The Beatles were packaged and sold just like JB, Elvis, the Backstreet Boys, New Edition, etc. That's the music industry now and that was the music industry then. Nothing has really changed except your perspective.

Now if you'd like to argue that some of their later work was relevant, I'd probably agree with you. Of course, then you'd have to concede that the possibility exists that JB could still write extraordinary music in the future, once he has established himself. Heck, maybe he'll spend some time with the Dali Lama....:lol:

He's the "Youtube kid" right?
I dont like the music or the modern music industry however I am twice the age of the demographic that drives music sales. Whats the difference between someone being discovered playing in a local bar vs discovered on youtube?

I've listened to all the albums... Im not talking about their early pop... Im interested in the later, drug fuelled psychedelic rock... Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Sgt. Peppers...

Again, dont compare the beatles to Justin Bieber...

We honestly don't know what that kid is capable of.:idk:

Most of the music we listen to has been packaged. I don't care if it's Rap, Country or Death Metal, someone has processed it, tweaked it, packaged it and sold it to us. That's the way it is and that's the way it always will be.

The music scene of the 60's and 70's is far different then todays.
