have we failed to see the beatles fade away? ive just been noticing lately that the beatles have grown distant of our first choice music, while finding it completely understandable to yearn for variety i just see it becoming an excuse to listen to our pennywise album rather our beatles when faced with the decision and telling our selves its ok....in which case it is, i guess, i just wanted for all of us to remember that the beatles (as frequent it seems they may be) will fade away someday but it is our will to make sure that doesnt happen	plaidstripes

BEATLES NEVER FADE AWAY:)	lovesleemichaelstx
the beatles, are the foundation of many bands today.	sociallydisturbed69
The beatles will never fade away. they are one of the greatest bands of all time. they will fade away along with humanity. i for one still listen to them at least twice a week. i think any artist can seem to fade away at some time or another, but i think it's a more personal thing. but ok beatles dont get much press these days, but neither do pink floyd, neil young, the clash, david bowie etc etc. so in conclusion im afraid i cant find much meaning in your topic. ;)	new_rose
