@Kamyu03 Good that you have your own opinion.

But once again, even big british artists like Queen and Who know the importance of the Beatles.

[Kamyu03]

@msanm5 Not being ignorant and a poor american who believes the beatles were the best, well i yes for people like that, actually being smart and having musical taste and knowledge is something rare.

@Kamyu03 Lol. Kanyu calm down.

It´s easy to tell that you´re a little mad.

Good that you know the song.
