The beatles fucking sucked. Their music was absolute shit made for dipshit yuppies and the only reason they were popular is because some record industry big wigs decided they were going to be the next big thing, and because technology at the time was not at the point where anyone could make their own music yet. I hate how they're regarded as some sort of counter culture icons by some people because some of their songs are about doing acid. People want to feel like hippies by listening to the beatles and will lie to themselves and everyone they know to fulfill their little fantasy of being on acid in the 60's and listening to the beatles, when everybody knows they were more tweakers who beat their wives than hippies. they're basically like the nsync of the 60's except trashier.
lol I've made several "i hate the beatles" threads over the years.
I will admit I like a couple of their songs but thats probably due to them being ingrained in my brain since I was a child. But you're right they were the pop band of the time, a lot of people like Legalizespiritualdiscovery will tell you they started psychedelic music but they really didn't they are kind of like what "tame impala" is today but still not as indie.
There are so many other better psyche-rock bands from that time like the 13th floor elevators and the silver apples, while the beatlers were actually limp wristed cum.swappers.
For years I had a disdain towards psychedelic culture due to the stereotyped behavior and bandwagonners that surrounded it.
And I've never liked john lennon he's a piece of shit, though I'm one to talk because I'm considered to be a "wife beater" of sorts but I'm cool now, but the fact of the matter is john lennon wasn't really a "peaceful" guy like he's portrayed as, I even heard a story about where he had yoko ono with him at a party and she (and the other guest) had to listen to him bang some skank in the next room loudly.
check out the silver apples, they kinda started electronic/psyche
and the 13th floor elevators were way more edgy hippie punks than the beatles ever were. The beatles should of called themselves the jedis instead, because thats what they were just like led zeppelin.
