If that's all you think of The Beatles as, then you have a very poor idea of music in general.



Quite the opposite. I just form my own opinions, instead of letting people tell me, what they think is great.

How about this gem from the Beatles?


Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly girl I like your face
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand
Ob la di ob la da life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on
Ob la di ob la da life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on

Or this one?


He Bag production
He got walrus gumboat
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his arms, yeah,
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me



Pure drivel

I never got Pearl Jam. Perhaps it's because Eddie Vedder is such a political douche.

Nirvana - I never got them, either.

As much as I don't think the Beatles are the end-all be-all of Rock and Roll, you can't cherry pick lyrics from songs and claim that the whole song sucks. Some songs hang heavily on the lyrics, sure, but others are more balanced and some have good enough music that the lyrics don't really matter.

I agree, the ob la di ob la da song makes me want to stab myself in the ears, but Come Together is a solid song whether the lyrics make any sense or not.

And yeah, the Beatles early stuff is pure dumb pop. There's a lot more to them than that though.
