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

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

In my household, The Temptations were considered the greatest group ever, and correctly so. No one in the wack ass Beatles could carry David Ruffin or Paul Williams dirty laundry. I legitimately never heard of no CAC ass Beatles until I was in my teens. Only certain demographics consider them the “greatest” :mjpls:
Nice try. The Temptations arent fukking with the Isley Brothers in any fashion

I don't think the beatles are the goats but I fukk with some of their shyt. Especially Let it be.


But u have to remember that this is a forum where when Takashi 69 dropped that Fefe bullshyt 90% of em was in the thread saying it was hot, so u shouldn't take the opinions seriously of brehs who regularly listen to Da baby, lil baby, NBA Youngboy, Kodak Black and all these sing songy mumble autotune rappers seriously

Their ears are wired differently to appreciate wackness and be completely confused by something that's actually good

I have this debate all the time with my lil brother. Every time I see him

The first thing we do is catch up. The second thing I do is shyt on The Beatles

Look, musically there is a major red flag with The Beatles. They let guitar and vocals lead the beat, and the drums are a metronome. You could literally take the percussion out of every Beatles song it would sound just as good. The Beach Boys have the same problem. A lot of those 60s rock groups were so caught up in songwriting they forgot about the fukking beat.

The Who are even worse offenders because they were supposed to be edgy and unpredictable. But they still lean on that early 1960s 'metronomic' approach to drumming.

Rolling Stones are better, because at least they tried to change their ways. they were cold in the 70s :wow:

The Doors - I literally forget that they have a drummer :mjlol:





Every Southern Rock band could groove

The Band was funky as fukk.

The Allman Brothers were one of the most soulful groups to walk the earth.

Little Feat gave us Shook Ones Pt 2.

the Grateful Dead were wonky, but they were so high on acid and happy I always give em a pass :ehh:

Zeppelin is rock music for hip hop fans

You bash the Beatles yet praise Zeppelin who literally we’re a cover band
