Ok, here's what I'm wondering. Who listened to The Beatles  while they were active?

I hear all these smart, intelligent, worldly grownups crapping on "teenage music" and while it's hardly my intention to compare Britney Spears to The Beatles, I can't really imagine that musically sophisticated 40+ year-olds were The Beatles' main audience in the 60's.

Were they?? All I ever saw was screaming fangirls.

My grandparents really did hate rock music. My grandpa was really hard on my aunt for liking it. He loved classical and big band music and didn't have much good to say about pop.

As to people not liking it because it was noisy. The TV broadcast wouldn't have had great sound quality. And if you went to a concert all you would likely hear was the screeming.

*nod* I have one grandmother who does hate it, but I think it's mostly for religious reasons, devil's music and such.
Shame about your aunt :(

That is true.
