Alright im done with the Beatles thing, honest.
Lmao , good to see we got a discussion here even if it is getting a tad bit heated. Let's just put this to rest though, and hopefully no one will get hurt hahah

Glad I could give you a laugh. It certainly was not even remotely heated on my end so sorry if it came across that way. People are allowed to be wrong about any band they want.

Boris's collaborations are far better than their studio albums with just them.

I also think that the Beatles are not overrated (of course they were commercial). I can always listen to most of their songs from their late albums or most of the early ones and I think they are brilliant, none of them sound dated. I think musically they are timeless (not to speak of their influence on other bands).

Lyrics are primarily irrelevant as the human voice is just another instrument to be deciphered as the listener wishes.

Individual, thought provoking lines, however, are sweet.

while that statement is true in regards to some artists, and possibly entire genres, are you denying the existence of lyrically driven music entirely? I can think of plenty of musicians (many of my favorites in fact) who's lyrics are arguably the most important aspect of their work.

With few exceptions, thrash metal guitar solos are all awful and I don't like any of them. Even with my three favorite thrash songs of Master of Puppets, Holy Wars...The Punishment Due, and South of Heaven, my least favorite part of those three songs are the guitar solo (solos for the last two).

The #1 reason I like those songs is unquestionably because of the guitar riffs, with the first minute of both of Master and Holy Wars... being two of my favorite song intros because they are all riffing, and the main riff for South of Heaven is probly in the top 5 of my favorite guitar riffs for all genres of music.

Slayer guitar solos are the worst of all. I don't know if I've mentioned this on this forum before or not, but one of the 'songs' in DOOM 2 is actually an 8-bit rendition of South of Heaven, and it's definetely one of my top songs ever in a video game because it's basically just the intro and riff for south of heaven and that's it. It just loops after that.

I love Slayer's solos. I generally don't care about solos in general, not because I don't like them but they're just not a focus for me, but Slayer's are just so high energy and go all over the place, so it just makes the song that much more intense.

I can only think of Bob dylan.

I thought of Simon & Garfunkel too but they always made great melodies you can like without knowing the lyrics.
