Am I the only on here that actually likes the Beatles? They're catchy and familiar, not to mention have some weird and whacky unusual stuff like Revolution 9. Also found the conspiracy theory fun to dive into.

Obviously music is extremely subjective but you can't tell me that their music was not objectively a massive deal, at least historically.

I also love that their music was essentially mostly all written, composed, produced, and edited by the 4 of them. Nowadays I'm told about how _____ is such a great musician, then I look at the album credits and there's like 20 song writers, 50 producers, 100+ sound mixers, crew, editors, etc. So like are those people that good if they need 200+ people behind them making it listenable?

I guess what I'm saying is that new music is over produced, and I appreciate the simplicity of older music like the Beatles

I love the Beatles. I guess I am a middle aged white guy now, but they’ve been my favorite band since I was a kid.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

There's nothing wrong with their music. It's not what I listen to, but I don't dislike them.

[-] EnderMB@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I don't mind them. I think if you listen to them through the lens of being one of the first bands of their kind, their appeal makes far more sense.

As a story, the way they honed their craft is very interesting. While I doubt it's all "hard work", they're a good example of how practice makes perfect.

I like them, they were a pretty important foundation for my taste in music. I didn't really get the hatred of them that seems popular of late, I can't help but feel like at least some of that is just people following the trend, but it doesn't change my enjoyment of it.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Their influence was so far reaching. Even if you aren't a Beatles fan, odds are that someone you listen to is one and hugely influenced by them. Kind of like that saying I've heard about Neil peart. "If your favorite drummer is someone other than peart, their favorite drummer is probably peart"

Psych rock existed outside the Beatles. They're a pop band. Meh.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 months ago

Does them being popular somehow make them worse? I don't understand this take... What's wrong with liking what you like, without regard to what others like, either way?

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

the OP meme is that boomers lose their shit if you don't have the same opinion as them. That's the whole point.
