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 ?

I want to believe that, but... rap music, Lady Ga-Ga, The boys and girls coming out of Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel, almost every #1 hit before and after The Beatles, all make me think talent is the one thing 'musicians' don't need to be considered great. I'm in no way saying The Beatles weren't talented, but that's never been enough for any other band ever.

Those were different times, before the industry learned how to shove shit down people's throats.

You may be right. In fact, you probably are. I never actually said The Beatles weren't great. Honestly, I think they did some great stuff. I just get really tired of people trying to give them credit for creating sounds that they didn't create. Did they help open some doors? Sure. There were hundreds of bands already beating on those doors that would have gotten them open one way or another. Let's give rock and roll itself a little credit here.
