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

[ThaRealness]

Maroon 5 better than the beatles

Maroon 5 isn't better then Sean Kingston

 

[Pirius Black]

Quincy Jones: 'The Beatles were the worst musicians in the world'

 

[ViShawn]

Y'all remember Oasis? British band that pretty much copied The Beatles' style?

 

[ThaRealness]

Crosby Stills and Nash is what the Beatles were supposed to be

They got that cheery, wholesome sound. But more musically dynamic

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

Maroon 5 isn't better then Sean Kingston

@Greenhornet I respect that you're fighting your corner and broadening the views of the thread but that Long Tall Sally weren't shyt.



Only one I can acknowledge

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

Only song I know of theirs is because the Gawd did a cover of it and he made their version seem like potato salad with raisins.

 

[Miggs]

Paul McCartney had goat level rhythm







John Lennon wasnt too bad himself

These are not Beatles projects...What did the Beatles do that was GOAT ? Its never answered...they were just british with goofy accents and stupid haircuts,musically they were not innovative deserving of the accolades they get.....theyre no different than Elvis to me.

 

[Houston911]

Beatles aren’t even a top 100 level talent

I’ll take Jaheim’s first 2 albums over their entire catalogue

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

So we gon act like chuck berry didn’t make albums with original music that the Beatles bit?

 

[Booker T Garvey]

White people act like the Beatles created air.

Their music was trash too which is why young people don’t connect with them

 

[Roid Jones]

Shyt on a group that developed techniques and concepts that the music industry including your favourite artist still use

 

[OG Talk]

I like their 3 album run of Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sergeant Pepper.

The rest of their catalogue is overrated. Especially The White Album and Abby Road.

 

[Greenhornet]

@Greenhornet I respect that you're fighting your corner and broadening the views of the thread but that Long Tall Sally weren't shyt.



Only one I can acknowledge

Little Richard is the OG thats another thing thats so dope, people gotta see it completely different from American White.
These dudes were fighting and spreading influence of their black hero's, it wasnt them just blatantly stealing, it gets muddy and weird because most american acts were racist and just stealing blatantly with no credit given
Beatles opened for Little Richards and he helped Paul Mccartney out

In 1962, Little Richard Only Thought One Of The Beatles Would Make It

John Lennon was actively trying to end racism in a country that wasnt his and he was illegal in
while rolling and uniting with the Black Panthers ... John was only going on shows if he could bring them with him

I feel like people who hate The Beatles are either being contrarian or just can't hear the appeal.

They weren't amazing technical musicians or singers or whatever but they tapped into something which few artists ever have. They balanced really memorable and relatable songs with trippy instrumentals and innovative studio techniques. Within a 6 year period they made more classic albums than most artists do in an entire career.

They've made a bunch of songs that are going to live forever like Beethoven or Tchaikovsky pieces. You can diss them all you want but it kind of flies in the face of the evidence.
