me im with you, imyoung an i listen to pink floyd rolling stones the beatles, queen etc. buy mi fav band is mcr so kids just need to stop being carbon copies of the person next to them i mean what happened to individuality.?

Why don't you listen to the Carter Family, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Bill Monroe or Tampa Red?

It's all relative. People who preach Classic Rock Is The Best, are the same as those teenagers you are talking about. They think what they grew up with is the best, and everything else is irrelevant. 90% of the classic rockers out there called the bands I listed dinosaur music and didn't listen to Classic Rock's origins.

haha cuz most teens are ignorant. i heartz paramore, hate fob (even tho patrick owns) and im not a big fan of mcr, but i love gwar, dethklok, and all the older heavy metal bands like kiss and slayer.

I feel your pain. My peers have just recently grown out of making fun of me for listening to "weird" music. I've gone through five years of being taunted for thinking for myself.

I got the same kind of cr@p from from people when they found out I liked The Beatles. But there I was listening to them, Dylan and Bowie while the wannabe gangstas were listening to 50 cent and the wannabe rockers were listening to Linkin Park and Good Charlotte. Honestly, what kind of impact will they ever have on the world?

I love fall out boy. Its almost unhealthy how much i love them. But that doesn't mean I don't like classic bands. i just love newer ones too :)

I have a wide range of music taste.

i guess some dont appreciate the history behind everything. i may not exactly like the beatles, persay, but i love other bands like ACDC and queen, etc. yea, the newer bands attract everyone just b/c they are plastered all over MTV, but as long as their music is great...im not the one complaining.
