Worst Things About The Beatles
They're old? Everyone gets older until they die. It doesn't diminish what they have done. And guess what... Elvis would be in his seventies if he was still alive and your boy Gene Simmons turned 61 this year.
They had no style? Look around. I'm not a fan of it, but look around and see how many people are sporting the mop top look today that the Beatles made popular 45 years ago.
People still listen to them? Heaven forbid a band create music that people still care about it has dropped from the charts. I'm sure Bach and Beethoven hate the fact that their music is still around today. I suppose you make it a point to only listen to music that will be irrelevant in a few years?
Not king of anything? They are widely regarded by music experts as the greatest artists of all time.
The only thing you can really hold against the Beatles is that they didn't give us more.
It would have been awesome if the Beatles had made more songs, but in the ten years they were around they hit the number one in the charts twenty seven times. They have been awarded 6 diamond albums, 24 multi-platinum albums, 39 platinum albums and 45 gold albums (pretty good for a band who only made 13 studio albums). The Beatles are also the best selling band in the history of popular music. I think the only negative thing about the Beatles is that they only had ten years of albums. Fab four 4vr!
The only truly bad thing about the Beatles is that they flamed out too quickly so the world was denied the opportunity to see what amazing things they would have accomplished. The Beatles had so many transcendent albums that completely reshaped the face of music that it is entirely possible music as we know it would be different (and probably better) had the Beatles been able to keep it together and keep producing genre defining music.
I agree. It's a shame. If only they performed longer but every band has to end, right? But still I want them to perform longer than 10 years.
First, try learning the difference between "there" and "their" before you start criticizing others if you'd like your opinions to be seriously considered. Next, give some supporting argument when you make such outrageous claims.
Should be number 1
You should not make fun of the name. And just because they were only together for ten years. They were successful. They met each other in 1957. And formed as The Quarrymen. Well expect for Ringo Starr. He met the rest ( John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison ) in late 1962. Ringo's real name is Richard Starkey.
Um, yeah, I am not a huge fan or anything of them but I guess their songs are okay or good but the name... Well, I have to say. SmoothCriminal is partially right, and so is most of the other guys. Really (sorry I have to say this) hideous name. :-(
And after they broke up, in 1980 John Lennon died. But in mid 1990's Paul, George and Ringo got back together and used a demo John used and with it. It was like John was alive with the other beatles.
The only good beatles song ever written was all the lonely people, and that's why picked the name for worst thing instead.
Must be in their late 60s by now ugh
That's right. They were the GODS of rock.
This list is... Erg
Music is timeless.
If they performed for longer it would have been cool but most likely not as good.
Even the great Michael JACKSON, has WAY more flaws than the Beatles, laugh out loud!
Who is this person who made this? Just because the beatles are not the king of anything doesn't mean there are great. You have to listen to them if you think they are that bad. The Beatles sold 600 million records. Look at wikipedia to see that.
Not king is right. Queen earned that title. Even though that sounds weird. But anyway, Queen is the best that will ever be, I love them forever.
Actually, Freddie Mercury the most!
gods!
SmoothCriminal, the artist you take your name from, Michael Jackson, is dead. People still listen to him. Two of the four artists I take my name from, the Beatles, are dead. People still listen to them. Just because people listened to them in the past doesn't mean they're irrelevant. For example, both the Beatles and Michael Jackson express universal feelings such as love, sadness, and joy so well that they both still ring true today, as in Hey Jude or Man in the Mirror. I can't confess to be an MJ fan myself, but his music is very powerful. If an individual or group has the staying power for their popularity to continue after their death, then their music is significant.
What? This is a good thing! It's good that people still listen to real music after 50 years! This list is so ridiculous.
It's okay for elders to listen to it, but why is a teenager listening to music that were in style 50 years ago? ,
People still listen to them. So what! They actully are the best artist of all time. Get a life!
Although there exist good covers of it, some at least
Yep this was their worst song
They had no grace.
This Kong had a funny face.
There is nothing wrong with LSD
A musician do drugs. What's new?
The logo is legendary.
Ringo starr was a nice and peaceful man.
I think some of their titles are pretty creative.
Ringo is the fastest drummer in the world...
As Quincy Jones told today (8th of February 2018)
It's a fact. Worst drummer of all time.
Ringo knows how to play drums
The Beatles were truly great. Yoko Ono? Not so great.
Was started by a bunch of stupid American dj's! Not them!
John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (9 October 1940 - 8 December 1980) was an English singer and songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as a co-founder of the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music. He was assassinated by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980 at age 40. Lennon was characterised by the rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, writing and drawings, on film, and in interviews. His songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney remains the most successful in history.
Well a lot of people burned they're Beatles records after john Lennon said this so..
WHAT! Saying the Beatles are unoriginal is like saying abraham lincoln was a tyrant!
