It Still Baffles Me That The Beatles Are Considered the Greatest Ever Without Any Sense of Rhythm

[360dagod]

Heard some of their unreleased stuff on YouTube

Some of those basslines were a work of art...

 

[Buddy]

There would be no alt rock and arguably no psychedelic rock without their influence. Most of you can kiss my ass because I know most of you don’t even listen to rock like that …

Ya damnnnn skippy

I liked "Come Together" but that's really it as far as The Beatles are concerned.

that's what you think ..

give each of these 20 seconds ...

Ive never met a single soul who considered them to be the greatest ever, white or black.

And they were largely panned for a lack of musicality and substance when they were at their peak. They were even called an abomination to music.

Way more people agree with you than you think OP. Most music people view the beetles as grossly overrated

Not in the US but abroad(especially in British and London) they’re god status

 

[⠀X ⠀]

Never cared for them. My aunt gave me a bunch of records, and Abbey Road was one of them. I skimmed through it and never played it again. I didn’t get the hype.

this thread is retarded, didnt even read it.

beatles arent my GOAT but they were great. of course they get overrated, anything classic does.

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

Beatles mad overrated. Earth, Wind and Fire covered their track better.

I know too much about the Beatles and I could school all of yall to this shyt

if you can prove you can play guitar ill really break shyt down because you would have to actually be a musician to debate creating and writing actual music

Yellow Submarine was a soundtrack album, you just posted the Intro basically
And also the time period where they were incredibly high on LSD making songs for a cartoon

just to drop a few gems before we get into it, Beatles weren't just "a white band" they werent from America... you cant look at them as American off rip
The first few albums were filled with covers like most bands back then and they mastered playing small clubs on uppers drunk as fukk. Everything was normal at that point
Most acts werent putting full originally written albums out, just singles and hits, especially not in pop music... because pop music is popular music. It's not a real genre of music
Like Muddy Waters had songs in blues and etc.... people had a lane. Beatles put together well written cohesive originally written full albums when nobody really was...They were using
a much different structure and sound basically creating Pop music just off swag. They didnt just stick to one style of music at all, but whatever genre they went for... they made the pop version of it.
Not only that, they directed highly produced promo videos which led to "Music Videos" And threw full length movies to go with the full albums ... this was like 1963 way before anyone. They never stayed comfortable
and everytime they were stereotyped Lennon or Mccartney would completely turn left and go against the grain.

One of the most amazing facts is, these nikkas were playing full stadiums solo before anyone with 100$ amps to 30k people... and not missing a beat... that shyt is extraordinarily hard fam... you would not be able to hear yourself singing or playing at all with a full band of people. Imagine doing a rap show with a 100$ amp and a mic plugged in to a baseball field full of people. They criticized the Queen and shyt on UK... they came to America and said fukk the racism and inequality in America and Lennon from 1970 - 1980 hung with black panthers and completely shyt on USA without even being a legal citizen here.

I could break down like 10 pages of shyt the Beatles did for hit music, they donated and created prototypes for the first cell phone, the MRI machine etc. They always gave credit where it was due and gave props to their heros... I can see how people wouldnt like the Beatles or not understand but in a 7 year window, they literally created the full album, the original composition album, the music video and promotional roll out and music based movie picture. They werent rock music, or psychedelic music or blues band... they were literally just a pop band ... they pioneered making perfect bops

everytime they said "Well you cant talk about drugs, or you cant talk about whores" they found a creative way to make hooker anthems or weed songs... if you know you knowwww




they also were the first to count in on songs (1,2,3,4!) alot of the cueing up and techniques were later used to blend records and help create a better radio program

Miles Davis is one of the other people that changed music this much... Chuck Berry etc.
There's like a 10 page list of shyt you can directly attribute them for bringing. Other rock bands like the Stones are one trick pony's or following the lead... alot of them just blatantly ripping black music off, Beatles were making pop music with classical instruments and shyt, throwing trombone and brass sections over straight pop. John Lennon's whatever get's you through the night directly influenced the Saturday Night Live theme song ...without Beatles, there is no Purple Rain and shyt like that.



psychedelic rock - doowop mash up with blues foundation


come on fam


mcartney and lennon had amazing harmonies on tracks vocally


john and ringo inventing drum and bass music in 1965 and putting it on a huge album with no fukks given


killing their demo at 17 years old ... complete different style of music every song

Pink Floyd is the GOAT rock band imo, but cant deny the Beatles GOAT level of influence. The switch up from Rubber Soul to Revolver probably had people like

 

[CASHAPP]

The Beatles were the Drake of their era

Talented made alot of classic music but major copycats that copied alot of styles other black musicians did

I think the difference is they credit them more than Drake ever did

Both Beatles(60s) and Drake(2010s) were also Billboard artist of their respective decades and sold the most each decade even with all t

 

[AngryBaby]

Ehh used to think the same, until i explored abbey road after that apple top 100 list. Found that these were pretty nasty and surprised me with the vibe

 

[Rhyme n Tekniq]

Their music sounds like the audio representation of a soggy turkey sandwich made on 12-grain wheat bread,

 

[Swahili P'Bitek]

Can't even fukk with Phil Collins, leave alone Earth wind and fire and those types man. Somebody told me they invented modern music in another thread like what?

 

[zayk35]

I'm convinced that the Beatles were a mind control experiment. Most of anything I've listened to from them is a bunch of bullshyt. Like who could even like that shyt?




*Edit: I scrolled up and seen someone already beat me to it. Gonna go read up on the Tavistock institution

Same as cacs saying Eminem the greatest..this is how they do it all the fukking time.

Phil Collins claims Paul McCartney was an a$$hole and dismissive of him when they met.
Phil shyts on the Beatles 1000 x over and think Paul knew it and was intimidated by a real artist so he tried to belittle him.

 

[Left.A1]

Imagine making your biggest artistic statement, and you let some shyt like this fly



The correct answer can range anywhere from Miles Davis, to Charlie Parker to MJ to Led Zeppelin to Marvin Gaye
