I like ‘I wanna hold your hand’ though
the worst one
Fight me (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Oh look this guy doesn’t like a band that almost universally makes the top of respected “best bands” lists.
You don’t understand because you’re not as smart as this guy. This guy has great taste and a deep understanding of what good music is. It’s everyone else on the planet in the last 50 years who are wrong :/
That guy in the corner meme here…
Curious that it looks like this echo chamber agrees with him
That’s an earplug, not a Beatle.
Instructions unclear, inserted Volkswagen Beetle into ear canal
Is that how one glings?
Instructions unclear, I hear scritching and tapping.
I think the beetle is tapping out Yellow Submarine on my ear drum.
Unpopular opinion, but I can’t stand listening to the Beatles. I admit, they have written some objectively good songs, I just don’t enjoy them. They just don’t sound good to me.
However, I’m not a hater, and if you like them, I’m happy for you!
I’m always in two minds. Like you, yes, I can say they’re objectively good, but I tend to find myself enjoying the slightly more experimental stuff rather than the hits that immediately come to everyone’s mind when you mention the band.
That said, one of my favourite songs is While My Guitar Gently Weeps 👌
The Beatles are undoubtedly a huge part of music history and a huge foundational piece of rock and roll. That being said, listen to what you like and like what you like.
I have trouble watching a lot of classic movies and find them boring. I’d like to think that’s fine!
I had a college roommate who thought the beatles were boring, and I had to think about that for a long time because it kind of went against my worldview at the time.
I think the Beatles were just so groundbreaking and influential that their influence is heard everywhere now, so if you missed listening to them as a kid, they just sound like old music
It’s music that I can deal with but it really doesn’t do anything for me. Like… It’s background noise, not something that engages me.
I definitely identified a range of classic movies from “Holy shit, I love this” to “I can appreciate this as Important Cinema but it’s not for me.”
In the first group I’ve got movies like Casablanca, The Philadelphia Story, and The Lion In Winter.
I recently watched La Dolce Vita, and that is very much in the second category. I can see how so many movie tropes came out of it but… it’s just a little bit too much for me.
It’s worth going back and checking out old movies because some of them are legitimately fun to watch, but it’s also okay to just acknowledge a movie’s contributions and move on.
they have written some objectively good songs
That’s a strong no
Well I guess music is inherently subjective, but they have definitely written many good songs.
Hard disagree, I’ll die on this hill 🤷♀️
You’re going to die on the hill that music is objective, and the Beatles are objectively bad? Interesting…
I’m curious what bands you consider “objectively good”
Most overrated band ever.
“I’m the egg man! I’m the walrus! Coo coo cachoo!” Wow so deep.
“You and I have memories, longer than the road that stretches out ahead” is such a simple yet powerful lyric that captures how I feel about my relationship with my wife. Knowing we have more time in the past then what is left for us in the future is both amazing and daunting. Realizing how many great memories we made through those years. All of that captured in one line of one of their lesser songs. But, if they aren’t your cup of tea, that’s cool too.
That song is literally nonsense meant to confuse people who overanalyze their songs. It’s not meant to be ‘deep’ haha.
You don’t have to like them, but there’s a reason why I and so many others think they’re fantastic.
And what is that reason?
Because they’re good! Excellent songwriting that stands the test of time.
The reason is that their promoters and managers pushed them hard by getting them played repeatedly on every radio station in North America and Western Europe and then getting them put on every popular music reviewer “best bands ever” list so that basic bitches would think “well if their music is everywhere and the corporate mandated music media says they’re good then they must be amazing!”
Ooh… shots fired across the bow of the Yellow Submarine!
C’mon, plucky little yellow fellow, torpedo the sh#t outta that blue meanie m#th#rf#ck#r!
I can’t stand them either. I get them. I respect them. I just don’t like them. Stones are the better UK band from the 60s.
I like the stones less than the beatles but love tull. I mean there was a lot of change and progression in that period from elvis onward.
heh, gottem
I have about 6 songs that I really like by the Beatles. Anything else I’ll end up skipping, no matter how hard I try.
26 people can’t handle the truth
