Who thinks the Beatles SUCK?!


Question: I think probably plenty of people do. But I believe they do so either as trolls or out of ignorance.

If you have a clear sense of musical history, and understand music theory, it would be impossible to overstate the Beatles' contributions to music and the broader culture. You don't even have to like them to acknowledge the many, many things they did for the very first time.

Everything from:

using Major 7th chords
compound time signatures
influence of eastern music
making long hair "ok"
changing attitudes towards drugs and sex
redefining the music industry and creating a new entity: the singer/songwriter who made money
invented the word "grotty"

...and the list goes on.

Simply put, saying the Beatles suck is like saying Beethoven sucks. Both have contributed too much for such an easy dismissal.

It's an opinion to which anyone is entitled, but it doesn't provide any insight and so is stated either out of malice or out of ignorance.

Good question, this will show us how many morons think they know about music.
