  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.

    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.

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

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

  the word overrated means nothing and is used by cowards to try to discourage enthusiasm for things they can never comprehend.. it needs to be burnt on a word pyre..

    I’ll rephrase:

    I think the Beatles are not nearly as good or enjoyable as many people suggest, and I’m not afraid to say it.
