Top 10 Reasons Why One Direction is Better Than The Beatles

The Top Ten
1 One Direction are nicer

Certainly John was kind of misogynist and said a controversial statement of being "more popular than Jesus", but he was less of a douche than post-One Direction Zayn or Kanye West, who does think he is Jesus. I have been a Directioner, but besides the Red Nose Day they funded, I do not think they did much. Plus, the Beatles actually took part in tons of activism (e.g. animal rights, peace).

Harry Styles is a fan of The Beatles and he probably got all of them to do the Abbey Road. Oh and they didn't even want to be a boy band they just wanted to get on the live show.

Ever heard of a girl with a terminal illness who's only wish was to meet One Direction, but One Direction decided to snub her because they weren't getting paid?

They do charities to help sick kids and they make people's dreams come true. They do everything in their power to make others happy

2 One Direction writes better lyrics

No they don't. they don't write songs. And the songs they sing are about love. I can name lots of songs by the beatles that aren't about sappy love: Eleanor rigby, Yellow submarine, help, let it be to name a few.

This is a troll. The Beatles have the talent and soul

3 One Direction doesn't need instruments to be talented

But they do need five crappy singers to be a band.

Instruments would make you extra talented

4 One Direction makes more love songs

If I ever date a musician, I would rather wish he played "Something", "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "All My Loving", etc. over "What Makes You Beautiful", "Little Things", "Kiss You", etc.

So what? A street musician in my town makes love songs, too. Does that makes him better than the Beatles?

But the Beatles wrote better ones

5 The Beatles were only around for ten years

But their legacy lives on... They will always be remembered. Always.

And One Direction was only around for half of that

And One Direction was only active for half of that

Don't get me wrong, I love 1D but...they were only relevant for 5 years

6 The Beatles aren't talked about anymore

Then I will make people talk about the Beatles, once more.

Whoever wrote this is wrong and also a liar.

Oh great, here we go again.

Not exactly true

7 2 of The Beatles are dead

I think someone who wrote this must be an immortal.

And...your point is?

So! You can’t live forever! The Beatles were the best band in the world! There is no expiration date on talent

8 The Beatles are not that good looking

If I was walking down the street with my yearbook and a pen in my hands, and I saw the Beatles walking down the strret, I'd ask them to sign my yearbook.

Neither are One Direction.

Paul McCartney ain't cute anymore.

Why was Paul McCartney the cute Beatle then?

9 The Beatles weren't chased around as much as One Direction

That's a good thing...How would you feel if you had screaming fangirls running after you 24/7?

10 One Direction's albums are better

This list is such a load of utter CRAP! One Direction was a nothing band compared to The Beatles and a number of other bands. The Beatles music and legacy will never die. One Direction who? has gone forever.

I genuinely laughed so hard at this list, because the person who wrote this is so utterly stupid, wrong and closed minded

The Beatles made one of their best album when they were high. Try it.

The Contenders
11 One Direction is funny

Guess you haven't see John Lennon's witty comebacks, Paul McCartney's epic burns, George Harrison's sardonic comments, and Ringo Starr's hilarious acts though.

The Beatles are funnier, and One Direction is so irrelevant now.

12 One Direction Has a Better Connection with Their Fans
13 The Beatles are boring and 1D is not
