    That’s a reasonable opinion, and I honestly don’t know how to determine why I like the songs I like, nor do I feel qualified to identify a good beat (I was in the percussion section of my middle school band class for three years, but I’m a special case of nonmusicality, and nothing sank in), but there are a couple of Beatles songs with strong beats that occur to me. Maybe Love to You or Eight Days a Week, though the former is a more driving beat, imo.

    Definitely don’t feel obligated to listen to music you don’t like, though please. I’m not a huge fan of the Beatles, I just grew up on them and find many of their songs enjoyable (if you ask me, Octopus Garden should be erased from our collective memory, though).

      I was one of those kids who didn’t play an instrument (other than piano lessons I hated), but absolutely knew what instrument I’d play if I was in a band. And it was the drums. Well, a couple months ago I got some drums of My very own and started learning. And a few weeks ago I played My first open mic and rocked the whole house. And a friend was talking about it days later. All I played was a beginner rock beat and fill, but I guess I’ve got a lot of rock.

      And I don’t think the Beatles have any rock.
