I quite enjoy the Beatles. I used to hate them, in early high school. I definitely understand people disliking them, but I think most people posting in this topic don't give enough credit to their songwriting and the talents of certain members. Listen to a to the bassline and guitar solo on Taxman (both McCartney). To my ear, songs like I Want You (She's So Heavy) sound like proto-doom. Sure, King Crimson and Sabbath were just around the corner, but I do think their progression in songwriting is noteworthy. I'm a fan of Paul's songs though, which Lennon called "granny music ****". Can't say I disagree. I still enjoy it. *shrug* Say what you will about their early days too, but they were an incredibly tight bar band with a massive repertoire that transitioned into writing their own music.
