"Oh, I didn't compare the Beatles' lyrics to Boston's. The lack of lyrical depth was Boston's weakness, but their album is full of recognizable songs and distinguishable music."
Hold on now. You said that Boston was the greatest album of all time and in the same post said that the Beatles lyrics sucked. Now you're saying that lack of lyrical depth is a Boston weakness. Yet it's still the greatest album of all time. I guess lyrics don't matter that much to you. So what are you picking on the Beatles for?
Yes. Very slowly now. Boston, a band not known for its lyrics, created the best album ever. There are many bands with better lyricists that did not compile a single album that rises to that level.
The Beatles' work has not aged well in part because their innovations are not innovative anymore and in part because their lyrics do not appeal to a generation that is not currently high on LSD.
