Top 10 Reasons Why I Freakin' Love the Beatles

1)  Their music is timeless.  They formed, made all their music, and broke up decades before I was born, and yet I still love them.
2)  Their music is universal.  Everybody loves the Beatles.  Even if they say they don't.  People who say they don't love the Beatles either haven't heard all their songs or don't realize that some of the songs they love were written by the Beatles.
3)  Paul McCartney used to be kind of hot.  You know it's true.
4)  Abbey Road parodies are SO FUNNY to me for some reason.
5)  I cannot listen to "Here Comes the Sun" without smiling.  Can you?
6)  They do songs about everything, from the most obvious, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" to the really strange, "Polythene Pam," and "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," and yet they're always awesome.
7)  I play RockBand in my head when I hear certain songs now, and that reminds me of home and family. :)
8)  Everybody wants to be the Beatles.  Their songs have been covered and re-covered over and over again.  But nobody does it as good as they did.  (Across the Universe?  Yuck)
9)  Beatles movies are crazy!  I watched Help a couple weeks ago and it was so wacky.  I loved it.
10)  They were the ultimate garage band.  They started as just a group of kids trying to write their own songs, they slapped on some suits and eventually even produced their own stuff and became international superstars.

I do NOT love the Beatles. People need to quit telling me that I love the Beatles. I like a few of their songs - but ONLY when someone else is singing them.
