I don't get why it's a big deal. I've had their albums before I got iTunes. It's not hard to buy a cd and upload it?

Meh. I thought It was going to be something better. Like a monthly fee for itunes for unlimited downloads.

so before this, you couldn't buy Beatles songs on iTunes? Seems strange that you couldn't buy music from one of the most popular bands on iTunes

My inb4 still stands.

Good to know that McCartney is still willing to sacrifice the band's integrity to make a quick buck. It's not like the Beatles were going broke. I kind of thought that it was a GOOD thing having the Beatles be one of the few bands to stand against Steve Jobs' bullshit.

He stopped making good albums after Band on the Run, and that doesn't stop him from being a greedy jewsack. I would've praised him if he gave Jobs the finger until he stopped asking, but no. He needs more money. He's a money hungry bastard.

Still, Ram is one of my top 10 albums of all time.

ah well see i dont really listen to his (or any of their) post-beatles stuff

but yeah in all honesty i sort of wish he had held out (and as many have said, i obviously already have the entire discography on my ipod)

but to be fair he and the other beatles got fucked out of looooots of their money for the first like... 10 years

Seriously. Listen to his solo stuff. The first 3 albums are PHENOMENAL.

Yeah, I was expecting them to announce a revamped iTunes or something. That was weak!

Because they're masochists. What's that? WinAmp is better? Oh you so silly, newschoolers.

i was going to make a thread on this, but wanyways my thoughts.

i am suprised the beatles albums are just being released on itunes actually.  i expected to wait until paul died even. all i know is that it was a damn smart move because now their albums are going to top the charts again.... in 2010 and 2011. i think its pretty crazy actually.
