The Beatles Are Overrated
It’s not like the Beatles suck. The Beatles are great. But a band that people worship as much this band can’t be anything but overrated. Yes, they recorded plenty of worthy classics. Of course they did. But can we all admit that a lot — like, a lot — of Beatles songs are mediocre to bad? For every “Hey Jude,” there’s a “Rocky Raccoon” or “Run for Your Life” that Beatles fans twist into pretzels to justify. And no band that’s not overrated would’ve recorded “Revolution 9.” No way. — Marion Eddy.
