As for you had to be there argument, that wouldn't explain why I consider Rolling stones or Beach boys from same era better than overhyped Beatles. And honestly I was not really there even during Queen and Abba fame and find these two vastly superior to Beatles, which is almost unlistenable for me besides few great songs like Imagine (which I guess ain't even Beatles), Yesterday, So this is Christmas (is it Beatles?) or All you need is love.
- moron4hire 4y agoI think a lot of people forget that pop-music is a business. Pop bands are essentially corporations in competition with each other. I think the true legacy of The Beatles is that they were the first band to understand that about themselves. But to then assign unique artistic genius to that output--that's completely ignoring that competition existed at all. Like how some fanboys seem to think Apple invented the smartphone.
- petodo 4y agoYeah as someone using Symbian years before iphone I always find it funny they kept calling it first smartphone. Heck even in my previous dumb Java phones I was already many years before running email client, IM, games, browser, calendar and was doing almost everything I'm doing with smartphone, just the experience was not that pleasant, I was fan of Siemens phones which allowed root access to file system unlike other locked brands where you could not even share your resources with others.
