The Beatles may not be to your taste, and that’s fine. We all have different taste. But you objectively can’t argue that their music was formulaic. You just can’t. From 66 to 69 they were shocking the music world with every record. Lennon-McCartney wrote insanely diverse tunes across many genres, sometimes on a single album (see the White Album). Entire genres were inspired by single songs that they wrote. These facts alone make it objectively hard to argue that their music Beatles are overrated.

Guys, it’s The Beatles.
Formulaic music that got hyped into genius status by a perfect storm of timing and savvy media, not actual skill. Expert exploitation of trends already pioneered by others.
They’re a marketing phenomenon that got called the greatest because they sold a lot of records to herd-mentality teenagers, not because the music itself was ever the most advanced, demanding, or enduring rock ever made.

While their first 4 albums are mostly just okay rock n roll, their next 8 albums are some of the most influential and best written music - all made just in span of 5 years. Sounds like fake compliments, unless you listen to music before them and understand what they actually did

The way Julia Stiles makes us cry (complimentary). 😭
She and some of her "10 Things I Hate About You" cast mates reunite for "Dancing With the Stars" Dedication Night to pay tribute to Heath Ledger. See more of their reunion at the link in bio. (🎥: Disney) enews.visitlink.me/u_nttU

I think it’s important to remind everyone who the right choose to idolise:
• Tommy Robinson: 2 active charges — harassment causing fear of violence / 11+ convictions — assault, fraud, stalking, false passport & contempt
• Russell Brand: 7 active charges — rape, sexual assault & indecent assault
• Danny Tommo: 8 active charges — harbour offences, harassment, trespass, criminal damage & PIN refusal / 1+ conviction — attempted kidnapping
• Andrew Tate: 42 active charges — rape, trafficking, ABH, controlling prostitution, child-image offences & extreme pornography
• Tristan Tate: 17 active charges — rape, trafficking, ABH & sexual assault
It’s also important to note that all five of these men have publicly embraced religion in recent years.
