why can't you just not give a shit about them
what is wrong with you people that you can't ignore shit that you don't like

Oh crap. As a trendhunter, I start to sense that this hairstyle will come back within a 2 years frame.

>what is wrong with you people that you can't ignore shit that you don't like
I ignore 99% of the shit I dont like but this pleb band is constantly hailed as the absolute GOAT

Yeah I understand their importancen in music history but by todays standards there is literally no reason to listen to them other than to feel like an enlightened cunt

its pleb to hate the beatles

Its pleb to like them

Easiest way to spot a clueless non-musician.

Queen has the greatest disparity between popular acclaim and amount of good music.

Dude you're a fucking retard, the beatles ARE non-musicians,
They know jack fucking shit about theory, they created uninspired bland music for the masses and were only successful becaise they were im the midst of a popular wave of rock.

t. clueless non-musician
Seriously. Learn theory.

>b-b-but muh melodies
its just boring shit music and Im a musician.

you don't have care about melodies. look at the penny lane chord progression. look the at modal harmony of eleanor rigby. look at the different parts of strawberry fields in different keys and tempos that was edited together for the first time in their studios in 1966.

these songs are all boring af why do the beatles get so much praise? there was tons of great musicians pushing the boundaries in the 60s like jimi hendrix, pink floyd. heck even the rolling stones or eric clapton put out better shit back then. why the big circlejerk over the beatles? I just dont get it.

because you're baiting. saged and fuck off

Im not baiting and youre not really making any arguments besides "muh musical theory"

>melodies
That's not the only thing about music, clueless non-musician. As I said, learn theory.

>learn theory.
will it make their boring music less boring? doubt it.

Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton's music did not age well.

it's literally impossible to ignore the beatles, wtf are you talking about, they're everywhere

Just give it a few more years and once all the 50th anniversaries have passed everyone will forget about them again.

>doubt it
Based non-musician.

Sorry mate, but Beatles are a chad band.

Once the boomers are all gone nobody except s o i b o i s will remember this overrated circus band.

Why listen to The Beatles when Love, Moody Blues and The Zombies exist?

Attached: love forever changes.jpg (300x300, 50K)

Nah, I think they get the right amount of praise. I mean, they revolutionized rock music, fucked with sounds and studio techniques that no one in the mainstream was fucking at the time, they successfully exposed regular people to experimentation, were all great songwriters (Paul and John being genius level), had passion for what they were doing pursuing different sounds and songwriting styles with each album, released several masterpieces in only 7 years.
Man it's crazy how much this band achieved, anyone who says Beatles are overrated are just ignorant. They know nothing about music but pretend they do.

Attached: Revolver session.jpg (1080x1350, 186K)

The Beatles are easily one of the most important bands. If you like music, you need to grapple with this band solely because of the amount of money and influence they commanded. They defined a decade. If you're not interested in the history of music (even if it's just a particular type like pop music) and only want to hear what sounds good, not what was actually important: kill yourself. You don't deserve to listen to music.

Also to the "muh melodies" user, find me a band from 1963 that played rhythyms like then. Find me a middle 8 ANYTHING like the one on Can't Buy Me Love in 1964. You can't. Stop smashing decades together. This band was massively important. You don't need to like it, but you can't deny that.

This.
Even their earlier stuff is great and interesting. Music like I Want To Hold Your Hand and I Feel Fine are written in a such different way than your regular pop music at the time. Beatles was great from the very beginning, from the Carvern days.

Yep. Listen to the Billboard top 100 for 1962, 1963, and 1964 for the UK and US. It completely changes after the Beatles first couple singles. Every act starts trying to sound like them.

>t. Boomer
Can't wait until >your music fades into oblivion. You know how had more influence than the Beatles? Phil Spector; the Beatles literally stole sounds rather than craft their own (ie John Lennon getting literally triggered because Bob Dylan pointed them out at taking his songwriting style) Beatles are an example of manufactured pop and will only fade away over time.

