I agree, alot of their later songs did have quite a bit of depth...but it's the older ones that I listen to now the most...and that's what I always thought was part of their charm....in a world that's pretty complex, they were 4 boys, laughing, and playing and having a good time, singing about love and peace and happy things...problems? ...who cares, la di dah...it's hard to listen to them and stay in a bad mood : )
