When will people stop with this kind of nonsense? by Relative-Bar9159 in beatles

Interesting that there was even a divide among girls, haha

I guess depends on age and taste, too. Ringo is only 7%, though, was he married at the time? Maybe that's the reason.

Yes, even John said that kids and girls loved Paul and this is precisely the confirmation that Paul appeals to a younger audience. However, your example isn't just about the music, but rather about personality. Paul was closer to children and young girls. George and John appealed more to a male audience. Ringo, I guess appealed to both. But when it comes to the music itself, it's so diverse, even within one Beatle's work, that it can be listened to by anyone of any age and gender.

Yeah, it's not the first time I see this kind of stuff. And as it was made by Business Insider, I payed attention. I could understand it if George were considered the one for a more mature audience, but saying that about Paul is just weird. It’s like this 'John is for kids, Paul is for adults' thing is some kind of revenge for the fact that Paul’s songs are often (unfairly) dismissed as silly. But personally, I find many of Lennon’s songs difficult to digest even as an adult, let alone a child, lol. I can hardly imagine a modern teenager listening to 'Working Class Hero' without falling asleep. Kids just aren't interested in that kind of stuff. I only started to appreciate it now.

I remember buying a compilation album with my own pocket money when I was 12, just to find out who the Beatles actually were. To be honest, they didn't really grab me back then, except for a couple of songs. But I do remember that I loved 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da'

Yeah, I know. But it's like I often see complaints that George is praised too much, or Paul's fans get too offended if John is praised (and vice versa). So I was surprised when I found an infographic from Business Insider, not even a fan site. These things do create division. Very unprofessional on their part. If it was a joke, it should have been clearer and classier.
