he's obviously got his fans, but i just don't like his music, he reminds me of morresy with it all being doom and gloom

point me out a nice hapy tune he's done as a singleton and i will have a listen and MAY change my onion of it, but until then, it's just like the betles, over hyped crap as far as i'm concerned

nope, does nothing for me, his music is 30 years out of date so it's never going to be up there with modern day music

and it's not even got that up beat tempo like elvis has or them other american artists from the black and white days

youve obviuosly got shocking taste in music
"never gonna be up there with modern music" you are having a laugh surely?
so what modern day artist do you reckon is better than lennon or the beatles?
also how many elvis songs did elvis actually write himself?

simply because i think he's a boring old fart doens't mean to say he hasn't got fans

in the same way that the lead singer of the pussy cat dolls has got peole buying her records even though her current single is so shit that anyone else would have not even charted, yet the hype machine behind it is so massive it's almost certainly going ot be number one, same with cheryl cole and the rest of them brain dead maneged by somin cowel types

but yes, i much prefer the music made by the monkee's to the beatles

They were a group put together by music execs dojj in response to the success of the Beatles

So in essence you like music created by Simon cowel proteges only 30 years previous

When will everyone learn to just ignore dojj. Thats the only way he'll get bored and go away, he wont be able to argue with himself for long will he. If you keep quoting and arguing with him, he's going to keep coming back



RIP John lennon.

I was in New York earlier this year and visited the memorial in central park, tbh i was a little dissapointed! i expected a bit more than a mosaic but there were candles burning and fresh flowers and cards there, and this was in march. Goes to show you how much he still means to people!

Nowhere boy is a film about his early years and if you like him, its a good watch. Theres no beatles stuff in there, theres abit of McCartney when he was in his early bands but thats it.

Beatles and all of the "artists" in it were and are poo! Saddest thing about the 30 years is that they still play the music...

I can remember when Mike Reid used to do the Radio 1 breakfast show and every morning he'd insist on playing a Beatles track which was my cue to turn to local radio for the rest of the day.

exactly, hence why I hate most modern music


I'll be honest, I'm not his biggest fan. I hated the beatles and "Working Class Hero" was the only good song he did in my opinion. However, I may not like him he didn't deserve to get shot and it is a shame. Apparently the killer was motivated by "Catcher in the rye"? I've read it and at no point have I felt the need to kill a Beatle

R.I.P

But just because you don't like the way I think doesn't mean you can curse me like them bible bashers that were on here a few days ago, I don't understand what is so difficult to understand why some people like different things?

He's got a lot of fans yes, but so has lady gaga, so now you are going to compare the 2 of them?

You lot seem to be labouring under the hope that he was Jesus and will come back and make everything right in the world again when, at best, he was a singer who's mrs did more harm to his image than the good he was trying to do for himself, so in that respect he was more akin to David beckham.

I love the way that you lot think that because YOU like his music that I should like it as well, someone has kindly pointed out some YouTube links and I've listened, but it's just not my thing, how can I make it any clearer than that?

Others have also said it's not their cup of tea yet no one is saying they should burn in hell as they are heathens

I can't imagine a fate worse than listening to that song over and over again

Bet you lot are going to go and buy his songs so that you can remeber him, even though you will be giving money to his mrs who you all hate

And then you think that I get a bit worked up by wrestling

Dunno, but I understand from the news coverage that, like Di and the Queen Mum (Gawd bless 'er), he's still dead.
