Anyone else NOT a fan of The Beatles?

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

I'm not. I get funny looks when I tell people I prefer the "Across The Universe" soundtrack to the original songs by the Beatles.

Same.  I'm pretty indifferent on their stuff.

Their earlier stuff is really dated but most of their later stuff still holds up. They switched styles and invented new ones with each album.

These songs would go #1 if an artist came out with em today.

I actually like the Spooky Tooth version of this song better.

Ditto.  But I do like some of their music as well as some of their individual work after the break up.

No they wouldn't.

No they wouldn't.

You're crazy if you think the Lumineers or Mumford and Sons can see The Beatles in any way.

Please explain how they are one of the most overrated bands of all time?

Anyways, The Beatles are my favorite band of all time but everybody has different musical tastes so I understand if you could never get into them, as long as you still recognize the talent and influence they had. Judging a band like The Beatles off a couple songs though seems a little premature, they have a very deep and diverse catalog were only hearing 4 or 5 of their songs doesn't give you any kind of idea what they sounded like.

they're overrated because a LOT of people like them, but he doesn't

which leads to me to the question...how is that even possible?

if an incredibly large number of people like a band how are they overrated?

if you liked them just as much as everyone else they wouldn't be overrated right?

I used to be really into them but I find myself enjoying Led Zeppelin's stuff a lot more. Used to hate the Stones but now I like them more too. All my friends hate me for it
