i dont have anything to say for or against emo as i dont recall having ever listened to any, which is for the best if its just whining, pathetic sympathy seeking crud. i will give it a go just to find out for myself though. if my opinions do make me part of a sepparate herd for hating the beatles then it must be a very small herd indeed, i have never heard anyone [other than the clash] speak ill of them. john lennon was nothing but a self publicist and he is, in my oppinion, the worst element of the beatles [bar ringos drumming] his solo career is less poppy, yet is somehow just as bad because of it. at least george harrison genuinley believed in what he was diong and had a real faith and humanity, the others [especially lennon] were just sellout cash whores.