>thinking The Beatles sound defined a decade
1960-62 is Rockabilly,R&B, Blues
63-65 - Space Age Pop, Surf, Garage
66-67-Harder Psych, more vocal Funk artists like James Brown and Tina Turner
68-69 - Art Rock, Orchestra lead Funk &Soul, Hard Rock, Proto-Punk and Country/Country Rock was the thing
Beatles sound way too different to define a decade. No band can do it. Unless you're only talking Rock or Pop (cause The Beatles sure ain't defining the Jamaican or French or Russian music scene at the time). It's only US and Uk then. And even a band like The Who showed the "average" sound of the decade better.

checked and truthpilled
only boomers give a shit about this awful boring band

>and will only fade away over time
>almost 60 years after their mains formation
>still the biggest and most influential band on the planet
Kek. Dude Beatles are probably even more famous nowadays because of the internet.
Beatles maybe will fade away over time one day but not even your grandsons will testify it.

>Beatles are probably even more famous nowadays because of the internet
Sure in China and Poo-in-loo land but American and European teachers are noticing not many kids know how John Lennon or Paul McCarthy are and try to force feed them Beatles and their solo tracks but find the kids are uninterested in such old music. Haha. Get fucked, boomer.

Dude no one is born knowing who is Paul or John. Or Bethoveen or John Coltrane. People teach about them because they did something big in the past.
Your argument is so weak it's liking reading a bait.

Oh yeah my bad it's not just kids but teenagers as well. Haha. Like I said before, get fucked, boomer.

checked my friend.
And even then, bands from the same genre and decade perfected the craft better. SPLHCB is the most boring album I heard my entire life. It's nothing but bland "experimental" ballads for skinny grey haired dads who probably think that Christgau or The Rolling Stone mag got something to say, while The White Album is just bloated with filler. It's 30 songs but only like 12 are actual full-fledged songs that vary at all. John's fake deep personality and lyrics are cringe, Paul's bland "give me pussy I'm Romantic" acoustic drivel is cringe too, and Ringo is just too fucked up to make shit worthwhile either. All their albums are overrated. The so-called variety that they clearly lack but replace it with "muh art and experimentation" doesn't mean the songs are good. "I'm Only Sleeping" has terribly annoying vocals and a couple of strumming chords that make Johnny Cash look like John McLaughlin. The song is no more experimental than a Kinks or a Monkees song, but those bands could actually put life and emotion into their music. "Oh, but they added unnecessary guitar looping backwards thingy for 5 seconds" this is the kind of petty shit you would hear from Radiohead fanboys. This doesn't change the fact that the song is absolutely uninteresting. Hell, The Beach Boys managed to incorporate much more mature and interesting facets of culture and influences on one whole album than The Beatles in their entire career while making sure every song is a catchy little Pop number interesting for both the Pop and an Exotica or Romanticism fan.

part 2.
The Beatles were the worst of the British Invasion that was all at once, but nothing at all at the same time.
Their lyrics were never on the level of a Jim Morrison
They never broke ground like a Silver Apples
They never broke the rules like TVU
They never wrote a timeless classic like The Moody Blues
They never had the swag of The Zombies
They never wrote a Rock Opera like The Who
They never Made fun of or satirised like Zappa or The Fugs
Their singing was never on the level of Arthur Brown, Janis Joplin or Ian Gillan
They never were raw like Them or The Stooges
They never composed suites and went batshit insane like Pink Floyd or the Krautrock bands
They never went to their country's roots and folk music like Jethro Tull
They never wrote Trippy drug anthems like Jefferson Airplane or Pracual Harum.
They never had the melodies of The Beach Boys
They never opened the Rock world to different fans of other genres like Beefheart or Dylan.
They never were anti-establishment like The MC5
And they could never play like The Nice or Hendrix

They were a "critic" endorsed band meant to be used as a psyop to destroy The Soviet Union fuck niggas.

not really, their early works are important to pop music but they go so far up their own assholes by the end.
especially lenon

Not him but I had a job at a school from 2014 to mid 2018 and I interacted with several teenagers and you are wrong. A lot of them are into 60s music, Beatles included.
There was even this fat kid who wanted to rock John Lennon look but he looked like a fat version of Liam Gallagher.

