What's the huge appeal of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?

Nah my post was clearly intended to mean that the two groups are on the same tier.

Sorry you can't get behind Tool as an okay group instead of the reactionary ish about them being the worst because so many teenagers ride their dicks like rollercoasters.

I honestly think it's akin to Chula shrieking about 4'33".

I think I've given them their fair chance and when I first learned about them they weren't hardly even famous yet and they sucked since then and that's like 25 years of suckolgy so yeah **** tool. Give a **** about the their fanbase they suck and isn't it Bat who bellows about Cage.

Batlord will debate it but I think he at least grasps the concept despite (potentially) disagreeing with it. I think Chula's mentioned it more times than I have as a point of contention.

And that's cool, we can disagree so long as your opinion is informed. I've just seen too many people incapable of distancing them from their ****boys or who don't like metal in the first place and Opiate has been a good prejudice challenging example I've shown those people so far. They don't peak past a 6.5 for me anyways.

No, thats not what I meant... Sorry, I'm just saying that there is a difference between making that kind of comment about the Beatles compared to making that kind of comment about Korn...

I understood what you meant....

I was just trying to help you understand how much easier it is to flippantly define a career when you don't like the career in question.

Their fans also over-analyse their music, just like people over analyse the Beatles

Would you say that both artists are similarly worthy of analysis (including extramusical things such as influence)?

i) no-one is obliging anyone to over analyse anything. The approach I would encourage is to listen and decide for yourself if you like it or not.

If it's your opinion, go ahead and call Sgt. Pepper "subpar crap" but to call the Beatles "drugged up Brits" is a cheap way to belittle an extraordinarily talented band, and on what basis? Because they are British and because they took drugs. As I understand it, some American musicians have taken drugs too, but I've never heard anyone on MB dismissing "drugged up Yanks".

I use hyperbole a lot but my point isn't even anything against drugs.

1. People see too much into the Beatles and their place in the history of rock and music in general (as a classical fan too, I also believe the same of Mozart and Beethoven but that's another discussion)
2. Yes it is my opinion which I'm entitled to. The style, sound and songwriting of their music is just not as great as numerous other bands around the same time.
3. I think their acclaim comes more from the fact that they are the most well known and publicized band in the existence of rock, pop, post-blues/R&B, which gives them more god-like praise for innovations that we're already done before them but made them "notable" because of their said popularity
4. Yes, I like A day in the Life, it's good for what it is.

5. Probably other points too

I'm not in an angry mood, so I haven't prepped myself to make a full 15 points but hey
