Talk:The Better Beatles

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because <the fact that the Better Beatles, on the basis of one single, grew enough of a following for there to be a market for them to release their full album 25 years after they broke-up is fairly notable. Has this ever happened with to other band? In addition, the "kill your idols" mentality behind the band makes them the quintessential example of punk and post-punk's attitude towards the music of the sixties. Lastly, they received attention from both critic Robert Christgau and DJ John Peel, two of the premier taste-makers of the period.>. &mdash; Hartwell86 (talk) 22:37, 3 November 2011 (UTC)


 * the 25 years thing is cool. Its only notable if someone noted it. Did that show up in any reliable news sources? Gaijin42 (talk) 22:41, 3 November 2011 (UTC)


 * ChartAttack reviewed Mercy Beat in early 2008, shortly after it was issued, saying that, “Best of all, despite Mercy Beat being recorded back in 1981, it should still do well both with original new wavers and fans of electro-pop like Ladytron.”  Non-profit Nebraskan music advocacy group Hear Nebraska mentions them as “some of the definitive Nebraska recordings of the punk-rock era.” Hartwell86 (talk) 23:31, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
