They also have a crap load more songs that are great, but few people have heard before. Much like Queen which most people say is crap, but then when they actually listen to the greatest hits cd they realize how wrong they are. Now if you have heard all their music, and still think it's crap. You must have very paticular taste in music. In which case I feel sorry for you because you'll never enjoy the things that bring pleasure to everyone else. I bet you liked disaster movie, and meet the Spartans! For shame GP, for shame!</p> @GP you obviously have no idea about their music because the beatles have at least 15 songs that are considered amazing by most people around the world.
