Yeah, I'm wondering the same. Who was it that said that not liking the Beatles is as perverse as not liking the sun? They were right.
The guy writing the anti-Beatle piece sounds like a high-schooler trying to be cool. Not one valid point. The fact that their albums remain consistently atop listeners' and critics' polls, coupled with the fact that although they only recorded from 1962-1969, they've outsold every artist in history, makes for one convincing argument for their greatness. Not to mention that they are cited probably more than any other artist as an influence and/or inspiration. Not many bands boast four songwriters, four lead singers, and the sheer variety and number of cover artists of their material. Thanks for the ping.
