No.

Believe me, I've tried..
I've tried sober, I've tried stoned, I've tried drunk, I've tried in bed, I've tried in the car, I've tried alone with headphones, i've tried in Cleveland at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...etc
I just can't do it.
I hear ya man, I'm not here to judge. Totally understand that with a band like Pink Floyd.

All that being said, saying "Pink Floyd Sucks" would be dumb on my part.

If you think you do not like the Beatles you've got something wrong with you. Due to the fact they are so ingrained on the global popular consciousness some people are inclined to turn their backs and denounce their music as 'simplistic' or 'out of date'. I like all the challenging, esoteric trendy bands as much as the next hipster but how on earth can anyone put on, say, Abbey Road and say it is rubbish? I know I sound repulsively condescending and sanctimonous (quelle change) but if you don't like the Beatles you clearly haven't listened to them.
Don't let this scare you, but you're exactly right.

Have you listened to early Syd Barrett-era Floyd?
Back on topic...holy fuck no. The Beatles are great. Early stuff is simplistic, don't think many people would even try to argue that one. But Revolver, Sgt. Peppers and Abbey Road are the farthest (furthest?) thing from simplistic. Especially for the time period.

I don't like Nirvana. I think they're poo.

Agreed here, is anyone going to dispute that? I don't think Zack or Dupin is denying their cultural impact, if they did that would be wrong. For whatever they just don't like their music. Unlike some others here, I can respect that even if I don't reach the same conclusion.

Exactly.
I'm not a fan of Pink floyd, it's just not my thing. But I get it, i would never say they "suck".
To each his own.

Not disputing that at all. Just can't stand the music. I think it's mostly the extremely simplistic nature of the music for me. And, as a drummer myself, I can't listen to Ringo. He's one of the most basic, boring drummers I've ever listened to. Most high school percussionists could play everything that Ringo ever played. Also can't listen to any of them try to sing. Grates on my nerves.
Were they revolutionary? Of course. But I can't listen to music just because it is/was revolutionary. I have to actually enjoy it, and I can't enjoy any of the Beatles' music without earplugs in.
But I won't list my list of "classic" artists I can't stand. It might break the message board.

Come on man, on the 20th anniversary of Cobain's death? This is what's wrong with Beatles fans. They're the one band that seems insulated from dislike and criticism. Being simplistic and out of date has nothing to do with my disdain for the Beatles. Most of my musical tastes trend older, and plenty of simplistic music can be great. I don't like their music because I don't think it's good. It's not from lack of trying, I've listened to them extensively. I don't like their sound and I don't like their lyrics, and there's nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't deny their cultural impact, but I still find that impact to be illogical. Nothing they did merits the kind of zealotry that accompanies any attack on the quartet's sacredness.

The Beatles were the Justin Bieber of 60's, I don't know how they became such a cultural phenomenon. I can't think of a single Beatles song that's good. Tool is vastly superior in every way.
There are maybe 3 U2 songs I like, but outside of that I'm not a fan of them. The whole Bono being a pretentious douche thing doesn't help.
Where is the 'Unlike' button....

I'll give early Floyd another chance, but I don't see much hope.
Oh, and I Love Fleetwood Mac.

I like a few Pink Floyd songs. They're a weird band though, I wouldn't consider myself a fan. Prolly should, considering this started with The Beatles AND U2 sucks, and then somehow Tool and Pink Floyd got into the mix. There are plenty of crappy bands that have inserted themselves into the annals of pop culture, like Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, and Pearl Jam.

The Beatles have a lot of bubble gum pop songs (that I love), but they also have plenty of deep stuff.
