I just don't get how people like them.
I can't say that I enjoy any of their songs. |

Well their earlier work was sort've crappy.
But when they got to the end of their career as The Beatles, each of them started going into different directions with their musical taste... That's when the magic happens.
Well, if you were on my end... It feels real nice considering their discography is huge and you have about 275 songs to choose from...

And the middle - end was my favourite.
Psychedelic Rock is basically my favourite genre of music, if you don't count the loose-title: Classic Rock.

The Beatles had a few great songs, and a lot of good songs.
I can't consider them to be "the greatest band in the world." I can give them the title of ONE of the greatest bands, but still. |

| The reason why the Beatles were so popular was they were making music like no one had ever done. Songs like, "I am the walrus" were totally different. They also made long hair popular. And a lot of kids from our generation don't like the Beatles because we live in a totally different time. I like them, but they are not something I'd generally listen to. |

You don't like the beatles because we are in pop-culture, where everything is rap, crap, and rock.
The Beatles had a few good songs.

actually I don't listen to rap or pop, and I only listen to a small amount of rock. |

No. That's not why they were popular. A lot of bands make/made music nobody has ever done. They didn't get nearly as popular as the Beatles. The Beatles are just overrated, and there isn't anyway you can dodge that. |

But the Beatles are probably the most overrated out of any artists out there. Justin Bieber included. |

No, if you suck and are still famous, then you're overrated. Or if people just perceive you better than you really are. |

They are the most famous BECAUSE they are so overrated. They're not the most overrated because they're the most famous. |

Their first album climbed to the No. 2... They instantly made a hit, they had no momentum before-hand.

You're missing the point. I'm talking about how the media flushes it into peoples heads that these people are the greatest band of all time. If the media didn't constantly say that, then the Beatles wouldn't be nearly as famous as they still are. |

Umm... Ok Led Zeppelin is a super great awesome band since the media completely smashed them but they still sold about 200 - 300 millions albums.
And umm... The Beatles lost a lot of christian fans after they said they were bigger than Jesus... I seen some stuff about loads of people burning their albums and stuff.

What does that have to do with anything. The media smashi9ng people happens all the time. Lady Gaga gets some insane accusation made about her everytime she turns around and she's still the biggest superstar in the world atm. The media smashing you doesn't have anything to do with how they consider the Beatles "the best band ever" when they clearly aren't. |

They're overrated too.

No one cares what the Christians think. |

@Lobstery Um... I'm sure I can say whatever I want still...?
And Led Zeppelin was completely SMASHED as in Rolling Stones giving their albums 1/2s, the media destorying them, the difference is that Lady Gaga gets loads of airplay, news, etc. Led Zeppelin's songs were considered too long to be shown on radio so their songs had to be good enough (since they were too long) to be played on the radio.

Led Zepplin weren't as famous back then as they are now. And like we already said, nobody cares what Rolling Stones think. |

I never said you couldn't.
"And Led Zeppelin was completely SMASHED as in Rolling Stones giving their albums 1/2s, the media destorying them"
And now, the media considers them to be "one of the greatest bands of all time" Led Zeppelin isn't nearly as overrated as the Beatles, yet they still are highly over rated.
"the difference is that Lady Gaga gets loads of airplay, news, etc. Led Zeppelin's songs were considered too long to be shown on radio so their songs had to be good enough (since they were too long) to be played on the radio."
That's not the media's fault. The songs were too long. The media targets the masses. And the majority of people aren't going to want to sit through 7 minute songs.

Umm... basically everyone's "Best guitarist" and "Best albums" list that loves classic rock revolves around that...
I consider Frank Zappa/Jimi Hendrix/Jimmy Page/Jeff Beck all on the same level.
Lenny Breau/Eric Clapton/Randy Bachman all on the same level for acoustics...
