HubCap: Whoa. Did you just dis the Beatles?
Contributed by: Brendan Leonard/YourHub.com   on 7/12/2006

I don't mind the Beatles. They're one of those bands that made songs that I knew all the words to, if for no other reason thansome guy named Mike made my dad cassettes of all of their albums in 1984, and we listened to nothing else at home until approximately 1986.

But I never considered hating the Beatles, until I read Rob Guthrie's blog about how he hates them. Click here to read it. The Beatles? Come on, man. Saying the Beatles did something wrong is kind of like standing up in a church during Easter mass and second-guessing Jesus. "All right, number one, I would havefired Judas a long time ago..."

Rob wrote the blog, in which he makes fun of the lyrics to " Yellow Submarine," in response to our " My Least Favorite Band" contest. I think Rob might be the frontrunner so far for that $7 gift certificate to Cheapo Discs. He's a brave man. Taste is taste, you know, and if he wants to hate the Beatles, let him. He's from northeast Iowa, anyway, so I'm pretty confident he can handle himself. (Go Panthers!)

Rob's blog is what this contest is all about: Catharsis. Getting it out there. I imagine Rob's Beatles hate has been festering inside him for years now, and finally, he's gotten it out. Cheers to you, Rob, for having the courage to say what roughly 9,280 other people, according to this Google search, are also feeling.

If you need to get something as bad as a seething hatred for Boston off your chest, click here and start ranting. E-mail me at leonardb@yourhub.com when you're done.

You're breaking my heart Brandon. I suppose you'll bag on Journey next. What'd Boston ever do to you? Brendan ( wow I msut have been peeved, I called you Brandon) I was just busting your chops. I do a mean Brad Delp (lead singer, Boston) at Karaoke. All I need is two bricks and button fly 501's (speaking of the 80's).

Welcome to Fastball country. I feel like I should dislike them, but for some reason (girlfriend in high school), I don't.

Bill, I didn't mean to rip Boston. I just used them for an example, figuring that someone might have a problem with them... Travis and I have been talking about music quite a bit lately in preparation for his anti-Megadeth rant, and we've discovered that there's something that makes you like some bands that you otherwise might not. We call it "I was making out with girls listening to that band." This is why I don't hate Ace of Base. I don't like them or feel the need to listen to them, but if an Ace of Base song comes on the radio, and no one else is around, I roll up the windows and listen. Same thing with Sheryl Crow's first album, and a lot of other stuff from 1993 to 1996, for me, anyway.

Disciples can be fired? Or is it apostles?
