Some awesome covers in there.

They'll obviously go down as one of the most influential bands of all time for creating a template for pop success and marketing, and some of their music is great, but man 80% of their catalogue is garbage. There have been a lot of much less influential bands who at least didn't write so many songs that straight suck.

Really needed a full album of Chris Cornell singing the Beatles

Man...agreed. I'd take a whole new album of Chris singing anything. Absolutely loved his voice.

Pretty much every musician is overrated. They don't "move mountains" or "start revolutions" or any of that crap. In fact, much of the influence they do have over has been negative. Whether it be rap "artists" glorifying gang life, rock bands glorifying drugs, Madonna types selling ****iness, etc. These musicians laugh their way to the bank while many of the kids they influence screw over their lives. It's almost as bad as drug pushers. In hindsight, nothing is more pathetic than 25-45 year olds singing about smoking in the boys room at school, even though I liked it as a kid

Like I've said before, all they do is vibrate air. Maybe guys like Beethoven were geniuses, but that's about it.

You sound really fun.

Do you admire drug pushers for being "fun"?

Worst band ever.

These threads are always a great spreadsheet updater for people whose opinions you should ignore moving forward.

And I'm not even a big Beatles guy but this is absolute nonsense and you should never comment on any music topic again.

Well that was mean.

Sorry. My tongue was planted firmly in my cheek and that doesn't always come across in text. It's why I included the smiley face.

The Beatles were great in studio but very average live. If you pull up old videos of them playing live, many are them lip syncing. The ones that aren't are decent, but nothing great. Their magic was in the studio, and imo, they we're not good enough live musicians to perform all their post Rubber Soul music. That, or the technology just wasn't there yet.

---

I thought they had significant trouble with the technology? The speakers were crap and they couldn't be heard over the fans. It got to the point that they felt touring was both pointless and getting in the way of where they wanted to push their music.

Yeah, I guess moving over a billion units makes you overrated, as does selling 177 million more units than any band ever in the US ever has, 20 number one hits (a record), and McCartney is the richest pure musician ever.
But outside of that, yeah they're the suck.

---

You sound kind of like a sip defending them as the biggest brand of all time in college football because they generate the most revenue.

---

What a bizarre point.

That was presented as the proof Beatles best band ever, but I don't think you can look at that in a vacuum. Backstreet Boys sold more albums than Bob Dylan. Does that mean they're better?

And to be clear I never said Beatles sucked. I like some of their stuff. One specific example is Hey Jude. That's one of my favorite songs of all time. Never get sick of hearing it. If it's on radio when I get to my destination I'll hang out in my car for a minute or two until it finishes. Here Comes The Sun is another specific example.
