Are The Beatles and Queen overrated?

[roy.or.r]

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.

Music is subjective. They’ll be underrated to some and overrated to others.

Some people even rate the Smiths. ;-)

 

[WestGorton]

They are both much better than The Who for a start.

 

[Barcon]

I wouldn't wipe my arse with Queen and there's plenty of bands better than the beatles.

Lol.

Queen were great at Sun City apparently.

Non of them are a patch on the Spice Girls.

Freddie Mercury's voice was fantastic, If you didn't like the style he sang, fair play. The Beatles were a pop group with catchy tunes that has been replicated time and time again. Paul Weller shits all over the Beatles, but Fred's voice ageless

How very dare you!

All the lonely people in here are going to rock you, we will, we will!

 

[Manchester1894]

Not at all. Great songs.

Paul Weller shits all over the Beatles

They were far more than a pop group.

The Beatles changed the way music was recorded and thought about. There's music before The Beatles and after them quite and they changed the way it was recorded, expanded the idea of what it could be, made the studio the principle way to record albums. They turned pop music from throwaway music aimed at kids into a valid artform and are, without question, one of the most important musicians of any genre in the 20th century. They are right up there with Debussy, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Armstrong, Ellington etc.

Paul Weller and Queen come nowhere close to them. Quite simply, The Beatles changed music.

If you don't believe me, you should read what their musical peers said about them.

I’d definitely listen to more of the Beatles than Schöenberg’s tone rows!

That’s an interesting quote from Putin on there!

 

[blueparrot]

No, they were great bands. Does that mean everyone likes them obviously not. I’m not the biggest fan of either,except early Queen. Doesn’t make them over rated.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

What's your favourite Beatles album, Alan?

I’m not a huge fan of them. I like some of their songs, but haven’t really listened to their albums as albums.

 

[RiversideBlue]

The Beatles produced all that music in just seven years. Noone else has even come close to that level of output in such a short apace of time.

I love queen but there's a lot of filler on some of their albums.

Sorry, that wasn't a question intended for you AHT... it was intended as an Alan Partridge reference !
