is it Really Not OK to Not Know who Paul McCarteny Is???

[mangudai954]

Ok so we established who he is, for people who want to get into his music or get a feel for his sound what should one listen to?

 

[robpzee612]

...i dont quite remember how i came upon those artists i listed, but when i did i liked it and looked for more. i sure didnt discount it or mock it by calling it 'my grandfathers music' while moving on to something new, thats for sure.
 
 

For every name you list, I can show you a longer list of artists you've NEVER heard of and ask why you don't know them. 

   
 
*sigh*
 
 
.....you probably could. the difference between me and them though?
 
 
 
....the difference is if you showed me that list, my response would NEVER be:
 
 
"who? aw man thats @%$@ is old who cares?"
 
or
 
"that came out before i was born, it aint got @%$@ on this new stuff im listening to...."
 
or
 
"how am i supposed to know about artists that came out before i was born?"
 
 
 
NEVER in a million years.
 
i'd keep my mouth shut until i looked into said artist for myself and thanked whoever put me on......
 
....if you were reading you'd see that ive pointed this difference out twice already.
 
 
 
.....yeah, and this is coming from the same guy that said

...yeah bruh, you kinda suck at this music thing. maybe you should stick to religious threads?
 

Bruh, I first of all I was referring to the stuff Storch did OUTSIDE of the Roots. 
Second of all, if a teenager doesn't care or want to know who Paul McCartney is...SHE HAS THAT RIGHT.

You can't FORCE someone to respect the past like that. She doesn't HAVE to if she doesn't want to. 

What good for the geese isn't good for the gander.

If I hear some music in the past that I don't like, I don't HAVE to like it just because its old. I don't care like that bruh. 

I happen to like old jazz music...but that doesn't mean 14 year old Becky HAS to love it. What don't you understand about that?

If she wants to take a dump on it, she has that RIGHT to do so.

Dude...why are you so mad?



No one HAS to appreciate the past. If she doesn't want to learn about old music, thats her prerogative.




Thats it. 




A willingness to learn is NOT the same as learning about music your dad used to listen to.




No one is OBLIGATED to do that...and on top of that you need to chill out.




How do I suck at this...you're mad that no one cares who Paul McCartney is...thats no one's fault or responsibility. Thats it. End of story. 




It would be NICE if people paid attention to it...but its not a mandate...and no one HAS to do a double take at something they've never heard of.




You recognize this...but you're STILL mad about it. Let it go bruh. 




I will not be mad if Diggy Simmons never listened to ATCQ or Rakim...Why should I? Dude is doing his damn thing with or without them. It is what it is.




It would be NICE...but oh well. 




I don't understand why dudes even curse on NT ...its not like it goes through the spam filter.

Paul M alone is not a "music god"
You refuse to realize that its the beetles that are known at large, lets keep it real and ask everyone here to name a only Paul M song.

No beatles, no MJ, NO stevie wonder.

Off my head I can only think of two. "maybe Im amazed" and his" Have a merry christmas"

I dont think anyone one is a music god

He was roughly 50% of the creative force behind the best and most well-respected band of all time.
He may not be a "god," but he is an icon/legend/hall of famer/visionary.

sillputty, do you spend all day on nt? i swear every single thread i check you've added your two cents

 

[maicolkickhead]

I didn't know who Paul was either. Yea heard his name here and there but never cared.
Never was a Beetles fan but i'm somehow expected to know the names of all the members 

.

I guess my opinion on music isn't valid on Niketalk, how disappointing. 

 

[deleted]

Honestly, I'm still wondering why that guy asked me if I was a caucasoid.

 

[shoesonmyfeet]

My roomate read the thread and told me to ask you.

Come on man. You're just showing your ignorance.
Not knowing who Paul McCartney is like not knowing who James Brown, Bob Dylan or The Rolling Stones are. 

 

[bamez]

So does anyone know the names of anyone in Queen?

Who IMO are >> The Beatles.

YES! Don't do that. Queen is amazing.

Who could not know about Freddie Mercury or Brian May?  

"Mama... oooooh-ohhhhh" gives me goosebumps every time

What I wouldn't do to have gone to a Queen concert.

I am perplexed by the defense of this. The intellectually curious Google or Wikipedia something and are immediately rewarded with an answer. “Who is that dead guy, and why is he all over TV and the front pages of newspapers blogs?â€

 

[solarius49]

The only one who has an excuse is Rusty Shackleford because hes like 8

 

[shoefreakbaby]

The beach boys>>>>>> Beatles 
The worship in this thread

 

[rashi]

A lot of people didn't know who Paul was on the Grammy's. 

Freddie Mercury is the best vocalist of all time, period. Come at me.
