Beatles Gleefully Outdone

[Mystic]

Read it and weep: three episodes into their second season, the cast of Glee have smashed one of the Beatles' most enduring musical records.

Glee whiz.

All things must pass I guess.

..and continue to swirl down the bowl..

 

[spartanmanor]

it's easier to sell drivel these days what with the internet and all....

 

[similost]

Gotta remember too that the Beatles were considered drivel and the anti-christ by the older generation too..

A lot of their music was as deep as bubble gum but then again they did some pretty amazing stuff during their career.

I;m 18 and I think that Glee is worthless drivel.

I've heard the "music"and it sucks. Plus they use auto-tune wayyy too much.

 

[similost]

Oh yeah.. You know my liking for the Beatles so I won't argue that..

But Glee is for the older generation. My wife went to high school with the guy who came up with the show. She graduated in 1983. The show is a huge exaggeration of characters that were around back then at the school.

I guess I just never 'got' the Beatles, but I still respect them for being just that popular, and a TV show about a fictional glee club putting more hits on the chart does not speak well, in my mind, for my generation.

What is there to weep about? The Beatles were just another Rock band. They are as fair game for a cover song, as anyone else.

...but then again they did some pretty amazing stuff during their career.

...and were the creators of the vast majority of their ouvre, and possibly all of the "singles" cited. The Kids From Glee's "singles" are all covers. Even Britney Spears has written a song or two.

Glee is retarded. Even the young people I know think it's retarded. I'm not sad the Beatle record was broken, I'm sad that crap like this passes for entertainment. Things will have to devolve pretty seriously for us to look back at this crap with nostalgic feelings 20 years from now. Maybe today just isn't my day. I have no stomach for anything, no level of tolerance whatsoever. Bah humbug, indeed.

I can't see us getting nostalgic for most of the crap in the early 90s...

Oh my... Attempting to compare the Beatles to Glop, er Glee is nonsense. What are the chances that even one of these so called hits from this drivel called Glee will ever be heard 50 weeks from now much less 50 years from now as the Beatles music continues to play on and on?

You are my only consolation, and your Dr. Stanley quote is priceless, and from a priceless man of God. Rock on.:yes:

It will be long forgotten along with thousands of other pop songs on the radio today.

I'm with you here. My kids are way into Top 40 and will have nothing to do with "Glee."
