I may not like listening to them, but you have to admit they started the mainstream acceptance of the rock movement. They certainly didn't "suck" they were quite good at what they did; I just never cared for them.
Um, it might be because i'm an iPod owner (and an apple fan), but I think the iPod and iTunes are getting sued way to much. First the french for not opening up iTunes songs so they can be played on any player , who cares? Then, Apple music suing Apple computers for use of the Apple name, What difference does it make? Now they're getting sued for some patent, even though every music player ever released infringes on it at leart partially... Poor apple...
They were okay. Abbey Road, The White Album, and Sgt. Pepper's better than the rest of their discography. I believe they had a tiny part in inspiring the progressive rock movement of the 70s. I don't really listen to them on a regular basis, but I respect some of their stuff.
Who needs another player with an i preceding its name?
What bothers me the most is how it keeps my music in order.
I miss the fingerprints too.

I use the shuffle 'cause it's one of the smallest players out there, and it doesn't have a screen to get scratvhed or anything. I wouldn't know about sound quality of anything 'cause I just listen to podcasts...
Anyway, iLike a lot of apple products. You people probably just don't like Mac OS X (Pronounced Mac OS 10, because Mac OS X sounds like Mac O Sex) becuase you've never used it for a long period of time and tried all of it's features. My mom has an Intel based 17in iMac and it's just awsome! And now with boot camp ... *starts drooling*
I don't like Mac OS X because it's incapable of running Multimedia Fusion, Modplug Tracker, the vast majority of retro DOS games, Paint.net, or indeed any program that I would want to run ever.
Eleanor Rigby, I am the Walrus and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Sure they made a lot of crap, but those three songs and others really stand out as great tracks. Yes they are overrated, so are Queen, The Clash and Jeff Buckley. Long live Kate Bush!
