The Beatles: Do You Like Them?

[QUOTE="Oblivionfan10"][QUOTE="D_Battery"]

I do think they are overrated in general but John Lennon in particular was. I'll concede Paul McCartney really does have a knack for writing catchy tunes despite not always being particularly deep or meaningful, but Lennon wrote a lot of really crappy songs that didn't go anywhere. (George Harrison is just plain awesome, not going to bash him)

Not exactly the same, but Clapton liked to sing about other people's wives. :lol:

[QUOTE="Oblivionfan10"] A lot of John Lennon songs were about his jealousy for former lovers. Including him wanting them deadLJS9502_basic

I probably would've liked them if I lived in the 60's, but music nowadays is completely different. Most of The Beatles are dead, but all of their music is dead.

No, too simple for my taste.cyberdarkkid

I stopped liking them maybe a month or two back.

My favourite band, and definetley one of the greatest in music history in terms of influence

Also, they're early music is still great, A Hard Days Night was a bloody masterpiece dammit. From about then until their last work they were absolutely incredible

Probably my favorite band of all time.

LOL tell that to the recent sales of their remasters

Hell yes. My fav song is Come Together :Pgaming4us

Amazing bass in that tune. Macca was such a fantastic bass player, very underrated as one

And I will say this, they are much better than any mainstream rock band today. I wish I grew up in the age when being popular meant you had some sort of talent or originality. The Beatles had both, sure they werent the most technical band of all time but you hear their influnce in bands like Pink Floy all the way to today with Animal Collective and Of Montreal.
