Overated? Of course. Epic? Of course. Talented musicians? Not really... but at the same time yes. Oldies? Hardly... if you ignore the 1st half of their career.
Seriously I love The Beatles. Most likely I love them more than is deserved. Seriously I cannot stand the early songs like the hideous Love Me Do. I'm still not sure how people that wrote that song ended up writing strawberry fields forever and A day in the life... Some could say it all started with the first time feedback was used as part of a song (I Feel Fine) or it could just be the Acid. Also thank acid for making Jimi Hendrix so great... shame on acid for making Jimi Hendrix dead. Anyhoo feel free to voice your opinion on what is usually considered the most influential band of the 20th century. Nirvana was fine and dandy but Kurt Cobaine... meh i think people idolize him too much.
Oh also, I'm not really a fan of songs written by paul, he could make an uptempo major keyed song about a funeral and weep of joy while singing it... and that makes me sad.
