Well, time to start running in the streets amung your brainwashed citizens. Then I can start talking about how they charged me 6 million dollars tax for one cup of tea to be shipped to the moon...MaxTheReaper said:
Have you even looked at the chord charts for Something? That piece is musical genius. Look at the chord progressions, the sudden changes in key, and how the solo guitar plays along to a) the chords in the key, b) the chords outside of the key, c) the completely dissonant chords, like Ammaj7.hobo_welf said:
Got any more wonderful songs? The Beatles were good singers and that's about it. Spend your whole life playing music and eventually you can write a good song or chord progression. My hate for the Beatles is a combination of two things.Clashero said:
The first is that they are literally the most over-rated band of all time. Actually I'm pretty sure that next to god, they're the most over-rated noun of all time. And that's saying quite a bit.
The second is that compared to some bands today they're completely bland, let alone the bands that were playing at the same time as them.
I do not dispute their contribution to the musical world, I dispute their godlike status and the claim that they are the best band ever, because while they were pretty phenomenal singers, their musical talent was atrocious. I've never heard a soul searing solo come out of a guitar, a bitchin' bassline from them, and we won't even being to talk about good ol' Ringo Starr.
Edit: I will say that you make a damn good argument. Guitar solos matching up to dissonant chords are pretty haunting.
I see your point, and I'll agree on some parts of it:hobo_welf said:
The Who, in their early years, sounded a lot like The Beatles, except... better.
Their musical talent didn't show in their songs in the way, say, Clapton's talent did. Their talent became apparent in their (or at least McCartney's and Lennon's) level of musical knowledge, which they put to use in almost all their songs.
And "over-rated", that is something I can't argue with. I like them a lot (it's not quite on "love" level), but they are seen as the greatest band that ever existed, while there were far better musicians before, during and after the Beatles era. They were, however, one of the first bands to make a pop, highly marketable and mainstream sound that was also pleasant to the ear of the trained musician.
And yeah, Ringo was pretty awful.
It's a stupid thing to say, granted...probably more stupid to feel that it warranted a thread. My dad thinks that Lady Gaga is the most talented musician around right now, the absurdity of that claim far outweighs what you explained...
You know, fair enough if you don't like the Beatles, but you seem to be judging them on the fact that they're not shredders. If you didn't realise, the talents behind incredible playing and incredible composition rarely, if ever, match up, due to the fact that they come from totally different spectrums. Virtuosity comes from intense practice and structure, just look at Michael Angelo Batio. Sure, he shreds like a ************ but his songs are awful. Absolutely awful.hobo_welf said:
Back on topic however, the last word I would use to define the Beatles is "bland". Sure, they may have looked to Elvis and Chuck Berry for inspiration in their early days, but they invented different types of music and recording techniques. Listening to the Beatles, the one thing that always strikes me is how modern they still manage sound, because their influence has been so profound on the artists of today. As I said, fair enough if they're not your favourite band, but to say they're the most overrated band of all time shows that you are completely ignorant of musical evolution, as they paved the way for a vast amount of modern music. Their albums were highly rated because they were landmarks of the time, and sure - I don't think Sgt. Pepper's is quite the goldmine that critics hail it as. But I sure as hell recognise that the only reason I think that is because so much imitation has come and gone in the time between its release and now.
Wow, just wow.
Not him, you. That was just overdone man, all that build up for that? Waste of my time. I guess the discussion is about how overdramatic you were.

People are stupid. I hear enough of it.
Sorry to hear that every1(including me I suppose) is bashing your topic when all you wanted was someone to share your level of annoyance from such a situation, but its not that big a deal. Nobody cares. You left no reason to discuss anything. I dont understand what you expected, honestly.
