.......... Have the biggest pre ordered track in history, before anyone's even heard the song? It's so retarded that it's not about music it's about the pretty face that's selling it

Yes, because the Beatles were all ugly as sin.

The last 50 years seem to have passe you by if you think this is anything new. Stock, Aitken and Waterman made their trade from pretty faces overproduced to hide their lack of talent and that's more or less been the blueprint for the last 30 years.

You might as well be complaining that cars don't come with the pretty women that lay on top of them at car shows. The window dressing has long surpassed the quality of the product or the ethical roots it should spring from otherwise people would be more upset their shiny gadgets are made by overworked Chinese factory workers and their cheap clothes are made by kids losing their fingers on industrial production lines. But they don't and we enjoy our luxurious lifestyles where we can actually moan about such trivial things as 1 Direction like it really matters in relative comfort, only acting shocked when Panorama or Horizons reminds of what we already know but regularly ignore for our own comfort and sanity. Don't pay attention to the men behind the curtains and their machines, it's much easier that way. Just be glad you have the privilege of finding fault about such trivial things to begin with.

If 1D eventually go on to make some of the most innovative pop music ever, I guess that comparison stands.

The Beatles ripped off American blues and rock and roll musicians to begin with. Twist and Shout was originally Shake It Up Baby by The Top Notes. Baby It's You was Burt Bacharach. Let's not pretend they were prodigious original talents to begin with, they didn't even have 12 songs for their first album.

And besides that's missing the point to be sarcastic. Girls didn't run down the street screaming for them because they all fell out the ugly tree.

Both groups are over rated and the fans of both are either stuck in the past or under 13.

sex sells not music

But they did the same for the Rolling Stones, They never were really good looking were they.

Anyway in 10 years 1D will have been forgotten with all the 23/26 year olds that they liked them.

While The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen et all will still be being listened to when they are "discovered" by the 20 somethings.

Suggesting the Beatles were a initially a glorified boyband is nothing new (though not entirely accurate given their pre-fame career in Hamburg) but they're also remembered for what they went on to do after getting bored with such an image.

I was merely responding in kind to your sarcasm by suggesting One Direction could ever hope to mimic The Beatles' musical growth from the mid-60s onwards.

It is quite disgusting considering that none of them can actually sing a note.

Fairly sure they collectively can... The whole point was they were 5 boys that weren't strong enough as solo artists, but could harmonise together into a boyband.

The music industry only survives on a certain amount of finance though.If a certain % of that is directed at promoting taking advantage of 'homonal' teenage girls then less will be directed towards more credible music though.What bothers me more than anything is that 'the western media' generally over emphasises the airtime / printing space / web space it gives to such a minority audience.It seems to be 'over' pushed onto the general public from time to time & then goes into decline for a period due to a public backlash against it.Teen / tweeny pop does seem to be a cyclical phenomenon, more than a continuous one.

If t(w)een(y) pop was seperated out from 'the general media' I wouldn't have a problem with it - it seems to get far too much 'mass media' coverage though, mainly due to the fact that an easier profit can be extracted from it, until the public backlash against it gets too big, of course (people get fed up with it - stop watching, purchasing print media etc. that over emphasises it).It's very difficult to just ignore mass media.

Ringo Star was hideous.

Good drummer though, even though his son's better.

I like Ringo, honestly!

To be honest does it mean much? It's only a matter of time before somebody else releases a song and it overtakes their record

^ Someones fallen foul of the Louis Walsh/Simon Cowell "The Beatles were just a boyband propaganda.

Firstly, Twist & Shout was a cover of The Isley Brothers 1962 USA#17 & US R&B#2 hit; Baby It's You was a cover of The Shirelles 1961 USA#8 US R&B#3 hit. Hence they were not ripoffs.

Secondly, the 14 track debut album "Please Please Me" from where those two Beatles recordings come from was recorded on Monday, 11 February 1963 in just 9 hours and 45 minutes by the band produced by George Martin. Hence they did not have time to flesh out/polish/finish many of the Lennon/McCartney written songs at that point in time. Plus as it was their debut album EMI insisted half the album was covers of US hit singles (as it was The Beatles forced 8 out of the 14 tracks to be Lennon/McCartney songs, although a 9th (Hold Me Tight) was left off the album and re-recorded for the follow up album "With The Beatles".

Thirdly, Lennon & McCartney were so prodigious original talents that many of their compositions were not (originally) recorded by The Beatles and were (firstly) released by other artists to become big hit singles in their first couple of years:

Rolling Stones: I Wanna Be Your Man UK #12
Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas: Bad To Me UK#1, "I'll Keep You Satisfied" UK#4, "From a Window" UK#10, "I'll Be on My Way", "I Call Your Name"
The Fourmost: "Hello Little Girl" UK#9, "I'm in Love" UK#17
Cilla Black: "It's for You" UK#7, "Love of the Loved" UK#35
Peter & Gordon: "A World Without Love" UK#1, "Nobody I Know" UK#10, "I Don't Want to See You Again"
The Applejacks: "Like Dreamers Do" UK#20
P.J. Proby: "That Means a Lot" UK#30

Then what completely sinks your nonsense below the surface is the fact if The Beatles were all about looks then they would not have replaced their heart-throb drummer Pete Best, for a far superior musician who was considerably less attractive Ringo Starr because once the Beatles landed their record contract they were able to hire the best drummer on Merseyside (voted best drummer in Merseybeat magazine 1960 & 1961) to their band from Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.

The Beatles were no Hermans Hermits; Monkees or Bay City Rollers relying on session musicians to record their tracks, they were the real deal; which is something that definitely can not be said of "Wank Erection" (the 2010s answer to Scowell's 2000s puppets "****$h!te").
