My guess is that many (not all) of the ones who feel the Beatles were greater were a little younger than I.
It makes sense Ed. Yes, music has a bigger impact on our lives as teenagers and as we grow older and begin to face the real problems in our life as music sometimes takes a back burner. If a new phenom came along today I would not give a *** about the music. Even when Michael Jackson was the God of the 80's I could care less even though I admit The Thriller Album was a great one.
