Um. Low?

For a short period, he experimented a bit, but I don't see how anyone could call him "experimental rock" overall. He sure wrote more pop tunes than he did experimental music.

Not lame. And I'm talking about their popularity or their massive influence. They were just a great band, anyone who is familiar with their work and calls them lame, I don't know how thats even possible.

Yeah, but when he started out his music was a bit more on the psychedelic side, before making his transition to glam rock.

With the Beatles for me, there are only four songs that I like. They are Day Tripper, Revolution, Helter Skelter, and Come Together (though the latter is better done by Aerosmith).

I don't give a shit about what they did for music, or how everyone else likes them, their music is lame in general to me.

The Who made way better music.

How can an opinion be objective? How can a personal non-science based thought or feeling be objective? That would be like having an objective hate or an objective gladness. It just isn't really something which holds the properties of falsifiable factuality and thus isn't really objective in nature.

What is with you pop elitists thinking that just because a band is more popular it's better. I don't give a s*** how highly the Beatles are regarded by everyone, it doesn't change the objective fact that they were lame. I don't care how many lists they appear on, how many times they are on rolling stone, etc.

Pop elitists? You're the one dismissing entire genres and calling your ridiculous opinions objective fact. You don't find Bowie's work exciting? Fine, but it certainly doesn't suck and it sure as hell isn't experimental rock.

Yeah the Beatles were lame despite being one of the most creative, influential, original, dynamic and important bands ever.

Alfred · 05-10-2008, 06:51 PM

I still don't like their music.

ProggyMan · 05-10-2008, 06:53 PM

Doesn't mean that they're lame.

**sleepy jack** · 05-10-2008, 06:54 PM

If any band can actually lay claims to being the most important band ever and it really not be that farfetched then they deserve some respect even if you don't like their music.
