Most overrated band in history
Nope. That would be the Stones.
Well, they are a bit cynical. Good product for the Ministry of Propaganda.
No, that would be whoever you listen to.
Most overrated would be The Who, although I love Quadrophenia.
That is correct.
But on the other hand, Charles Manson thought they were brilliant.
They put out more hits in a shorter time than just about anyone.

There it is. The reason I clicked, waiting for the first whackjob freeper out of touch with 97% of the world. I see it’s the usual transparent contrarian creep that can always be counted on.
I have thought that to be the literal truth since 1964.
I watched Beatle-mania as it happened. My elder sister, and to a lesser extent, elder brother, fell prey to it. It really was like mass hysteria.
No band is, or could be, that good. They were talented and creative, and fairly consistent, but they were not head and shoulders above the pack.
If any other band released songs like Rocky Racoon, it would be ignored, or mocked, or treated like a novelty. It would not merit ongoing airplay.
I like some of their work, I own a couple of their albums, and Abbey Road is my definite favorite by them. But there are other bands I prefer:
The Beach Boys [1966-73], The Mamas and the Papas, The Association, The Byrds, Led Zeppelin, The Who; the list goes on, and that is just from the mid/late 1960s: I also listen to many more modern bands like Mew, Muse, Florence & the Machine, Of Machines & Men, Lamb, One Dove).
