It's easy to like the Beatles

prove he's not right

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

black sabbath mean more to music than the beatles

They were told that by enjoying The Beetles they weren't as degenerate.

Who's Bob Dylan Elvis

No idea, but people get really autistic about them for some reason.

Don't get me wrong I understand their influence and changing the face of pop music at the time, but there are lots of bands and artists I would rather listen to. Never really liked their stuff to be perfectly honest, but I imagine it was quite an experience at the time.

The Beatles are a legitimately interesting psychological case, as seemingly all of their reputation is based on word of mouth. I think they give weight to the idea that if something is said enough then it becomes true.

I never liked The Beatles or even their genre of music.

Because they Beat All of the other bands

I hope you have two beautiful children, and that both of them die of cancer before they're twelve

The dress was white and gold

Especially for the baby boomers, 16-24 are the years that "define" your music taste in general.

stopped reading at "the most UNDERRATED", what a fucking retard lmao

Very true. Although I have noticed quite a few people around my age (24) who get really obsessed with them as well and hold them up as some kind of unattainable gold standard for everyone else.

Yeah, the beatles are so "UNDERRATED" :'(

The beatles is the most accessible band to this day in my opinion.

shit, man, I'd hate for you to sound opinionated
