Tommy Collison

Hi.. I’m Tommy, and I’ve got a problem. It’s me, not you.

I don’t like the Beatles.

No really, I’m not just going against the grain for the sake of it. They’re ok, but nothing sensational. I’m not one of those people who sat in their living room with the gramophone playing Yellow Submarine at the age of 12… I was in front of the iMac in John’s bedroom playing Blink 182.

Not that Blink 182 are sensational. Their drummer is something else though. Anyway, enough tangents.

I genuinely don’t get why people fawn over them. In my opinion, their songs were good – their singing? Not so much. Songs like When I’m 64 are quite good lyric wise, but their delivery style left something to be desired. What exactly? My fingers are itching to write ‘quality’ but I better not let them.

Oops, too late.

But that’s just my opinion – My kind of music involves crashing drums and killer guitar riffs (first 20 seconds), which, in my own opinion, is exactly what the Beatles need.

Am I alone? Am I a heathen who deserves to be burnt at the stake? Will I wake up tomorrow morning to a knock on the door from an angry mob wielding burning pitchforks and sharpened torches.

Wait, other way round, but same point.
