I don't think my avatar is that bad. I don't know, it might be. I have gotten used to it.

Actually, it's not really in a hypnotic way. It's more of a "so awesomely awesome that you can't look away".

Well, before this thread turned into a conversation that is reminiscent of a playground at recess, it was interesting to see the varying opinions.
Except for a couple of you, most are like me – not sure whether it's better to be here or be there (can't be everywhere).
Thanks to all for playing along.

Actually if I could choose one day to go back… I'd love to be in that Apple rooftop concert….

Amen, mithveaen. I'd pick that day, or the day they met Bob Dylan, or the day they found out they had their first number one in the U.S., or the day…
Sounds like fodder for another thread…

You know, that's the second time my username has been pointed out to be at odds with what I said. I really need to change it, ahaha.
Haha, glad you took my remark (on the "DRUGS!" thread) with the good humour intended!

I would like to be back then, because then I wouldn't stick out for being a Beatles Fan at school

It would have been really cool to see the history unfold as a teen in the 60s, but it was also quite cool to discover everything for the first time when the 20th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper rolled around. I have my own set of memories related to that.The way I think of them, if I had the opportunity to go back in time and care about them as much as I do now, Dec. 8, 1980 really would have shattered my heart. It was sad enough when George passed.
The internet has made it easier to find other Beatles fans (when I first started to like them, everyone I knew was into hair metal or MC Hammer. It was a bit lonely. 
) which is great. YouTube is great. In a way, it's better to like a 60s band now because you have all this media available to you so you can watch clips when you want to, or rewatch them a million times. I thought I had seen all there was to see of them, and then a few weeks ago, I saw their production of a scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream, and that just made me fall in love with them all over again.
I know I'm rambling, and this is my first post, too.
The main thing is I don't feel I have missed out on anything, but I'd give a lot to see them as they happened, if I could compare and contrast what I think of them now to the opinions I'd be forming along the way. If that makes sense.

Welcome to the forum, StarWisher!
Yeah, the internet truly is a gift for those who weren't actually there.

I would definitely have liked the 60s better than today. Firstly, all
of my favorite musicians were releasing new material and performing in
concert. Seeing the Beatles live would have been absolutely fantastic! I
definitely like their later (Revolver and forward) work better than
their earlier stuff, so watching them evolve and waiting to hear their
latest innovations would have been very exciting and interesting.
Secondly, the whole spirit of the sixties is fascinating to me.
Everyone was very socially aware, and there was this whole attitude that
if enough people got together, anything was possible. There was also a lot of freedom.
Finally, I would have probably been a part of the underground
music scene in New York. And if my friends were back in the 60s as well,
that would've been perfect.

I believe was I born in the wrong decade. God must have just forgotten to turn the 9s in "1996" upside down. I envy all people who were there during Beatlemania! I can only hear stories about Beatlemania from my grandmother.
If I had no relative who wasn't there during Beatlemania or couldn't live to tell me some Beatle-stories, I think I would probably cry.
Surely not all the 9s….
EDIT: I think it would have been pretty cool to be 15 in 1966, when Revolver came out. But I'd also have to follow all the insane hair fashions! (I know about these insane fashions because I had to do my hair four inches above my head for my school musical.)

That's not hard, though. All you need is some…
ULTRA CLUTCH HAIRSPRAY™! The only thing better than that is Corny Collins.

He's Corny Collins!
I just thought of another thing. I'd rather be here, because in the '60s, the Beatles were the "in" thing, so to like the Beatles would be to jump on the bandwagon. I'd rather like the Beatles when they're not as popular, because then I can't be accused of following the crowd. Also, I can compare the Beatles with bands who came later, and realize how amazing the Beatles truly were.
