Four reasons why I love The Beatles

Four reasons why I love the Beatles

How's that?  Seriously though, there is so much to love about these guys.  This list would probably be longer, but I need it to fit in with my pun above.


1.  Their Hair / Suits / Smiles / General Adorable-ness

Anybody can see that these boys are a couple of handsome fellas.  I mean, just look at Ringo's smile!  Is that not the cutest thing that you've seen since the last kitty you saw?  And the suits that they wore during the AHDN days!  I hope I don't need to explain how suits make good-looking guys look good-looking-er.

One thing I want to point out, though, is that while I love their later musical works, this era's clothing and clean-shaven appearance best suits my fancy.


2.  Accents

What is it about accents that make English men irresistible?  How can the words "girl" and "world" as sung by the Beatles be the cutest things an American girl has ever heard?  I will never know, but I don't complain.


3.  Talent

Their gorgeous voices, perfectly comfortable harmonies, effortless skills at multiple instruments, beautiful and meaningful compositions, and occasionally, downright witty lyrics that make me want to laugh out loud.

How is it even possible that there exist/existed people with so much talent.


4.  Revolutionized pop music

Okay, this might be an over-statement -- everyone has his or her own opinions as to when pop music started and who did it best.  (In my eyes, it was the Beatles.)  But listen to a couple of the Beatles' albums in order, and you can hear their evolution from love-song-y boy band to full-out rockers / innovators.  I love the early songs, middle songs, and later songs, but to me, the changes in their lyrics and style show how they grew up and matured during those ten years.


So anyway, those were the ramblings of an obsessive fangirl.  (Also, there was a lot of Paul in this post, because he's my favorite.)  You're free to disagree with me, but please just be nice about it!
