Top 10 Reasons Why the Beatles are Overrated
I'm going to be honest just because the Beatles was the first rock band ever doesn't make them not overrated. However overrated doesn't mean bad so please don't get triggered.It's definitely overpraised but a lot of songs are. Personally I think Hey Jude is not their best song but someone is free to think so.
Hey Jude is a lame song. In fact there is one Beatles' song that doesn't have lame lyrics.
I agree about "Hey Jude" but The Beatles remain the BEST POP BAND EVER & the MOST INFLUENTIAL POP BAND OF ALL TIME.
Rivals SLTS when it comes to being overrated. Not bad just gets too much attention.
I personally think Pink Floyd are much more talented, although they site The Beatles as their biggest influences.
Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Judas Priest, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Sabbath, and The Who to name a few.
They were a POP band, not a rock band.
Not terrible but not great either in the lyric department.
There's nothing wrong with simplistic songs but when compared to Pink Floyd a lot of their songs are average and forgettable.
Again nothing wrong with that but it seems like the topics they most focus on.
Good...good...but nothing special. You have mentioned Freddie M., Oh...Paul McCartney is far far away from Freddie. Freddie was one of a kind, the greatest vocalist of all time.
Paul McCartney sings like an idiot, never liked his vocal tones.
He's ok but when compared to Freddie Mercury he's mediocre.
He is good, but average compared to Freddie Mercury.
For the most part there's nothing that stands out about their sound.
Pretty generic
Even Dave Grohl from Nirvana/ Foo Fighters is a better drummer then Ringo Star.
Ringo isn't even the best drummer in the band lol
Mediocre but not terrible by any means.
It's really not that good.
I won't say Django Reinhardt or Andres Segovia are better than Jimi Hendrix. Since they're totally different types of artists. Cause in this case, guitarists like Buckethead, Joe Satriani or Ritchie Blackmore are better than Jimi Hendrix. But its Jimi Hendrix influence on other guitarists, which made him above all other guitarists.
And I think David Gilmour or Jimmy Page are equally good as Clapton. David Gilmour may be a different type of artist, but Jimmy Page was very much good as Eric Clapton (except for his ripped off songs). However Rory Gallagher was a very good guitarist. But the only difference is that he didn't come before Eric Clapton. Its Eric Clapton's influence which made him one of the three best guitarists. But Rory Gallagher was surely underrated and unnoticed.
There were also many other guitarists who weren't noticed. Vittorio Camardese for example.
OT, but nope, Clapton is definitely better than all of them, especially Page and Gilmour. Though non-rockers Django Reinhardt and Andres Segovia are really even above Hendrix.
Even during the time they were famous Eric Clapton was a better guitar player.
Eric Clapton is better than everybody except possibly Hendrix.
It's okay if you don't like The Beatles, but it's kind of wrong for you to say they're not influential as they have influenced so many people and even other music artists, so at the same time I agree that they're extremely overrated, I can also see why.
So?
If John and George where still around he would be with them.
Don't say 'if you collab with artist I don't like you are automatically overrated'.
