Question:

Are The Beatles too much overvalued by the media?

Individually I always prefer Led Zep & DP as my fave groups.

1. (Deep Purple Boss - Keyboarder) Jon Lord said in his interview 1974: I like Beatles, but one canⴴ get always a great bright future career for 100 years, not even Elvis nor Lennon-Mc Cartney.
2. (Led Zep Boss - Guitarist) Jimmy Page said in his interview 1970: Beatles were great, but we are not the same band like them, our music is not very influenced from them. We are more concentrated in a Heavy Trashed Rock N Roll, a Blues tradition and a celtic folk elements, what Beatles had never got into them so much. In Fact, Iⴤ taken my picture together along Mr. Lord & Mr. Page together. Iam proud to be a DP & Led Zep fan.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I personally think The Beatles are WAY overvalued. However, if you grew up in that era you are more likely to think they are great. You tend to remember music from your growing up period more fondly than anything else. Ask people in their 60's what they think of The Beatles...
