I think even tedious, self-important, self-pitying old bore Roger Waters would say the Beatles, mate.

Beatles are the most overrated band in history. Sure, they've got a nice catalogue of good pop songs. And a few quirkier ones that warrant interest. But just because they were one of the first famous rock bands doesn't mean they're the greatest. Their albums get tiresome after repeat-listens as the songs are too short, have too much singing - not enough flow, or room for the spaces between the music to breathe. No real darkness in Beatles musik either, no mystery or menace. Great art can benefit from such things...



You're spending too much time in Germany.

you're probably right...

Oh dear, massive fail. And on a scouse forum as well.

Just because they're scouse doesn't mean an Evertonian has to like them.

Liverpool's been an epic cultural hub for Britain for many decades, under-appreciated probably. The Beatles are a massive part of that. Just not my kind of music, personally. Neither are Rolling Stones, who also seem to get universal love.

Pink Floyd are an acquired taste, but once acquired, The Beatles' musik just seems basic. Bit like how you think Philip Glass is the master of minimalism, until that is you come across Steve Reich and Arvo Pärt. A different level of transcendence.