Ye and also the vocals were shit, the delivery was shit, the lyrics were shit, and Paul has an annoying, childlike voice.

>a job at a school
I have several teacher friends at different schools all across the US and they all vary as each school has it's own taste in music (mine was nu-Metal and rockabilly) but the majority of them say that most students don't know how the Beatles are or even what song they sing. Kinda funny that most of them know who 2Pac or Madonna are but not the Beatles haha

Beatles fans are so fun to infuriate because they can't stand that someone doesn't like the same shitty music that they like. They are like children, which enforces the fact that The Beatles make music for toddlers.

All of that music you're talking about is pretty fucking bad.

Not at all. There is a difference between not liking them and calling them overrated, which is not true.

I dunno OP but I Am the Walrus is pretty cool

I want to know what you like, I wonder what you consider "good"?

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

>uninspiring
Is that why they inspired so many other bands, user?

see

Julie Andrews as Mary Fucking Poppins

Well, that's alright but no Silver Apples, Arthur Brown or Moody Blues. So sit in your lane and don't fuck yourself up.

>So sit in your lane
>stand still so I can swerve on you
and that's what simple folk do.

They’re definitely overrated, but still one of the best bands of all time. Their melodies, chord progressions and experimentation made their music anything but boring.

meh response, still cool you engaging.

t. doesn't know music theory

>only successful becaise they were im the midst of a popular wave of rock.
You mean the wave they started?

OK

Pretty much all of this is wrong.

Baitles threads are the worst.

>The Beatles were the worst of the British Invasion that was all at once, but nothing at all at the same time.
If Beatles were the worst band, then all bands are bad because all of those bands tried to be the Beatles.
>Their lyrics were never on the level of a Jim Morrison
John Lennon was on par, if not better than Jim Morrison
>They never broke ground like a Silver Apples
Tomorrow Never Knows came before 2 years before Silver Apples.
Anyway, Silver who?
>They never broke the rules like TVU
The Beatles were the first band to record an album consisted solely by their own compositions.
They were also fucking with reverb before TVU.
>They never wrote a timeless classic like The Moody Blues
Are you kidding me? Everyone knows All You Need Is Love, Eleanor Rigby and Here Comes The Sun.
>They never had the swag of The Zombies
What?
>They never wrote a Rock Opera like The Who
Thank God they didn't, Rock Opera is a shit, corny genre. But they did influenced it by releasing Sgt. Pepper's.
>They never Made fun of or satirised like Zappa or The Fugs
Since when it makes something good?
>Their singing was never on the level of Arthur Brown, Janis Joplin or Ian Gillan
Listen to Oh Darling.
>They never were raw like Them or The Stooges
Listen to their Cavern shows bootlegs for raw Beatles.
>They never composed suites and went batshit insane like Pink Floyd or the Krautrock bands
Ok, I don't think they needed to. They had their own style and didn't need to copy every single band at the time.
>They never went to their country's roots and folk music like Jethro Tull
I've Just Seen a Face and White Album is Country influenced.
>They never wrote Trippy drug anthems like Jefferson Airplane or Pracual Harum.
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is literally one of the most iconic drug song you moron.
>They never had the melodies of The Beach Boys
Kek what?
>They never opened the Rock world to different fans of other genres like Beefheart or Dylan.
HAHAHA WHAT

Cont.

one sentence doesn't prove much.

>They never were anti-establishment like The MC5
They were the first mainstream artist to be openly against vietnam war.
>And they could never play like The Nice or Hendrix
Yea so what? Different songwriting styles.

