Are The Beatles and Queen overrated?

[BlueHammer85]

Yes mate, The Beatles were just fucking Boyzone with Brylcream. Boring shite. It's OK to like that sort of music though and Skipping is a manly pass time too.

The Beatles were basically Boyzone.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Yes both very overrated.

 

[Kompany Car]

What's your favourite Beatles album, Alan?

Wings the band the Beatles could have been.

It might be an unpopular opinion but does anyone else think Beatles and Queen are both overrated? Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying they aren’t good bands but I don’t think they are at the very top. I much prefer Rolling Stones and the Who.

Now there is two over rated bands - Roger Daltrey can't sing a note. Seen him twice. Him and the Who were a major disppointment unlike Queen who were briliant every time I have seen them (5 times) If you think someone is much better put a link to a video that shows a far better or equal performance to this

Beatles were brilliant.
Queen utter shite.
Only my opinion and like everything to do with music it's subjective.
Some people like Robbie willaims

Scouse oddbods, every song sounds the same. Like a rejected attempt at the magic roundabout theme music. I do like some of their music but fuck me people treat them like deities. They were a good band & Hey Jude is a great song.

Queen were a great band though.

Not in the least and I'm shocked that anyone regardless of the subjective nature of the question would include The Rolling Stones in the conversation, now they were overrated. I do like The Who but even they're not in the running against them two.

I don't know how you can say the Stones are overrated when they've been going since 1962, and they're still going.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I don't know how you can say the Stones are overrated when they've been going since 1962, and they're still going.

I'll raise you Cliff Richard if that's the measure.

 

[BlueHammer85]

every song sounds the same.

Comments are getting more bizarre.

how does 'When I'm 64 sound remotely like Tomorrow Never Knows ? or Yesterday to Helter Skelter ? Love Me do to Revolution? list goes on.

Scouse oddbods, every song sounds the same. Like a rejected attempt at the magic roundabout theme music.

How do you reconcile the fact that most of the worlds top performers recorded Beatles songs ? If they all sound the same why such an eclectic mix of artists ?

I'm talking about artists like;
Elvis Presley
Sinatra
Bowie
Ray Charles
BeeGees
Aretha
Dylan
Oasis
Brian Ferry
Beach Boys
Tori Amos
Beastie Boys
Tony Bennett
Jeff Beck
Bjork
Yes
George Benson
Black Sabbath
Clapton
The Carpenters
Johnny Cash
Eva Cassidy
Kurt Cobain
Elvis Costello
