The Beatles? Still relevant?

By SavvyAuntie , Sep 8 2009

The Beatles Rock Band comes out 09/09/09, and Yoko Ono just announced that the entire Beatles catalog will be available on iTunes that day as well!

Do you think our nieces and nephews will love The Beatles like we and our parents do? Is it still relevant music?

I, personally, have never been a Beatles fan. Call it rebellion from my Beatles-loving family if you will. However, I do think that the Beatles are still relevant today.

Considering that they have been the inspirational force behind a great deal of contemporary bands and musicians, and with modern takes on Beatles music from the Across the Universe movie to covers of their songs, I feel that they will be just as loved by our nieces and nephews as they have been by our peers (and, in some cases like my own, parents!)

I agree they weren't my generation but I love the Beatles! There is no way that their music can die. Also more and more kids are learning to play instruments (yay) and they understand the inspiration that the Beatles had upon music now days.

The Beatles' music was interwoven through my growing up years. I remember their Ed Sullivan appearance, and the first 45 I ever bought was Do You Want to Know a Secret?

Who would've guessed I'd find The Beatles listed among my 15 year old great-niece's favorite music on her Facebook page? I'm thrilled that, at least to her, their music is relevant and enduring.

I am 30 so clearly The Beatles were before my time but I am of the belief that they are timeless. Case in point, my 4 year old nephew loves to sing along to Paperback Writer.

They have a beatles rendition cd where all their songs are made into kid versions. It's so cute!

My aunt (she's my (Godmother as well) went to a Beatles concert as a teenager still loves them! I also think their songs are great. I wish I could get my nieces or nephew to like them. But the youngest (my nephew) is only a year. And my nieces have their own tastes in music. So I don't want to push it.
