That was a simplified post of appraisal and you know it. Abbey Road is nowhere as technically briiliant as Sgt.Peppers but Abbey Road is a warmer and more complete album to listen to. I have'nt listened to both albums for a while now and think they are BOTH over rated.

The melodies of You Never Give Me Your Money, Because, The End, and Carry That Weight are heavenly. That's about the most praise I can muster for that album.

As far as I Want You goes, Elvis Costello took the title and a bit of the tune and made a much greater song.

Aye, I liked 'Something', 'I Want You', 'Here Comes The Sun', and select songs from the Medley. The rest is boring and overproduced so much that I can't listen through the entire thing.

Maybe you should head over to the Pop-punk hate thread...

I don't see much point in naming albums from a genre you don't listen to. Of course you're not going to like it, there's nothing anyone can say to make you change your mind (which is I suppose the point of the thread).

The thread is asking why people like certain albums that have sold well or are popular and we just don't understand why. I will concede though that Green Day could be a lot of young kids first steps onto the musical ladder so there is a nostalgia factor there.

I really like older, more lo-fi pop-punk from the seventies, but the 80's/90's/00's pop-punk ought to be just called 'pop' because it's much more pop than punk.

I agree with jackhammer in that bands like NOFX and Blink are the complete opposite of punk, which is fine, it just shouldn't be labeled the same as the more punk stuff.

Yeah, I still kind of like Blink 182 and early Green Day because they're what got me into music in the first place. While some of their songs I can't stand now (Time of Your Life, gets on my ****ing nerves), I still like some.
