Re: IM SORRY but 'The Beatles' are OVERRATED
THANK GOD
A like minded person.

I just don't see what the big deal is. I am a huge music lover. All kinds. i just don't see what the big deal is. Frankly, they kinda suck.



do you understand songwriting.. ?

do you understand music theory ?

do you understand the technical advancements made in the studio because of the Beatles desires to break the molds in music recordings ?


if you answer no to such questions, then it is understandable why you would think the Beatles sucked...because you dont have a clue about such things.


So you're seriously arguing that someone who has understanding of all these things MUST love the Beatles? Really? Wow...

Do I have to go to film school and take acting classes and learn everything about the film industry in order to tell you that certain movies were bad? Negative. Oh, and you're an idiot.



nope...

loving the beatles, and being able to appreciate their achievemtns are 2 differnt things.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 756087


Your argument is dumb and you failed to acknowledge this. Your argument is that someone has to have knowledge of music theory, songwriting, and the technical advancements made in the studio during their time before you can say they suck. I guarantee that such a person exists, but it's silly to act like you have to have these qualifications to judge musical talent.

Re: IM SORRY but 'The Beatles' are OVERRATED
Im a huge beatles fan....and am a songwriter myself, having has some moderate success in a very corrupt and misrun business within music nowadays.

with that said...I always though Lennon was a bit of a hypocritical ass . But he was the intial driving force behind the Beatles bandmembers.

Luckily, it didnt take mcartney to long to catch up or surpass Lennons power within the Beatles, and b the year 1965-66, I feel Mcartney was the better songwriter in the band,.

In fact, Mcartney was the best muscian in the band...he could play many instruments very well...from drums, to piano, to guitar, to bass...

lennon was mainly a rhythm guitarist..who could tinker around on piano or bass, but wasnt very fluent on thiose instruments like Mcartney was.

Re: IM SORRY but 'The Beatles' are OVERRATED
I guess my perspective is simple..

I will usually valiue a opinons person, if that person has trained knowledge on a subject..

case in point..

if somone says they think the beatles sucked, but that person doesnt play instruments well, doeant have songwirting skill, doesnt understand music theory or doesnt knwo about advancements in studio technologys due to the beatles recordings/ writing, then that persons opinions will mean much less to me then someone who has a strong understanding of such points.

yes, it was a hit song..and IMHO, a very slow, boring and commercial styled song. The piano playing Lennon does is very subpar and unexciting in my view...

ironically, the song has some simliarities to Mcartneys song Let IT bE...WHICH IS A SONG LENNON despsied and ridiculed ..

ive never like lennons hypocrises...
and i nfact,

i didint think lenon showed his true genius when he went solo, until Double Fantasy was released

on that album, i CAN CLEARLY HEAR HIS GENOUS SONGWIRTING SKILLS and beatles influences..

but his plasticc ono band stuff, was just crap IMHO..

Well, I thought we were talking about them being overrated; I didn't realise we were talking about album sales. OK...just because they sell alot doesn't mean they are good, it just means they were marketed well to the masses. Because you were taken in by this, you are one of the sheep. I don't need to insult people or use bad language, my teenaged friend. There are countless artists who have proven that you don't have to be good to sell records.

Never under estimate the influence a crazed idealistic woman can have on a man.
I believe she stunted any creative effort we could have seen from Lennon from Lennon in the '70's by screwing up several of his albums. Notice that on Double Fantasy he did a good thing, split the record with her, basically keeping her off "his" tracks were the best he's done.

I still give him kudos for Mind Games, Number 9 Dream, Instant Kharma.
