I’m not talking about their personalities but their contributions to popular music which they improved considerably if you recall the sort of drivel being played on the radio before them. Lennon always had a BS detector and knew how much of what he said was so much drivel. There’s footage of him mocking the song Imagine at his home.

Drivel on the radio before him?

Oh please.

These guys are WAY overrated.

Their music was different, no doubt about it. But from a musical standpoint they were not very talented or accomplished. Lennon knew three chords and Starr three grooves. They were just headed in a different direction.
