Why are there no Beatles threads here? They shaped modern music as a whole. There's a reason why they're considered one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.

he fact that so many books still name the Beatles "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 worth of being saved.
The Beatles are a suck

It's not being blinded by commercial success when they were commercially successful because they were so good.

Hi newfriend.
>>65652571
They were overrated, OK I guess though.
George was best beatle btw.
IMO, they were good from rubber soul to magical mystery tour. everything before and after that is mediocre pop garbage.

How can you not like Abbey Road and at least some portions of the S/T?
I just fucking love how Ringo stuggles to leave the horse.

Scaruffi does it again, Beatles fans on suicide watch.
Good band. I prefer Beach Boys though. Sure Beatles were more consistent but Pet Sounds and Smile are just monumental pop records that none other can rival.

Getting real tired of this pasta
>>65652571
You must be new here. There's at least one Beatles thread each day.

You fell for the Scruffy Copy Pasta.

Ringo and George are tied for first place.

The Beatles never put out a bad record, imho.

If it weren't for Pet Sounds, there would be no Sgt. Pepper. On the other hand, if Smile was released on time, in the way Brian heard/envisioned it, I think it would've given Sgt. Pepper a good run for it's money.

Let's not forget that Brian heard songs from the Sgt Pepper sessions and said they beat him to the punch.

You mean Smiley Smile.
And no, it's kinda shit.
Rolling Stones > the beatles
>>65655687
No, he means Smile. Smiley Smile is very different, I hope you know
>>65655748
Smile was never completed, so he can't mean that.