Thirteen albums does.

i cant speak for everything youve listed but
>garage rock
the beatles were primary influencers of this. this is undeniable, and while there were many other british invasion bands influencing the scene you cant really say the beatles were small in any aspect
>psych
you guys always forget about revolver and rubber soul lmao, both of which came out before 68
>art rock
arent a handful of their albums considered art rock or have art rock aspects? sgt pepper? magical mystery?

A lot of this was the result of carefully curated rollout of certain technologies, rather than true musical innovation.

So we only talking success here? In that MJ is better than The Beatles. Or maybe not, I don't follow record sales as that is something doesn't interest me. Again with the bullshit "1 shitty song makes them genre innovators", next you'll tell me they invented Jangle Pop. Tomorrow Never Knows is a normal simplistic song with again some weird twitchy things but it's not in any shape or form as experimental or groundbreaking as Silver Apples.

This is way better and much more interesting musically for me personally, the vocals are much cleaner and pleasanter to the sound.
>If Beatles were the worst band, then all bands are bad because all of those bands tried to be the Beatles.
This is plain wrong since most these bands came at the same time and some were quite Anti-Beatles like Zappa, Beefheart and Lou Reed.
>The Beatles were the first band to record an album consisted solely by their own compositions.
They were also fucking with reverb before TVU.
If this is all you got from the five Velvet Underground records then I am worried for you. Raw songs about hookers, pure Rock Minimalism followed by an album that supposedly "Proto-Noise Rock" and then a complete 180 with one of the most melodic and textural albums of all time. Reverd has nothing to do with this, we're not talking Shoegaze (although I bet Beatlesfags think they invented that too)

Yesterday is the most covered song of all time. The lyrics obviously resonated with more people.

This is legit amazing

That doesn't address my point at all.

>The lyrics obviously resonated with more people.
Obviously, because Paul is a mediocre lyricist who liked to write about waking up and getting out of bed. It resonates with more people, because it's mediocrity reflects the mediocrity of banal life.

Can't respond cause here it's just your taste, but SPLHCB is an odd choice so let's move on.

>Since when it makes something good?
I thought we were talking innovation and cutting edge? Well, either way, both those artists have done more for genres such as Jazz-Rock, Punk and added character into Rock. As well as bringing the ironic attitude later on taken by Punks, Alternative kids and Hipsters.

yes. music follows the bell curve of humanity just like all the other arts. something mediocre and accessible will always resonate with more people than something difficult. this is how literally everything works and that's ok. it takes all kinds

>Beatles had never been this sexy or groovy
Didn't read the rest of your post, but I know you're wrong.
youtu.be/tAe2Q_LhY8g

The Moodys have like 3 REALLY good albums and the rest is pretty good, but only Threshold is really on par with the most average Beatles stuff.

Within any given Beatles song, there is interesting and uncommon chord progressions, the bass lines are more involved and specific than traditional rock music, the instrumentation is varied and utilizes rare soundsources, they make good use of studio effects, the lyrics are at times poingnant and surreal, the songs often make use of tasteful modulations, key changes, and time signature changes to renew interest, and within the greater musical tapestry of the 20th century, they were amazingly innovative and influential, with their music crossing many genres and sometimes birthing new ones entirely. And all this is secondary, of course, to their sheer melodic brilliance, which is undeniably why they have such a memorable discography.

Any other opinion is a meme.

Go follow your own advice, idiot.

>I don't like people for not liking people who don't like the things I don't like

Musician here. The Beatles were fucking brilliant songwriters. We may never know how genuinely talented they were at their instruments because they understood how to write a catchy melody and hook. They understood that sometimes less is more and technical wankery doesn't resonate with people. It's musical masturbation. The Beatles wrote pop songs for sure, but they wrote pop songs that were interesting and thought provoking and funny and subverted expectations of what pop music could be. They were all brilliant songwriters, and they let every bit of their personalities spill into their music. They created a relationship with their fans and toyed with listeners all the time.

