If it had tried to be, where's "When I'm Sixty-Four" or anything else from Sgt. Pepper's? Where's the larger part of Revolver or Rubber Soul? Why the emphasis on lesser songs from The Beatles (The White Album) and Magical Mystery Tour mixed along with a few early hits that don't even compare to The Beatles' best? The reason I was even interested in the movie was for the use of "Girl" at the beginning of the trailer. So I checked out the soundtrack. I understand your point about the marching band, but that's nonetheless irrelevant.

And it must have warped your brain into thinking cover acts matter, since you guys play standards. Sure, in some instances they can get big, and many cover bands make a good living. But "while still carving out their own niche in pop music history" ? Yeah right. I'm sure Pavarotti could sing better than Lennon, too, but saying some lame cover versions of Beatles songs are even worthy of being compared to the originals is ridiculous! Obviously you don't think of much of The Beatles, and I've seen Fresno State music professors profess the same sentiments. I think a watchdog committee needs to be formed to address this alarming trend.
