What Kind of Music do you guys like?
Well, as you said, they were and still are very popular. They have catchy tunes, and the songs are relatively easy to play. I'm in no way denying the Beatles greatness, I just like to listen to other music. There is other music that feels immortal, such as Queen, 70s Kiss, AC/DC and many many more. 
I do listen to Beatles every now and then, but it's mainly their hits.. John Lennon's 'Imagine' is a masterpiece, and I love McCartney's "Live and Let Die". =)
I saw the most amusing thing on the web about the Beatles, and that was a conspiracy theory that McCartney was replaced with a lookalike early on.. Don't remember if it was the 60s or the 70s.

I'm with you man. I listen to some of the same guys you mentioned above. I also like Zep, Floyd, and Heart. But, if I were stranded on an island and could only listen to one band's music, it would be the Beatles.
The conspiracy in which you speak is all over their music and LP covers from 65 on up.
There are tons of "clues" in the lyrics and the LP cover art and I even own a book dedicated to that very thing. Very interesting for a group to add more and more clues to the mystery with each LP.

the thing with the beatles becoming so popular is because they came around with the right music at the right time. They came in and started playing this rock and roll music when the majority of music consisted of ballad singers (stuff like frank sinatra), suddenly here was this fresh new band, with catchy songs, instruments and "good" looks.
Its the same with alot of these people, im not an amazing fan of the beatles, the rolling stones, jimi hendrix, queen or bands like that, but theyre all the same, the came around at the right time and captured a hungry audience. I may not think theyre good but i cant deny that all these bands revolutionised
1. the way music is looked at
and
2. inspired countless of other bands
the beatles are hailed as the biggest band ever, much in the same way as how elvis is seen as the greatest musician who ever lived, theres no singular reason why the got so big, all that needs to be known is that they did.

If you want some amazing creativity, check out Devin Townsend at www.hevydevy.com. He has done the metal band Strapping Young Lad but also does solo music which is some of the most heartfelt shit you could ever hear.
Everything except extreme rock/metal, and alt metal. *looks around nervously*
I also hate techno but I LOVE house music. *jack my body* *can you feel it* *you aint really down, playing the games you do*
I love old school r&b and soul music. *girl you know IIIIIII love you no matter what you do... cuz I loooove you... CUZ I love you... LOOOOOOVEEEE YOOOOUUUU.... Oh oh oh oh oh ooooooooooooh* that is what I am listening to right now as I type this.
I love 70's music.

I never thought I'd ever type this, but right now I'm listening to Bach's Goldberg Variations, performed by Glenn Gould (the 1981 recording...his last ever). I've never been much of a Bach fan at all. I mean, I certainly recognize that he was a genius, and as a composer, of course I study his music, but it hasn't been until the last month that I actually enjoyed listening to his music. Not all of it, but some of his keyboard music is absolutely beautiful, and Gould just made it absolutely come alive.
I challenge any of you to name one modern pop/rock/metal/whatever musician (aside from traditional composers such as perhaps John Williams) whose music will be looked upon as the standard 250 years after their death.

I listen to pretty much anything I can get my hands on. I see a lot of people are into classical music, which I listen to at times, too. My family has a strong musical streak from both sides (mother's side in particular; she's a piano teacher), and I myself have played cello for 4 years (I play bass nowadays). I have had the privilege of being introduced to ''true'' music at a very early age, not just the shit that's on MTV, so I can appreciate good classical music when I hear it.
I do listen to some rap and hip hop (old school Snoop, 2pac mainly), metal (Slayer, Pantera, Mudvayne), and a lot of funk, both old and new. Red Hot Chili Peppers is, and always will be, one of my favorite bands of all time. Some ''true'' funk legends that I dig include Tower of Power, the Meters, George Clinton, Ohio Players, Average White Band and Marcus Miller, just to name a few.
