Were the Beatles really all that great, fellas?

[DonVonDuck]

I know they had a lot of hits and stuff, but how much of that was just a result of horny young gals hearing those fancy accents, laying eyes on those stylish haircuts and sogging up their stinky little panties something nasty? Am I out of line here, fellas? Maybe I am. I'm not too well-versed on the Beatles. Looking back, I never understood the God-like worship everyone has for these wipes. Lets be honest here, does anyone think for even one second that Yellow Submarine was a good song? Would it still have been a hit if any other group released it? Doubt it. I highly doubt it. Stick the Bee Gees name next to it and see how well it does. They would've been the laughing stock of the industry. And really, the same could be said for most of the Beatles library. It's very easy to churn out hit after hit when millions of gals are plunging their bogs to you every night. Fantasizing about your hair. Doesn't even matter what you sing at that point. The bogs will be plunged regardless. Am I wrong on this, boys? Maybe I just don't understand it. The whole "Beatlemania" thing.

[Critter5592]

My generation doesn't listen to them (born in '92). In fact I think most of my generation is more on the hip-hop/rap train

[mikieson]

as is anything its all subjective..The Beatles suck to me..Others will say different.

[anonkunbrah]

It was all illuminati hype to start making the masses a bunch of degenerates

[bezarker]

Changed music...

[AlwaysFocus]

I mean in elementary they were kinda pushed on us by old teachers, but i dont like much of their music.

[NsaneOne]

They were good up until 2012 then it all changed

The modern rock riffs you listen to today were bought to life by the guys playing in the 60's.

Try listening to 40's/50's stuff. Its chit.

I enjoy a lot of 60s & 70s music, partner. I think music back then was substantially better than it is today. It's just the Beatles I'm talking about. I never got the appeal.

[2RDEYE]

yes. and their songs will forever be classics. no one is saying they're the best, but their songs will no doubt always be remembered.

[fagort]

they're good because they influenced all the bands that came after them. they are your "favorite band's favorite band". considering that they came out in the 60's where the only other music before that was jazz and folk. they were the pioneers of the classic pop sound that's still heard in radios today

[dozaman]

The Beatles were some of the most savvy businessmen in music ever. They basically copied Chuck Berry and made billions instead of selling genre-creating songs for $50.

[mythos34]

I think they are over rated a bit but I do like some of their stuff.

Elvis was my fav from that era.

All of Elvis's good music was pre Beatles

Elvis was in the era of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, etc

yea no, was brought to life by blues players down in the Mississippi delta back in the 30's. In-fact blues spawned off all other american music, it's the most original form of american music and the GOAT.

and the Beatles did suck, and so did Bob Dylan, fukin harmonica shattering my eardrums ffs

[Jasonw1178]

I'm embarrassed that my parents still listen to Elvis.

[SuperHercules]

To answer the OP. The Beatles were very talented talented and prolific. I like them in general but they put out some garbage too. They were the most popular group in music history at their peak and will probably never be eclipsed in popularity per capita

The exposure of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 became a touchstone event for an entire generation and for music lovers everywhere. Never before had so many viewers tuned-in to a live television program, which with 73 million viewers, was three-fourths of the total adult audience in the United States.

Jailhouse Rock is cool although it's rather gay

They were far more influenced by Buddy Holly than Chuck Berry and it shows in their early songs

[Jasonw1178]

Never even thought of that.

[Mr Beer]

They were very talented and had a high output. Also, they were the first absolutely massive pop group in an era which has come and gone. There is no equivalent to the Beatles any more, where you had basically two or three groups and then everyone else, because the music scene is vastly more diverse than it was back then.

The combination of being ground-breaking and incredibly famous in an era where there was hardly anyone else of that stature means that their legacy is secured.

Also Yellow Submarine is terrible unless you are 6 years old.

dafuk? but who was Nat King Cole

[SuperMariBro]

Listen to live performance. Those bitches don't even listen to the music. Just scream and throw their chit-stained panties.

Think modern day boy band. Buncha homers prancing about on stage.

[SuperHercules]

Never even thought of that.

it's pretty gay

Number forty-seven said to number three
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"

bro their songwriting and production was incomparably visionary for its time and their influence is unprecedented, dead srs. greatest rock band of all time as far as i'm concerned

I think Revolver was their best work, closely followed by Sgt Pepper's

[MediocreGains]

I like how the only song you mentioned was Yellow Submarine. You take anything that is universally praised and you'll have some edgelord on the internet claim that it's completely overrated.

It's garbage, my friend. It truly is. Specifically designed to appeal to those suffering from drug-induced retardation. Not even up to Sesame Street standards. No mentally capable adult should view it as anything other than a pile of **** shot out for the sole purpose of profiting off a heavily inflated fanbase. Most of their music falls into that same category.
