okay, well mr. rants-alot , If their music sucked, why did they have SOOO many fans? You have an opinion.....a very strong one.
Twilight has lots of fans.
I love the Beatles but populatiy does not equal quality.
Well, sure, but... I highly doubt in 50 years we're all going to still be talking about Twilight. The Beatles are still talked about for a reason.
And to FUNK's original post - even if the main reason The Beatles became popular was because of "raving fans" they've obviously proven that there was more too them than that. Granted, I am a little biased since I grew up listening to them - and was named after one of their songs by a complete Beatles fanatic, one of your aforementioned "raving fans", my mother - but I think the people who judge them are the ones that haven't actually sat down and taken the time to really listen to their music. Sure, I get tired of hearing "Can't Buy Me Love" and "She Loves You" on the radio all the time, but you need to really listen to them as a band that really matured (musically..) as they went on.
