      I don't know if yoh can really say they "objectively don't suck", but I know with what you mean.

      Most of the hatred directed at the Beatles is just because it's a trendy 'hot take'. There's a difference between "I don't really like The Beatles" vs "Actually they were trash"

      Youre definately right about any band that big being overrated. The beatles are one of my favorite bands of all time, but I know thats just cause ive been hearing them forever and its just what my brain craves now, nothing about the music is inheirantly "better" or whatever.

    You say you want a revolution

    Well, you know

    We all want to change the world

    You tell me that it's evolution

    Well, you know

    We all want to change the world

    But when you talk about destruction

    Don't you know that you can count me out

    Don't you know it's gonna be

    All right, all right, all right

    You say you got a real solution

    Well, you know

    We'd all love to see the plan

    You ask me for a contribution

    Well, you know

    We're doing what we can

    But if you want money for people with minds that hate

    All I can tell is brother you have to wait

    Don't you know it's gonna be

    All right, all right, all right

    You say you'll change the constitution

    Well, you know

    We all want to change your head

    You tell me it's the institution

    Well, you know

    You better free you mind instead

    But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao

    You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

    Don't you know it's gonna be

    All right, all right, all right

    All right, all right, all right

    All right, all right, all right

    All right, all right

    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.

    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.

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