That's one opinion. Another is that people who liked them in the 1960s might still like them today, as with people who heard them in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, noughties, and, well, today for the first time. Because they're that good, and that popular.
Got a tip for us?

I think a mobile iTunes store is a real possibility in the months to come, after the iPhone wave has ended, why wouldn't Apple want to sell music direct download to your iPhone on the move?
Oh and come on, using the last 4 words spoken in the last ever Beatles conference...That's not just a funny play on words. They are coming!
John would be LHAO
as a student of the Beatles and of Apple Computer...
If the re-masters are DONE...then they will go on ITUNES...I don't think they are done. BUT they might be before XMAS.
The Beatles ALWAYS had a new album right before XMAS...usually early NOVEMBER, Capitol certainly followed this trend after the breakup. XMAS moves product.
Steve Jobs LOVES the BEATLES. Getting the LAW suit out of the way is a HUGE thing to him. Paul and Ringo will be on stage with him when the songs come to ITUNES if he can have it his way. Paul and Ringo being on Larry King make me think they might appear for Apple, especially for $$$.
What Gils and George did with LOVE was simply AMAZING even not in 5.1. Abbey Road re-mastered will be a highlight.
and finally to this poor soul who said this
I believe it was Chundle, and I hope you were being sarcastic..)
Well, this is just sad for you. The record companies(and corporate America) have convinced Americans and the world that if it is NOT new then it must not be good.
BORN in '64, graduated in '82 and much richer for listening to:
Crosby--as in "Brother Can you Spare a Dime"
Goodwin--as in Sing, Sing, Sing..live..with apologies to Louis Prima
SINATRA--if you've ever been dumped, or if you've ever got laid
MOZART-duh
THE CLASH in 1979!!! This is RADIO CLASH...LONDON CALLING.
OH, CHUCK "the FATHER" BERRY.
OK, this could go on all night, but the B-SIDE(remember those) of ABBEY ROAD is timeless as anything...it makes you wonder when your 15, makes you cry when you are 30, makes you smile when you are 45...carry the weight.
99% of the pop music that is release each year is CRAP, it is the 1% that stands the test of time. RANT over.

Is there anything the music industry can do legally against Apple to prevent us from making customized ringtones using existing songs?
They're our songs for one, even if we only utilize 30 or less seconds of them. Some phones let you record your own voice or any other sounds you'd like to hear when receiving a call or message using the phone's mic which is the same end result as customizing your own in the way people would like to have for their iphones.
I don't see why Apple shouldn't take this step. They can always argue it's a computer more than a phone.
I prefer vibrate anyways but this would change that. I'd have to have an iphone as well though...

Most likely if they wanted too, but there are phones that let you use Mp3s are ringtones, this isn't much differemt
What a great source,.. they have a beatles section and a power rangers section.. now i believe it.
Don't tease me..
I think a more telling sign was the recent addition of 'transfer purchases to this computer'. Thats basically the back end work for syncing back tracks bought on an iPod/iPhone to iTunes I think.
I'm not sure about the "No Beatles" announcement, as while I was just coming home from work listening to Radio 1, it was mentioned that Sir Paul was going to be on Radio 1 next wednesday 5th Sept with an announcement..
This is all very interesting now.. lots of announcements on the 5th - all related? who knows?
hmm....
comments please

Ha...maybe Paul is planning on finally revealing his true identity...Billy Shears. The evidence is overwhelming, he just needs to tell the world the whole story before he has a grabber or some unfortunate accident...like the man he is living his life as.
