It was a different style of life with a smaller music genre to pick from. But nowadays we have a vast genre range to pick from and that is due to the beatles they are one of the bands if not the first to change the whole music scean for the world. They were the first band to write their own songs rather than have stuff shoved in front of them and told to sing.
The 60's had a vast range of different music styles, not all resulting from the Beatles. And large numbers of bands (I would say most) wrote their own material. Also, it is "Scene".
And im not saying the USA has not produced many great artists becasue they have it was more directed at Canada.
Yes, I am. And I'm completely serious. Despite their venerated status, the Beatles started out as the same teeny-bopper trash as any other pop sensation. It wasn't until they started to move away from that sound (and the drugs... oh man, the drugs) that they started to become something actually worth listening to
.
What a load of i guess when your country can only produce the likes of beiber and nickleback you would slander great musicians like the beetles.
Holy feth, at least try to spell their name correctly if you're going to defend them.... If you could learn to at least try punctuation, that would also be smashing.
And as other people have pointed out, Canada has produced some of the best artists in popular music history.

Untrue. The first couple of Beatles records contain a significant number of covers, the most notable of which is probably 'Twist and Shout' - also, the idea that they were the first band/artist to perform self-penned material is completely ludicrous. Artists have been doing that in popular music since the turn of the last century at the very latest.
No, the Beatles WERE different - the idea that they were just run-of-the-mill teen pop trash like everything else around at the time is, and apologies if this offends anyone, total rubbish. It was the way they played which was pretty much a bolt from the blue - their early stuff is incredibly raw by the standards of mainstream pop at the time. Feverish, almost. And the speed at which they progressed was totally insane - from Please Please Me to Revolver took 3 years. 3 years to completely change pop music forever. Both Lennon and McCartney were bona fide geniuses, of that there can be no doubt. They wrote over 200 songs before getting a record deal - that's incredibly prolific. It's more than many artists ever manage in their entire careers.
By all means, defend the Beatles - their music ranks amongst mankind's finest achievements. But do it for the right reasons, and in the right way.

For the record, I am a Wings fan. I quite like McCartney and Harrison. There are a lot of good Beatles songs, but the overwhelming majority, I find, come from later in their career rather than earlier.
Well that's obvious. I never said they weren't a good band. I just said I'm not fond of their early work.
Just like, despite the fact that I'm an obsessive Bowie fan, I don't care for anything between Let's Dance and Black Tie White Noise (which is underrated). Although to be fair, most of his albums during that period just weren't any good to begin with.
And there's tonnes of great music coming out today. You just gotta look beneath the layer of crap. It's always been like that.
(yes, I know)
Not to mention that there are a tonne of older musicians who are still producing great music today (Bowie's most recent album, Reality, released in 2003 is easily comparable with Scary Monsters in terms of quality, Morrissey's 2009 album, Years of Refusal ranks up with some of his best work, and Iggy Pop's 2009 Les Preliminares is a great, albeit very different sound for the artist).

Haters gonna Hate. Good clean music that makes my little girl dance is a win in my book. And the chick isn't dressed like a super hooker. "Everything sucks but the music I like" gets old.
And whilst you're pointing and shouting at the boogeyman in the corner, you're missing the burglar coming in through the window.
Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole
But Justin Beiber is a plauge that is infesting the world and needs to be stopped. Please tell me i am not the only one whos ears bleed when they hear him.
+1 to that. DEATH TO BIEBER!

BIEBER has more money and women than all of us combined, maybe more talent too. His songs may be shallow but his voice is good. Now Ke$ha can't sing, neither can brittney

The only Ke$ha lyric that I know, which always jumps out at me, is the bit about kicking dudes to the curb "unless they look like Mick Jagger". Which is so dumb it's comical.
A) Mick Jagger is gorram old and ugly.
B) Even when he was young and a sex object (many years before she was born), he was still ugly; women wanted to be with the lead singer for the Stones, not with a dude who looked like that.
C) In light of the above two facts, it makes it look like Ke$ha has no idea who Mick Jagger is or what he looks like.
Bieber, at least, is a talented kid. He might turn out to write/perform some good music later.

That could be the worst song Ive ever heard and most of the other music videos posted here are absolutely terrible from the weird techno to the dude bro music. Rock and Roll still exists you don't have to settle with trying to extend your reach into a whole new era of electronics and talking over a 2 chord song. This stuff is not talent it is simply an example of how deaf the world is to music for even thinking of promoting this blasphemous crap. When all else fails go back to what you know; Bob D, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Sabbath, ELO, Bob Marley, listen to the music and study it, they are pieces of art like the Mona Lisa, Starry night etc. You cant just take a quick glance and say "Yep its good, keep on movin." There are true feelings and messages inside of all good art, and to have a good piece of art you need everything to flow together smoothly and with precision. Listen to any Pink Floyd song and try to separate the instruments, then figure out where your mind goes from there.
This is my chaos painting post please give me critic!

So does punctuation. And you're really not telling anyone here anything they don't already know, you just think you are.
Horrendous. However, I would like to point out that today is Friday (at least here in the UK anyway), and that we so excited. Also, Saturday follows Friday.
A rather fiendish marketing strategy, and the reason I haven't viewed the video yet...
Being famous for being excruciatingly awful, she gets zillions of hits and a rather handsome amount of ad revenue. The effects of being famous for being really, really good are comparable, though it seems to be easier to get someone to look at something if you tell them it's hilariously bad, than if you tell them it's good. An interesting quirk of human psychology.

Maybe you hang out with immature women. Maybe you're attracted to immature women because you think they'll let you shpadoink them. 
i guess when your country can only produce the likes of beiber and nickleback you would slander great musicians like the beetles.