Its also funny when people draw a comparison to The Beatles and modern pop music saying they are one in the same despite the actual content, lyrically and musically speaking, has a much wider appeal. Its just zoomers saying shit like "haha but its old" as if thats anything but a testament to their creativity. These dudes were so fucking creative and they didnt have half the tools to utilize in the studio that todays chumps have. Its a fucking joke when people write them off.

Tomorrow Never Knows is a fucking landmark song for sampling and tape loops in popular music and they wrote it in 1965. It was the first song recorded for the Revolver sessions. Let that sink in.
They taunted their fans with cryptic hints and references to their previous songs and fan conspiracy theories and shit before bands like Death Grips were even born.
>here's another clue for you all
>the walrus was Paul
Not to mention all of the weird conspiracy shit on the cover of Sgt. Pepper and the "Billy Shears" nonsense. They were hilarious. Constantly fucking with their audience.
God, I fucking love them so, much.

I was just watching some of the old Beatles movies yesterday, and they reminded me just how catchy and memorable pretty much all of their songs are.

I would never consider myself someone who doesnt appreciate modern music but The Beatles are and always will be my favorite band.

Maybe, but what those bands were doing was far more interesting, groundbreaking and worthy of notice but it was only in the 70's when they became a band of Beatles fame level.

>I've Just Seen a Face and White Album is Country influenced.
I meant more Folk but sure I'll give you that although I don't like their version of "Country".

>Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is literally one of the most iconic drug song you moron.

Masterful melodies, catchiest I probably ever heard.

>HAHAHA WHAT
Dylan for Folk, Beefheart for Folk, Blues and Modern Classical. Maybe stretch either Safe As Milk and TMR are more groundbreaking and original but you'll probably strawman this one.

If that's all you hear than you're deaf.
He did, much better than Lennon and Paul for sure.
Strongly disagree here, Their 60's and 70's stuff is gold and even the 80's work is good although bit cheesy but much less cringe inducing than Lennon's and Paul's solo career.

the abbey road medley is arguably one of the progenitors of prog rock

This album is basically The Beatles shitting on all of music, and it's awesome. They riff on nearly every genre in existence at that time, and it still manages to be a good album.

I still consider the white album to be the first alternative rock album ever made.

They were so fun.

Beatles cucked every single band into oblivion the instant they played on Ed Sullivan Show in 64. Since that performance they are the greatest and best band of all time.
The haters can only seethe. Most based band of all time.

This is way to slow and simplistic to be the kind of groove I was talking about, and the vocals are too annoying (and kinda nasally) to be sexy. This is much more akin to like late 60's UK Blues Rock of Cream than The Zombies. And hell, guess what? Those guys were better than The Beatles also!

Obviously Sunshine Of Your Love is a masterpiece and its the Riff is better than anything George or Lennon played.

And they all suck at making them.

>They were the first mainstream artist to be openly against vietnam war.
Yet it was CCR, Hendrix and those bands that made the Anti-Vietnam anthems that were straight to the point while Beatles stuff was quite vague at least to me.
>Yea so what? Different songwriting styles.
Musicianship matters in serious music.

They were absolute chads. They killed their idols. Back In The USSR was John Lennon making fun of Chuck Berry and Yer Blues was John making fun of the entire blues genre, and they still manage to be great songs. They literally wrote Helter Skelter just to spite The Who, because they claimed to have written the heaviest song ever and The Beatles refused to be outdone by a lesser band. The Beatles were hilarious and I genuinely feel bad for people who don't understand them. They're so fun.

For me, this album is the sound of a band on top of the world. The Beatles had just come off the success of Sgt. Pepper and they knew they were invincible. They could write anything they wanted because they're the fucking Beatles, and people would but it anyways. There's a song on here about eating expensive food with Eric Clapton, just for the hell of it. This album is what success sounds like.

You are literally right on literally all accounts.

