An apology is a formal justification or defense of a position.
First of all, it's 'She Love You'. Secondly, Lennon and McCartney were 22 and 21 years old respectively. It was written in a hotel room over the course of a couple of hours. And lastly, 'She loves you' was certainly not the pinnacle of Lennon/McCartney's or the Beatles song writing.
She loves me yeh yeh yeh - I could write that
There is a defining line in music history when the Beatles hit the charts. Their first songs were raw, but for their time, they were cutting edge; always writing something new and challenging.
A band whose popularity has survived perhaps longer then it should have. They are not bad but they also are not the sole creators of music as we know it, all too often people refuse to accept that someone else had the same ideas as them, they just had the chance to do it first.
They bore me.
they were not gods or geniuses. they had a knack for penning the odd tuneful ditty and clearly have been a major influence on pop acts that came after them. let's not get carried away and proclaim them anything more than being a decent pop group
the beatles were gods and we should be ever thakful for the way they developed modern music.
they got the credit they deserve!
There's no way Beatles can be considered overrated. They, along with The Who and the rest of the British Invasion, revolutionized rock music and set the stage for things to come. Even if you don't like their music directly (I'm ambivalent to a some of their work; Abbey Road is one of my favourite albums, though), you have to appreciate the impact they had on music.
Overrated is when you're ridiculously popular, but you "can't meet the hype", rather, riding the back of a one-hit wonder. While the Beatles most certainly fit criteria one, they had the talent and ability to put out incredible, enduring works. I think they earned their world fame, as I know no other band still loved by even today's youth and who not to mention consistently produced incredible songs.
The Beatles are incredible. Their music stood the test of time, and their catalog is incomparable.
The Beatles are great. They wrote wonderful music.
Sgt. Pepper=Overrated. Everything else? UNDER RATED. The Beatles are great for both their talent and especially for the way it blended. Many bands have more than one very good songwriter, none showcased them all as well (together) as The Beatles.
haha i was just about to say that paul, ehem i mean pnbllwzrd
Ok well first I need to say that the Beatles definitely deserve their position as the greatest band because of their diverse catalog and incredible skill and crafting songs. Secondly I need to correct chunkyshoes. It is completely implausible that the US killed Lennon to stop the decreasing of popularity of the vietnam war because he was killed FIVE YEARS after the war in vietnam ended.
The beatles were actually nazi and communist supporters. When the Vietnma war was beginning to lose support from the U.S. citizens, the government was forced to intervene and killed John Lennon. The U.S. had to. We were trying to win a war and the beatles were singing a bunch of peace songs. stupid hippies. If the beatles were still around we would all be speaking Russian. Long Live GWAR
Listen to all the albums. No one has been more diverse and groundbreaking.
They're the best. Especially their later stuff. It's unfortunate they had to go down the way they did.
