The Beatles are the most overrated band in history. All they did was perfect the kind of prefabricated craptacular pop love song designed to get 14 year old girls hot. Everything that’s wrong with popular music today stems straight from the Beatles, every canned pop group since is another desperate attempt to recreate the Beatles, the addiction to pop hooks, cheesy love songs, and synthetic easy to tap your toes to rhythms is all from them.
Are you a musician?
Whether you like the Beatles or not they certainly were not of the Tin Pan Alley / Brill Building song-mill variety you have such distaste for.
It may seem a simple matter now to hear minor chords, 7ths, 9ths and so forth in a pop song but virtually nobody did it prior to them and everybody did it after.
There was nothing ‘canned’ about them in that they played every note of every song on their own gear (with rare exceptions like strings, horns and piano). A far cry from 99% of popular artists at the time.
Your ire is evident but you are distorting history and facts in your zeal. Save your bile for the Monkees, the Bay City Rollers or the boy/girl groups of the 60s and beyond who use backing tracks and/or studio musicians.
Nice string of nonsense but its creative use of words does not hide the emptiness of the thought therein.
There have been very few albums better than “Abbey Road”, “Revolver” or “Rubber Soul” and even the weaker albums have some great songs in them “Back in the USSR” for example. Even the lesser albums were mostly a lot of fun at a minimum.
Until the Beatles Rock was dying on the vine from all the diseases you incorrectly lay at the Beatles’ door.
Redefine popular music. Not once, but twice.
You and everyone else who believe the Beatles are "over-rated" are beyond mad.

You sir have zero to say about music after that statement. Most major composers , musicians and music critics would agree . You actually have no clue what you’re talking about . It’s not even a matter of taste .
