Never heard of Roots.
Knew about The Beatles before I started school.

I've listened to at least 20 of their songs and only a couple of them were good. Most of their songs are boring. They were very influential but everyone that they influenced sounds better than them

I prefer listening to the roots vastly but I'm not going to argue that they're "better". I don't see how you can compare the two. Better at what? The Beatles are obviously more influential and famous, but comparing completley different music styles in different genres from two highly critically acclaimed bands is just dumb.
I don't listen to music because it's popular or influential so why do those terms even matter? You listen to what you like that's it period

Yo, learn how to use the terms you intend to use correctly.

But yeah, Ive met plenty of people who said they dont like the Beatles, fed them a few albums, and every single one fell in love. You can get mad and "lol" at yourself all you want, doesnt change my experience. Go ahead and think "Penny Lane" and "I Am The Walrus" are even the tip of the iceberg, doesnt change the literal facts that I stated. Talk about bias, dude.

I've always said that anyone who doesnt like the Beatles simply hasnt listened to the Beatles, and its held true every, single, time.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

Hmm... This must mean that Frank Zappa is the best rock artist of all time!

I honestly like the Beatles, but I dont follow the music scene enough to be able to critically engage with arguments like the one I posted, nor do I really care to since my approach to music is if it sounds good, I like it lol.

But people who dont like the Beatles and who are familiar with their work/history are fairly common, and that rant is a fairly infamous meme, so Im surprised the first user had never encountered it before. >_>
