Alive (with natural sound)
Name them cause I'm bored!
Here's my list:
Surely the Hamburg Beatles were a karaoke machine, just churning out endless covers for drunken audiences. I don't think the reason people still hold The Beatles in such high regard is ANYTHING to do with buying into the propaganda that you mention, it's to do with the quality of their original material and (whether you like it or agree or not) the fact that they changed EVERYTHING in a pop culture context. Just ask Roger McGuinn or Brian Wilson!!

Now if we kept the Hamburg Beatles I would be happy, what we got was a big money maker for the recording business and they played the game to a tee. They were for the greater part performing monkeys,
"Ohhhh Ringow gaw doo us a turn ya scally"
"Pauly doo that chimp noyse again ....awww yer face it lawks so cute"
Sure they turned in some good sides but science says if you get monkeys in a room with a computer one will produce a work of Shakespeare in time. That is what happened with the Beatles, press record and once in a while something decent would be caught on tape, mostly there was shit throwing and banana skin slipping though.
I blame the kids mostly for falling for it. Their parents had WWII to contend with and Glenn Miller music still resonating behind the bombs of the invasion, Glenn said more without lyrics than the Beatles ever did on a cup of tea with the Maharajah. Glenn died for his art and country stopping Nazi stormtroopers and V2 missiles single handedly with his trombone. The Beatles went to Germany and acted the fool ripping off American music.
The Beatles to me innovated nothing that was not already going on around the world, they were just an early musical karaoke machine for the kids just sensible enough to rip off, R n' R, R n' B, Folk Soul, Psychedelia... haha.... blah blah... and write their own lyrics to the stolen tunes.
I still have not made it through a whole Beatles record in all my years. Without skipping a track or seven. Believe me I tried to like the boys because the bands I love loved them. But again the bands I loved were stupid enough to buy the music biz and press' propaganda....
The capitalists hogwash. Earn the industry money monkey.... OOOOHHHHhhhhhhh (shakes floppy hair and winks at camera cutely, sound like Justin Beiber??? )
....People dislike , or can take or leave , The Beatles , for various reasons. Maybe some are'nt entirely justifiable , fair enough. Myself , I remember when The Beatles were still in rotation on AM radio , because they were current. I was'nt there for the whole phenomenon (I was , physically , there.) . I was about 4 or 5 when "Yellow Submarine" came out , and saw it , then , and I even remember where I was when I learned of their breakup (Just as well as I remember where I was when Elvis died.).....That said , like a lot of people , my big Beatle phase was from early to late teens. I really got deluged with them . That's just me. I also got deluged with The Stones and The Who , but , I went back. It's a lot easier to know the less - obvious stuff in The Beatles' back catalogue , today , than The Stones . There's a reason a Stones tribute band can , generally , only pick from 20 songs , while , nearly anything by The Beatles , short of "You Know My Name" and a few others , would still be politically correct , today.....It sure is'nt because The Stones , too , don't have about a zillion lesser - known gems . But , when I was really geeked up about The Beatles , it was a loner trip. Ditto for The Stones. It's easy to think everyone was into blatantly obvious Mainstream Rock in The Late 70's - Early 80's....They were , but , it was Boston , Journey , Foreigner , Eagles..... It's easy to knock The Beatles because they're too Pop ("I'm Down" is Pop?!), but , the Hipster types probably do so without at least having a sensible backing argument. I just had to get off the Magical Mystery Tour Bus back in The 80's. But , The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band.....That's another story , entirely.
Kept Roy Head from having a number one hit with Treat Her Right is one reason not to like them.
The Beatles were the first band to revive wild Rock & Roll. Approved!!!
And…..Ringo is an amazing drummer.
Rubber Soul and Revolver are two of my all time faves. There is also a discussion going on in the "Identify the LP cover" thread where someone was saying that people here don't like the Doors or the Stones!!?? What ever gave you guys this impression to start with?? I think you are missing something here. This site highlights predominantly the words 'Garage' and 'Punk' which in my book points to the more amateur, raw, and rarely known rock and roll sounds throughout the ages. Why do we love this sound? Because it's real and dirty and almost divorced from the 'Music Business' side of things. Not because we wanna be 'cool hipsters'. And I'm sure it's safe to say that every 'thinking' rock and roll fan here on the Hideout understands that without bands like the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, The Who, The Animals, Them, etc, there wouldn't have been much for mid-60's suburban teenagers jamming in their garage to emulate.

