I don't think your opinion is wrong, but if you like rock music and you have a favorite band/artist, they were likely influenced by another band/artist that listened to or studied the Beatles or they have the Beatles as part of their ancestry tree of influences. There have been a lot of great artists/bands that weren't very popular (at least initially) but ended up having a major influence on music over time (e.g. the Velvet Underground). The Beatles have been one of the biggest influencers on music.
- moron4hire 4y agoWhat does that have to do with listening to goofy, Jim Henson-esque stuff like "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Octopuses Garden" and having people try to gaslight you into believing there aren't a dozen better ways to spend your time?
- relyks 4y agoLol, it doesn't. The Beatles are one of my favorite bands and I really dislike some of their songs too. I was just trying to say that a big portion of their hype is because of their influence. You don't have to like them, but they deserve respect
- zeroonetwothree 4y agoNo musician has ever produced 100% masterpieces. I can cherry pick bad songs from any artist you care to choose. Also FWIW some people actually like those two you mention.
- ahoho 4y agoIt seems odd to pick on one of the most universally reviled Beatles' songs to make your point. Three of the band's own members despised it. I don't even think the dozen fans of Maxwell's Silver Hammer would argue it's high art
