For a start it's acoustic folk. What are these "repeated riffs" he is talking about that supposedly pervade their music? Most of the songs are not riff driven at all?

As for the lyrics, one should...

I wouldn't say that's an unpopular opinion. It's more like just a really stupid, idiotic one.

I didn't say they stole from the underground, this is about influence. They took on and adapted both obscure and popular styles of the times. As for their roots being in the 40s and 50s, by that I'm...

Seriously dude, I just don't know. The Beatles are my favourite band ever, but I cannot help thinking that there was probably very little that they really innovated into rock music.

And then there...

Crikey, I'm not claiming they ripped off the underground. I'm just saying that virtually everything they did was inspired by other ideas of the time. No doubt, whatever they took, they made their own...

That they are frequently "cited" doesn't make it true that they were particularly significant to either its existence or its development.

Am I criticizing them for that?

God, you make it sound as if I'm attacking them. I'm not! You simply don't get it. The point is, they didn't invent any of the subgenres epitomized by those kinds of songs: they were not the firsts...

No. According to me, they wrote their best music after 1965. But in spite of that, it was nothing new or cutting edge. It was always at least half a year too late, and usually much later. All they...

lol. Totally with you all the way on that. It is not even so bad as it is overblown, overbloated and ridiculous. And so many of the songs on it are drab and unremarkable.