The Beatles wrote their own songs... If Elvis is 'God' then The Beatles are definately 'bigger than God'!
Nope i can't think of any and RUBBER SOUL is still my number one fave rave LP.
However i can't agree with ya Elvis statement.There's a couple of late sixties and Vegas tunes i like but his other stuff is pant's to my ear's.
Are there any real reasons to dislike the FAB FOUR ? And I think about
REAL reasons ... not reasons in that way like " I-want-to-be-a-ultra-cool-hipster-
and-I -only-listen-to-sixties-bands-nobody-knows-because-I'm-so-special ".
I guess the BEATLES are ( next to the WHO and the KINKS ) the most
cool, stylish and awesome band ever. They played in the same league
as ELVIS ... and ELVIS is GOD you know.
What do you think about ?
My brother just shared this on my facebook page. mainly awful teen metal
What about Throbbing Gristle's "Very Friendly"? Sinister and deadpan storytelling at its best. Hell, Any TG stuff should be included in this list. Just listen to "Hamburger Lady", about a burns victim, then try to think of Westlife. You'll be wishing they're Hamburger Men.
I suppose that the Last Poets song "Nigger's are Scared of Revolution" would fit in the category of politically incorrect songs.
Yep, seems The Beatles were fond of a bit of domestic abuse back in the day...
Here's a few:
Charlie Feather's line in Jugle Fever where it goes "Darkies creeping through the trees"
Jake Porter with the "Duchess" on vocals - "My Monkey" on Combo records from the early 50's
Forgotten Rebels - "Bomb The Boats and Feed The Fish"
Rozelle Gayle - "House of Blue Lights" a previously unreleased Combo Records recording from the early 50's that is on the "Straight To Watts" CD on Ace Records (I've attached it)
Louis Jordan - "Gal You Need A Whippin'"
The Weasel - "Beat Her With A Rake"
And the equally incorrect B-side
"I am The Commander"
"THINK TWICE "- OMFG , FILTHY !!! YOU MUST HEAR IT !!!!(A lot of R'n'B songs were recorded as a clean version for release , and a dirty version , for fun.)

Thanks Peter. I will give your show a listen! Cheers!
There's a great scene here in Santander. We're a small city, but there's a good metal scene and all the garagey-punk bands are doing something different to each other. Apart from us attempting our garage-powerpop, we've got Los Idolos Del Extrarradio (Idols Of The Suburbs) playing their new-wave pop and Soul Gestapo playing more classic blues rock.
The Idolos singer also runs a recording studio and has started The Drive Division Sessions where he's recording and filming local bands to put out a video each week (which is where the Soul Gestapo video was filmed.
We get a little over-shadowed by Bilboa, who get a lot more touring bands, but it's got a lot better the last couple of years with new venues opening and people like Lord Rochester passing through. There are a few small towns around the area as well that have great venues and have pulled in people like The Fleshtones, The Cynics and Tito and Turantula over the past couple of years. The TurboRock! garage festival at the start of September also brings us the likes of Mudhoney, The Bellrays, The Buzzcocks.
We're small, but comin' up and it's a great place to be instead of fighting to get your head above the parapet, like in bigger cities. There are a ton of bars that put on tiny gigs and if anyone's passing through, it's a great place to grab a gig, some grub and petrol money to keep you going.
I honestly don't know?! It's been awhile since I added that to my phone, but looking at the Ning app, I don't think it's the same thing, but searching GaragePunk Hideout or any other variations in the iTunes store brings up nothing. Was there something previously available through the iTunes store that isn't now? All I know is it's a seperate app icon on my phone. Sorry, not much help am I?
