Most over-rated band ever, hands down.

Amen. Preach on, brother, whilst I don my flame-retardant suit.

Allow me to expand - thank you for your kind words.

Maybe the most over _hyped_ band. Lots of advertising, and quite a few talented people behind the scenes, like George Martin who was able to combine his technical expertise into marketing a new genre.

Seems to me an awful lot of material was just sub par, yet the scraps from the cutting room floor are received As Great Wisdom from adherents. I shouldda known better. Hm. To add insult to injury, the “British Invasian” spawned a host of American imitators, so slicked up plastic hippies with a guitar and amplifier trolling around the countryside corrupting our youth with bad drugs and psychobabble. Very talented musicians weren’t able to
ply their wares in quite the same way, as they weren’t “cool” or “hip”.
