Beatles _seem_ overrated because of how much influence they have had. Every great musician after them has probably learned from them, imitated them and improved upon their techniques.
So, if you listen to recent artists first and then go back and listen to Beatles, they sound more of the same, even though in their time they were kilometers ahead of everyone else.
- war1025 6y ago> they sound more of the same I guess to me they just sound very "oldies", which great, I'm just not really into that sort of poppy stuff.
- abdullahkhalids 6y agoYes, they pretty much invented (or least multiplied 100 fold) the Pop Rock genre. When they played, it was new, novel and interesting. If you had listened to them in the 50s, you would have been astounded by the completely new sound. Now, pop rock might be the most popular genre in existence across the world. So doesn't sound that great.
- war1025 6y ago> If you had listened to them in the 50s, you would have been astounded by the completely new sound. I think it's similar to how back in the day, and Apple ][ or Commodore was revolutionary. That doesn't mean they have remained the pinnacle in their field. But it also doesn't take away from the significance of what they accomplished in their time. But still, I just really don't care for pop rock whether new or old.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoI remember there was a review of a Beatles box set that started something like "half of these songs sound like some rock band you have heard before, and the other half sound like Oasis"
