Don't get me wrong, I love rock and roll -- David Bowie is one of my favorite musicians of all time, as is Lenny Kravitz.
But I feel like I'm just missing something when it comes to the Beatles....they don't sound all that great to me.
Is this a cultural thing, like Elvis?

I don't know what to say to this.
I don't see how you could listen to Sgt. Pepper or The White Album or Hey Jude or With The Beatles or heck any of it and not 'get' it.
Especially if you like Lenny Kravitz. He is basically Beatles/Stones redux.
have you given it a chance?
