They were great, just not as great as the Stones.
Lol, come on man.. <45>
Mick knows..
Love me some Stones though (65-74).

…if they dropped off the face of the earth. Actually, kind of feel the same way about Star Wars...
What, even Ringo?They are obviously very good and were revolutionary for their time. But many people tend to say that each member of the band is the second coming of Christ and their music is perfect up to the last note and plays before the gate of heaven, which is of course bullshit.
Yeah, not even the best drummer in the Beatles...What, even Ringo?
Ringo is like Godfather III. Not part of the story and it’s not hard to forget about it or that it ever existedWhat, even Ringo?
I hear this said A LOT. I know that taste is subjective, but I see it said very often.
J/w if someone can explain why they think that. I think they have some pretty good songs.
Because when you're rated so highly above everyone else, it's inevitable that your outlying detractors who don't like you will receive that acclaim bitterly.I hear this said A LOT. I know that taste is subjective, but I see it said very often.

because I fucking hate them
also, The Monkeys were a huge influence on the Beatles
Well they are considered the greatest musical artists ever. So I can see why people would say that. There just so high up on the pedestal for many. That there will be obvious haters. It just comes with the territory.
They shit on your favorite band. Shit on them.Because they suck ass. No talent product of sheep population
These were all charting hits. Twenty of them were #1's (a standing record).

That's not counting hits so big they've become cultural landmarks by them as solo artists like "Imagine" or "Across the Universe" by John Lennon, "My Guitar Gently Weeps" by George Harrison, or "Maybe I'm Amazed", "Band on the Run", and "Live and Let Die" (for the Bond film) by Paul McCartney.
Probably because they are treated like Gods when it's just pop music.
They were right place, right time and the right combination of talent. The stars just happened to align. I guess I would say I'm a big Beatles fan in that I have all of their albums and find almost everything they do interesting. I can still understand the criticism though but mostly just because they get overhyped by the fanatics.
I will say, Let It Be just got remastered and honestly, I don't think it's a very good album. I'd probably go 7/10 which is still solid but there's a lot of filler and/or average songs on there.
