Yes, it's a big house. I guess that automatically negates any good intentions he might have had, ever, about anything. And fuck Paul McCartney, I loved Phil Spector's production on Let it Be! |

the worst, most overrated song of all time has got to be "satisfaction" by the rolling stones. the devo version, however, is great. |

bridge over troubled water |

free bird has one of the worst guitar solos ever, plus people (atleast in the us) seem to think its some kind of untouchable god like song. its a piece of shit. as for imagine, its definitely overrated, but i don't hate it. the song thriller by michael jackson, and the stupid video that accompanied it, is overrated as well. |

there's so many..most of the ones you all mentioned..and a few others. regarding the Beatles: Very little of there music is provocative or genuine today. A band like Can, Beefheart, The Stooges or The Velvet's are as timely and edgy as they ever were. The Beatles are trite, pandering and smarmy. they were an alright synthesis, not a great band. |

I liked how John Lennons very own son called him a hypocrite... saying something to the effect of "Well, he always preached about peace and all that, but couldn't even be there for his own kids"... |

really? hahaha |

lennon always felt sorry for that... we all make mistakes... he himself was a lacking father son since he was 5 he didnt see his son julian much due to the success he was having at the moment with beatles... but he did spent a lot with sean. |

Edgy? Calling the VU edgier than The Beatles is like calling Metallica heavier than Love... I don't think that was the point of The Beatles, that's what lesser bands have to do to make a splash... that's what the Sex Pistols had to do. The Beatles were funny pansies, anybody looking into THEIR music for some divine meaning is full of shit, there's a half-dozen Lennon songs that bring that to light. Lou Reed and The Beatles are two different beasts, there's nothing wrong with the direction The Beatles took. Unfortunately for them, they sold over a billion albums. I guess joy, fun and light hearted humor are taboo if you want to be a 'LEET band... Obviously I'm not going to listen to Let it Be if I want something ''edgy''... I like the fact that the Beatles didn't have to resort to any counterculture/avant garde bullshit to be relevant and eclectic artistically... they spread their innovative ideas without alienating any audiences or ever tying to be edgy or ''different''... (well... Revolution 9 and that shit aside, but that was more of a joke than anything, they knew how silly it was, judging by that dialogue)... Generally, even when they were being ''pretentious'', it was all in good fun. They were just a pop band to the end, they got a little more sophisticated and eclectic but they never got in over their heads with stupid experimentation or anything. If they wanted to be edgy or some other lame adjective that has nothing to do with artistic relevance, they wouldn't have done a great song like Here Comes the Sun... totally different goal. I get my fill of pretension from other sources. The VU, yeah, of course, but Can and Beefheart... edgy? Creative, fun little bands... but they've got nothing on The Beatles. They sound downright silly far more than The Beatles do now. I guess we'll find out who stands the test of time best in 50 years or so... at which time, shit like ''Father Cannot Yell'' will be a footnote for a few people to namedrop in ''Beatles vs whoever'' topics |

I guess we'll find out who stands the test of time best in 50 years or so... at which time, shit like ''Father Cannot Yell'' will be a footnote for a few people to namedrop in ''Beatles vs whoever'' topics and Eleanor Rigby will still be a pop masterpiece. There are just as many artists these days that are influenced by The Beatles, directly or not. They're in no danger of becoming irrelevant, certainly not before some Kraut Rock. As for John being a ''bad father'', he's certainly not the only person, celebrity or not, to be accused of that, nobody's perfect. When speaking of fatherhood, don't leave out this part... John himself realized he was in the wrong and spent 5 years basically as a house-husband, looking after Sean Lennon. Julian is bitter, but he hardly HATES John... he blames Yoko (the bitch) more than anything. John made mistakes and it's very likely he would have long since fixed them by now, had he lived. He was/is one of the most recognizable people on earth, and he died at 40, LONG before he could tie up loose ends and complete a legacy... it's awfully easy to criticize him without knowing the whole story. |

yes it is, there were a number of threads about it here, and it was agreed that it was one of the worst songs ever made, yet people still buy it |
