Why are the Beatles considered holy?

Answer 1

Because they had huge, spendid talent, both in music and in lyrics for that music --

and the themes were love and work and having enough money and daydreaming and still being loved at age 64. They were superbly competent at direct, universal themes.

Go to church on Sunday and listen to those godawful minor key German hymns. Try to sing along and you'll find that you can't keep it up, you hold the hymnal and pretend that you're singing when actually you're appalled at the spiritlessness of this arrogant trash!

"Let It Be," "Across the Universe," "Here Comes the Sun" and "The Long and Winding Road" (all from their last album together) are better --spiritually --as church music -- aren't they?

That's what's holy about them. Their shrewdness about business, their spats, and their mutual jealousies weren't so saintly, though, you know.

Answer 2

ok kids, lets trip here: The Beatles came out up against the "bad boys" of R&R-The Rolling Stones. They were clean-cut, organized, uniform and had a more hip sound, thus they were considered the "clean boys" of R&R.

It only started there. They were immensley popular in Britin: they were mass-marketed beyond nyones' wildest dreams and at a time when R&R was fading somewhat. Then came England's newest quad-The Beatles. They were shkers and movers for their time, sold ou everywhere they went, every station played their music or more importantly, EVERY station talked about them, both good and bad.....And everyone knows bad publicity is better than good....

America was stagnate w/the war in Vietnam, we experienced protestors and it was all new for us: we were changing, and rapidly,,,,,now again, add a dose of the newest craze-the Beatles.

TThey had great music for the time but more importantly, they came along at the right time,,,,,and marketing is 75% of selling....Elvis, Jerry Lee, Cash, Waylon and the like were fizing out too.

All in all, they were truly a great great group, so well, members of their band went on for the next 45 years to make and record music,,,,but Holy, no way. They never said that. What was said was no other group ws holier than "thou" (them)----they were right, at the time anyway.

Answer 3

Holy means "set apart." It's usually only referred to religious terms. I've never heard The Beatles considered holy though.

Answer 4

What? Holy? That's a first, never heard them as being considered holy. They had one song I remember that could be thought of as spiritual..."Let it be" but it doesn't make them holy.
Good and popular with music for the ages, Yes.
Holy...hum I don't thing so.

Answer 5

I don't know about them being holy, but when John Lennon said they were more popular than Jesus, I think he was right. They also did a lot of spiritual seeking for a while there. They were probably more spiritual than any other mega-band ever.

Answer 6

They changed rock & roll from just being a teenage rebel thing into a form of art. Just listen to Sgt. Pepper, its art and the first of it's kind.


Elvis, Chuck berry etc. all made art with their music, but they didn't change rock & roll into art in the view of the general public.

Answer 7

Well for one, John Lennon was noted for saying they were "more popular than Jesus." But they were way beyond their time with the music they made.

Answer 8

They are????? they are the biggest thing that ever happened in music but they definitely aren't holy.

Answer 9

because they were blessed by some bedoin that tryed to climb on paul's wife?

also there was a controversial observational statement of fact by John Lennon that was simply "We are more popular than Jesus".

Answer 10
