Is anyone here a fan of them?
I've been a huge fan of the Beatles since 2000. They're one of the few bands I can think of that I can listen to over and over without ever getting tired. With three singers (I'm not counting Ringo because Ringo's singing is terrible) and a constantly changing music style, none of their songs sound the same. Because of their changing style, I can't really point to any one period of their music to say it's my favorite; I like all their styles for different reasons. (I suppose if someone held a gun up to my head and insisted I choose an album or two, I would go with Let it Be and Rubber Soul, though.)
I also rather like their solo work. I don't think Paul or John were as good solo, but they're still pretty decent, assuming, God forbid, Yoko Ono is not involved. George Harrison's solo work, on the other hand, is amazing. I really wish he had been given more of a spotlight in the Beatles; he's absolutely just as talented as the other two.

I'm not much of a fan of the Beatles, but I like listening to some of their tracks (like "Yesterday" and "I wanna hold your hand") from time to time.

I haven't listened to that many songs by the Beatles, though the music doesn't stand out to me that much. I suppose it's because I'm not as driven by lyrics as others are, and I know the lyrical side is what the Beatles are good at. It may also be the actual musicality but idk.
As far as classic rock goes, I listen more to the progressive rock side of the spectrum.

Yeah, that's understandable. Lyrics are a pretty big part of the Beatles. Other than the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Billy Joel, Queen, and the Who, I don't listen to lyrics, but they're just that good. Though, to be fair, the music part is pretty important, too; the Beatles aren't hailed for revolutionizing rock for nothing.

I'm a huge Beatles fan. I was mesmerized when I first heard their music on the radio. They're my favorite band. Everything from lyrics to melodies. . .
I think I'm going to listen to some of their stuff right now. *turns on abbey road medley*
