Haha, I like em, and maybe they were influential or whatever, but they have a lot of garbage in their catalogue for sure. The white album for example could easily be cut in half, didn’t need to be a double album.

I think Rubber Soul is their best album, after that a lot of their stuff went way too far up its own ass, I don’t need to listen to a bunch of white dudes playing the sitar tbh.

Also my “hot take” (and amongst a certain crowd it is definitely a hot take) is that the Rolling Stones are better than Beatles - sure the Beatles were better for like, four years in the 60s, but the stones have another 50 years of material after that. The stones didn’t even release some of their best albums until after the Beatles were broken up. So over the course of their whole output I much prefer the stones.

Rubber Soul changed music forever but I am still upvoting because struggle sesh

One of my favorite things to do to trigger Music People is to just say The Beatles are a '60s version of BTS, and when they get mad I just point out all the worst songs in their catalogue that are indefensibly bad, like “Octopus Garden”.

Abbey Road is a very good album, I like it a lot. Also Happiness is a Warm Gun prob my fave Beatles track, the guitar solo is ace. She’s So Heavy also good. Come Together, and Tomorrow Never Knows also good. Plus no one fucking likes Yellow Submarine don’t be stupid m8.

def overrated but they don’t totally suck

They have some good stuff, but most of it is overplayed. I only really listen to their psychedelia, so Yellow Submarine is okay.

You might not like them, but they objectively don’t suck.

“I’ve never listened to the Beatles” I posted smugly
