Top 10 Things People Feel They Have to Say About Music Even If They Don't Agree

I've found this. People find themselves saying it because it's, well, The Beatles!
I like them but they are overrated. - Britgirl

To begin with, it's inaccurate to label
the Beatles as a "rock" band, in part because "rock" has no firm definition. In the beginning, they were largely a rock 'n' roll cover band (rock 'n' roll is NOT rock), and they were excellent. When they began writing in earnest, they effectively founded what was "rock" at the time and for the next decade or so. They got weird in the psychedelic era, yet still offered premium "rock" mixed in with the "concept" stuff. At the end, Lennon's influence was still "rock" and rock 'n' roll, while McCartney became more and more pop. After the split, Lennon remained basically true to his roots, except for catering to Yoko's mindless, horrible, shrieking noise. McCartney became a purveyor of lightweight, sappy pop, and remains so today.

I haven't any big problem with them, but they are histericcaly overrated.

I know every song of Queen and Freddie Mercury, and I can say, that it's a fact. He is the greatest singer of all time, no doubt.

I should've added "Freddie Mercury is the best singer ever". Anyway I know he is talented. But there are other singers better than him (for me). for example I like Robert Plant's singing and M.Shadow's singing more than him. So I'd say they are better than him (my opinion). I mean I can give my reasons why they're favorite to me, more than Freddie. I like Freddie's voice too. But a lot say that he has the greatest voice ever. I honestly think he doesn't have. not the best, one of the best (again my opinion). - zxm

I find people who don't listen his songs but say that he is the best or one of the best. - zxm

One of the best makes sense if not the best. - Userguy44

For me there isn't any best guitarist. Jimi Hendrix was great, influential but he wasn't the only guitarist who played good. Classical guitarists were more skilled than him. Even people born before him. Django Reinhardt is surely as much good as Hendrix. Sabicas. There were better guitarists before him. Or at least as equal. There are more skilled guitarists than him now. Plus, he was quite sloppy. - zxm

He's the most influential. Not the best. - Userguy44
