Could it be true? Is it possible? It seems that there is a new band from the U.K. The band is called the Arctic Monkeys and fans are saying that they are better than the Beatles. I have not heard of them, but I would like to hear their songs. I will always be a die-hard Beatle fan, so is it possible. Has anyone one ever heard of this new group? Please share. ;D

Think For Yourself - Yonder Mountain String Band 6. The Word - Mindy Smith 7. Michelle - Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals 8. What Goes On - Sufjan Stevens 9. Girl - Rhett Miller 10. I'm Looking Through You - Ted Leo 11. In My Life - Ben Lee 12. Wait - Ben Kweller (featuring Albert Hammond Jr.) 13. If I Needed Someone - Nellie McKay 14. Run For Your Life - Cowboy Junkies

I heard a song of theirs on the way in to work this morning. I sort of liked it but I can tell you that they do not resemble the Beatles in any way that I could tell. I think the comparison may be from the amout hype that they have received from the public.

I haven't heard them yet. I wonder if they play this group on XM because I don't listen to the regular radio anymore.

I like the remake too. I just find it hard to believe that any band can be better than the Beatles. The band that took Jazz, Swing, and early Rock and Roll and rolled all three into one sound. I still say to this day that the Beatles were the greatest band ever, they changed the style of music. Each LP is different and with each new one, you can hear the style of their music change and how they grew with each LP. What can I say, I'm a die-hard fan and will also be one. What is your favorite tune or album?