>mfw Billy Shears and the Walrus were "Jenny Death when" before Jenny Death when

It's gonna spiked up hair, mark my words

Would you look at this fucking shitter right here.
All the tracks you posted are almost objectively bad, but not just bad, like really fucking bad. Classic velvet underground fan, a literal retard who can't appreciate the Beatles and thinks hitting the snare more Than once every 5 seconds is equal to "catchy".
The embodiment of the basic Yea Forums retard.

By this logic, more people would like the Doors

Holy Fuck you're a pleb. The Doors is patricianpilled

Double yikes!

Nice strawmen

The Doors are good, but they're not as good as The Beatles. Let's be real here.

How is Touch Me or Roadhouse Blues patrician?

Please don't use words you don't understand.

I think you may be stupid if you don't believe that's true also Soft Parade>>>>entire Beatles discography.

Beatlea couldn't even play their instruments man.

"Jakub Krawczynski sent me this supportive comment in 2010:

I find it quite amusing that almost all of the Beatles songs have their own entries on Wikipedia (nothing wrong with that in itself, actually), even if they are not singles, and each of them is meticulously dissected as if there were transcendental suites exceeding human comprehension, yet bands like Faust or Red Krayola, etc. have biographies even shorter than just one article about any random Beatles song. Needless to say, none of their songs have any articles on them, yet I'm sure there would be a lot more to talk about. Moreover, if you had put any bad review of their album on the site with the intention to show the broader scope of opinions, you'd risk your "life" there, since such fanatics don't accept any single sign of trying to be objective. You are seen as public enemy number 1 to them. It is like your article is one giant cognitive dissonance to them and vandalizing your bio was the only way to reduce this dissonance."

There was a lot of good posts made against The Beatles but Beatlesfags only strawman and insult these users rather than continuing a conversation. Beatles fans are more than "fans", they are fanatics like Clairo and Kpop posters who need their own containment place so they wouldn't shit up this board. With love, Mike.

>Can't wait until your music fades into oblivion
>Cultural impact of the Beatles still being discussed in 2019.

My dad grew up in the hood in the late 70s and early 80s. He liked heavy metal and funk and he never cared for The Beatles.

You Zeppelin and Kraftwerk?

Hence why I said pop music. Fuck classical. Go powder your wigs. Pop music is an entirely different medium than pop. If you try to compare them, you're literally retarded. No similarities whatsoever.

>Zombies
This shit came out like 3-4 years after the Beatles did it.

My dad Scriabin, Mahler, Chopin, Motzart, Duke Ellington, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Space, Vistotsky, PF, Wayne Shorter, Stravinsky, Morricone, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Flamenco, Henry Mancini and The Doors and he thought the Beatles were gay. For once he was right I think.

>prove me wrong you literally can't
but you can't prove you right

Top kek

I read Scaruffi too bro
This is a poor review though l, it boils down to
>”Beatles fanbois are too obsessed with Beatles, why don’t they appreciate my good music more???”

> futile drooping links to every late 60s band's most famous songs in place of arguments
retard. anyway this is the only thing that can stand head to head with the beatles in sheer creatively. they went the complete opposite route and did more on their own than the rest of the yobs living in the beatles' shadow

>doesn't get the beatles yet calls other people dense

both of these are true.

I legitimately like the 1966-1971 Beach Boys output better than anything the Beatles did. Not even trying to be contrarian, I still actually like most of the Beatles' albums, it's just a personal preference that most people obviously do not relate to.

No, I'm pretty sure they played their instruments. There's photographic evidence.

What can you expect from a "Pop" Band? They are Pop, do you realize? Do you even... 156 replies about discussing Pop Bands business.

All great bands and important in their own right...as are the Beatles.

Someone had to be the best/on top. People would hate whatever band that was because we live in a world of contrarian cunts.

It's OK not everyone can be patrician

There is nothing to get about silly pop hooks.

Hypocrite.
