They're severely overrated, but also quite culturally/historically relevant. So... what can ya do?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They are extremely relevant, culturally and historically. They broke new grounds for music, and a lot of today's music would simply not exist without the Beatles, or some of their contemporaries. That alone means they're not overrated.

However that doesn't mean everyone has to love them. It's possible to recognise their relevance without worshipping them.

I mean honestly, wtf do I know. Most people would hate a good portion of my music library. This is all subjective.

I think this is a case of the Seinfeld effect where people take them for granted due to them being so influential that part of their sound has become imbued into every single pop band that came after them.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

Yeah, there are any number of "But so-and-so did it so much better than the Beatles!" instances, but the thing is that so-and-so wouldn't have even tried if the Beatles hadn't done it first.

Take or leave their music, there's no denying the massive influence they had.

It's like how Elvis improved the sandwich market forever with his invention.

I'm not proposing we do anything. I think they deserve their fame.

We could send Japanese women to individually destroy their careers.

Sounds like a bunch of work tho

They're all trained saboteurs, they need little to no guidance. Get this... we use performance artists. Success is guaranteed!
