I cannot understand this for the life of me, but when did the Jonas Brothers become synonomous with the talent of The Beatles? There is a big difference that seems to be ignored, The Beatles were actually musicians with ACTUAL talent.
On one side, we have a Disney fabricated band with no talent, and on the other, well...we have The Beatles, one of the greatest bands that have ever been. The Beatles delivered the voice of a generation, and there has never been, nor will there be another band that is as big. The Beatles still inspire countless people with their words, lyrics, and actions. No artist has ever had the clout that John Lennon obtained, even though Bono tries dearly, funny stuff. No band has had more of their songs covered. But I digress.
The Beatles were able to cross multiple genres, The White Album, and revolutionize the album process, see Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles Catalog is now estimated to be worth over a billion dollars. There is no way that the Jonas Brothers will ever reach that number.
Didn't Oasis say they were bigger than The Beatles? Oh and Weezer? Both were successful bands to some extent, but no where near The Beatles. The only band in my opinion that is on the same level as The Beatles is The Rolling Stones. If my iPod consisted of only The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream, and Eric Clapton, I'd probably be okay with that.
That was my rant. Music industry, please get some real talent. No more Kanye, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Lil Wayne, Brittany Spears, Flo Rida, or Green Day. Get back to:
- Led Zeppelin
- Cream
- CCR
- Rush
- Queen
- The Police
- The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
- Deep Purple
- The Clash
- The Who
- The Allman Brothers Band
- Johnny Cash and more
Don't get me wrong, there are some incredible bands these days, those being Death Cab For Cutie, JET, Jack Johnson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sam Roberts, and The Strokes are some excellent examples. However, only once the Jonas Brothers start to influence a nation/ the world with their actions and beliefs, they will never come close to The Beatles.
Yours truly,
