I find that the Beatles are overrated beyond human belief, I've heard them so much I could vomit. They're a good band but not as good as everyone makes them seem.

Never any band was so influential, original, talentend and best songwritting than the beatles. Best band ever without doubt.
Well everything you just said is wrong, so that would mean you are wrong too.
Never were a band more influential? Patton on his own. Original? Mr. Bungle ring any bells? Talented? I'll have to go soon....in a RUSH. Songwriting? Opeth would take that title from them if they actually had it.
I could use many other examples. Many.
The Beatles aren't the best band ever by far. They're not even the best 60's band. The Who are much better.

Agreed, in the realm of british bands alone The Who, Pink Floyd, and Led-Zeppelin are much better than The Beatles.
False, false and false. More influential? the beatles without any doubt. The broken many rules and open the way for many bands . Original in their moment? without any doubt. best songwritting? A group with Lennon, Macartney and Harrison together is the best songwritting band ever. Talented? one of the most talented bands ever. The beatles are the grupo more versioned and most popular and with many good songs ever. Patton??? The who??? mr bumble ring??? Are you joking??? Which great songs of these people could you post? And by the beatles? The beatles are the best band ever without any doubt.

Hahaha. You actually wanna sit here with me and talk about who breaks more rules and who influenced who more out of The Beatles and Mike Patton/his bands? Laughable, truly. The Beatles are the most namechecked band purely because people are scared to not say anything negative. People mostly say "The Beatles inspired me" to look cool. Because to be perfectly honest, whilst I love The Beatles, if you weren't around during the peak of their ultra hype, all we have to go by is the music they left. Which is just really good, it's nothing amazing.

How? Tell me how they're the most original band ever.

No, no it's not. Because to be fair, it was all Lennon. McCartney's solo stuff should prove this. Secondly, whilst Lennon was a great man, he too is overrated. How many times have you seen Imagine top a list of greatest songs, purely because it was written by Lennon? I have seen that many times.

No, don't try to weasel out. You claimed they were the best ever at everything. None of them on their own were more talented singularly than any singular member of any most other bands on that list.

So? What does popularity matter? None.

Hahaha, you clearly only know The Beatles. Because anyone with any musical opinion worth their salt knows who Patton is. The fact that you think they're called Mr. Bumble Ring is also a part that made me laugh, you uninformed deliquent.
The bands I mentioned mostly don't make "hits". They don't need millions to buy their music for it to be genius. That and the fact that posting them would be wasted on you seeing as you're already so closed-minded as to think they're the best ever in all ways. So if this is an arguement about who's more popular, more known, it might aswell be 50 Cent Vs The Beatles.

They're not. Simple. This is a 60's band thread, so if you wanna discuss best bands ever, go to the best bands ever thread.
The Beatles are the only pop-band on that list also.

Man, without beatles, there wont be rolling stones, who, doors or the other bands. They were the first pop/rock popular band and his style over the years changed the way of people think on music. Without them, another bands wont exist. They created the first video clip, after 35 years they are one of the most selled bands , they are the group with many and many songs in every list music made by the specialized magazines and critics, etc. They are the most influential band.
As i said before, they broken many ways, they were the first pop/rock band to be popular, the first band to be stars, and their style changed the way of the bands until that moment.
It was only lennon?? dude, you haven any idea of what are you talking about. Surely than Lennon songs are great, like lucy in the sky with diamonds or strawberry fields forever or im the walrus, but Macartney wrotte many amazing songs like yesterday, let it be, hey jude or the fool on the hill. Macartney has so good songs as Lennon. And what about harrison? something, hey comes the sun, while my guitar gently weeps, wich are amazing songs. The three of them were important in different times of the grout, and they were three of the best musical composers ever. Lennon overrated? you clearly dont have any clue on what are you talking about, because Lennon is one of the best composers, musicians and musical poets ever. Imagine only good because it was written by Lennon? Man, you couldnt be more wrong. Imagine was and is great because is very good, like mother, woman, jealous guy, instant karma, working class hero, mind games and another songs written by lennon. Clearly, if you post than lennon was overrated and imagine is only good only for being written by lennon, clearly, you dont know anything about music.
Ill give it to you, lennon wasnt the best guitarrist, not harrison, macartney wasnt the best bass player, or ringo wasnt the best drummer, but toghether, they were great and fantastic, they complemented one to other in a perfect way.
Band with many good songs. None couldnt compare them.
None of those groups have the musical impact and the influence than the beatles. For not talking about talent and good songs. Im not talking only about popularity, what isnt really a sign of quality, im talking about many other things, and the beatles surpass the others in all those things.
The beatles are the best british band ever, the best 60s band and the best band ever. Call it as you want, but they were and they will be the number ones.

no they were pish...face facts...the only reason they've had a revivial in popularity is because sad oasis fans do what liam tells them to do...this is evident in the fact that before oasis came along...everyone i know thought the beatles were shit...then oasis came along...and now they all think the beatles are the greatest....but in fact...they're still shit

Nope, the beatles are a little older than those groups. They were the first pop/rock popular band.And the beatles were the greatest band, i dont know about that gargabe about oasis, but they were and they will be the best ones.
Yeah, like one year older, they really can't do much in a year that would heavilly impact the rest of the bands to emerge afterward. And, The Rightious Bros., Elvis Presley, and Little Richard where rock, and they came before the Beatles, and they were popular as well as The Beatles. Believe it or not, The Beatles wasn't the first popular rock group, gotta give props to the originators of the genre.
