glorified pop rock
I loved their psychedelia phase fuck they were so on point!
Then they went back and appealed to the people.. The white album, abbey road and let it be might have have a few memorable songs, but they were unworldly when they were tripping.

Let It Be, The White Album, and Help!
Yesterday
>most underrated song/album
Magical Mystery Tour
Flying
>favorite band member and why
Lennon. Paul is close, but those two are responsible for the majority of the songs that I enjoy from the band. Not that I hate Octopus' Garden or anything, but Ringo and Harrison just aren't on par, and Lennon held a greater role in my favorite Beatles songs.
>>64696945
>Overrated
Sgt. Peppers
Abbey Road
>Underrated
Magical Mystery Tour
Beatles for Sale
>Favorite Band Member
Probably Lennon. Although I don't like him as a person I do think he was the most talented musician.

Forgot to add: "I'm Only Sleeping" is a hidden beauty.
Revolver is their best album.
She Came in Through the Bathroom Window/Golden Slumbers the best
>most overrated song/album
I'd say Hey Jude and Abbey Road or Sgt. Peppers even though I love both.
>most underrated song/album
Martha My Dear and I feel White Album or Rubber Soul might be their most underrated.
>favorite band member and why
Ringo because he's based.
>favorite instrumental in a song
Again Martha My Dear.
>favorite lyrics in a song
I'm Only Sleeping's or Here, There and Everywhere's.
The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.
In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.
>hot onion incoming
The Beatles is v good. Extremely/really good rock band.

>favorite instrumental in a song
Flying is pretty nice
>favorite lyrics in a song
In My Life is classic
I love how unexpectedly disturbing some of their songs are. Rubber Soul isn't as consistently happy as earlier albums, but out of nowhere... Run For Your Life.

>let's have a discussion!
>first question is most overrated
>>64696945
>most overrated song/album
Most overrated song is either Hey Jude or Tomorrow Never Knows, for different reasons. Album is definitely Sgt. Peppers.
>most underrated song/album
Blue Jay Way and Rubber Soul.
>favorite band member and why
Paul. He and John are just about equal in terms of talent, but I actually like Paul as a person.
>favorite instrumental in a song
The haprsichord solo in In My Life.
