As for those who said the Beatles are "overrated", I find that it's mostly young people who don't get them and never will who say that, or people who weren't ever into them in the first place. Wonder why eitherr type would bother to click this thread.  |
While the Beatles aren't quite the exact era I was born in, I can assure you, I'm not that young. I have a massively wide and open minded musical taste. I play guitar in many styles and am not limited to listening to rock, pop, jazz etc. I will listen to whatever I think is good.
I didn't say the beatles were shit ... I did state they were overrated. And I'm sorry, but they are. People make out that the beatles shit didn't stink, and I have to say it, but they wrote some utter fucking crap. They came around and became big in a time when music was a certain way ... the popular music of the time was blown away by the beatles. So what? Does that mean they're awesome? Not really... it simply means they filled a hole where it needed filled. The Beatles did write some nice pop songs ... but many of the 'classics' bore me.
That's what I mean by overrated. The fact that so fucking many people think they're all that when in fact, they weren't.
