That is a position I could respect if you removed "from 1970". But liking pop culture from before 1970 is insane. You're a big fan of Fibber McGee and Molly? You own the entire run of The Lawrence Welk Show on DVD? You're psychotic.

1. Fibber McGee and Molly owns. (I got a bunch of recordings of old radio shows as a gift when I was a kid, I'm not quite :corsair:)

2. I feel like pop culture from the 60s might have been the tiniest bit influential too.

i don't think i personally know a single person in my age range +/- 5 years who likes the beatles. it was always a 'this is REAL music!' type thing that obnoxious teenagers enjoyed ime.

that's not to say the beatles make bad music, or whatever, but i don't think it really stands out as anything ridiculously noteworthy beyond the context of their success.

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."
Enjoying or not enjoying the Beatles is perfectly understandable either way. Enjoying the Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin, however, makes you very wrong.

actually, that won't be necessary.
It is allowed to have no strong feelings about the Beatles either way but be really annoyed when other people won’t shut up about how great they are?

There are few things I hate more than somebody trying to talk me into liking something.

I like Ringo's post-Beatles work better than any of the others'. John Lennon is the worst, obviously, and Imagine is just an absurdly overrated song.

I have a handful of bands that I rotate through the "favorite" position (which is to say, not what I'm listening to a lot of at any given time, but what I'll answer with if someone asks me my "favorite band"), but damned if I don't go back to Pink Floyd a lot (Atom Heart Mother through Wish You Were Here).

It's not even particularly "good mood music." It just feels right.

What really bugs the poo poo out of me is that my local NPR station, really the only radio in the area one could even kinda call talk radio, transitions to all-night classical music or jazz right at the exact time I’d most love to snuggle up in bed and listen to someone read a story (which I swear was a thing when I was little.)

I know there are podcasts. I know. Sometimes I just want to turn on my little survival radio and half-listen to whatever’s on though. It’s totally different.

Agreed and this also is why I kinda miss having tv instead of just streaming everything. I listen to podcasts as I fall asleep almost every night but sometimes you just want to hear/watch something without having to actually choose a specific thing. Yesterday I was like “i wanna watch a movie with dinner” and then my dinner got lukewarm while I browsed hulu. Kinda wish I could just flip on a gameshow or some poo poo.

The worst or at least most tedious Beatles opinion is that Ringo was a bad drummer, which always seems to be based on the notion that you don't deserve to be called a "good drummer" unless you play like Neil Peart.
