How can you honestly listen to yellow submarine and vibe to I just don’t fucking get it.
I know it's an extremely funny post as is, but that leaves out the funniest part imo, I genuinely don't think I'd be able to name a Beatles song at gunpoint, other than imagine
You're still good. Imagine was just John Lennon, not Beatles.
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"
Right. You don't have to like them, but they were absolutely game changing.
Rubber Soul changed music forever but I am still upvoting because struggle sesh
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.
Fr black people's music is pretty consistently the best from the beginning of recorded music up until the 90s-2000s.
Not that bad, but not nearly as good as they're made out to be
They have some good stuff, but most of it is overplayed. I only really listen to their psychedelia, so Yellow Submarine is okay.
is this a really a struggle session? do people actually like the beatles? lmao couldnt be me
