Everyone who says the Beatles are overrated can go frick themselves. They're the best.

It just bugs me when people want to canonize them and act as though they're prophets. They were just four extremely talented musicians dropping acid and writing songs. Nothing more, nothing less.

Lots of bands took acid, that doesn't make the Beatles special.

I'm still not a fan of their fluffy style of music. I am the Walrus, goo goo gajoob? How long did that one take John? Must have sat on the toilet all morning to come up with that.

You may say he's a dreamer. But he's not the only one.

He was an idealist. I don't think he ever expected it to happen. Just like utopias are an impossibility the idea is still nice.

I never said acid is what made the beatles awesome. I pointed out to you that after using drugs their style and sound changed, almost 180 degrees at that. They weren't just the young teens from the Ed Sullivan Show anymore, they were changing music history.

Once again...the "fluffy" music was in their first few years.

You pick out one line from one song to shite on? They are widely, almost unanimously, considered a top 2 or 3 band of all time in music history. They apparently were doing something right.


Who are some of your favorite bands, by the way?

Actually, he pretty much did. He wrote it as a completely nonsensical song in response to academics and consumers obsessed with breaking down the Beatles songs, trying to gleam deeper meaning. So, he wrote a song that makes next-to-no sense as a way of saying, "Chew on that for a while and stop writing me letters, asking to confirm your theories about our music."

ETA: Also, "Imagine" is titled what it is for a reason. He knows it's all a pipe-dream. Hence it's not titled "Get your shite together and fricking conform already"

All of Lennon's songs are about chicks.

There, solved.

King Crimson, Primus, music with balls primarily.

Not that good day sunshine froo froo stuff like the Beatles. But to each his own, lots of people like that stuff because it's easily accessible.

The one or two songs that you continue to spout off in here are easily accessible because they're so generic and bland. The music the beatles made that was revolutionary and influenced musicians decades later and still to this day is the stuff that WASN'T accessible that you won't hear on the radio. You actually have to listen to it. But of course, I'm sure you haven't since you only want to refer to their pop hits.

Oh, and

One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her,
So she caged him up with cyclone fence.
Along came Lou with the old baboon
And said "Recognize that smell?"
"Smells like seven layers,
That beaver eats Taco Bell."


is really just the stuff of legends I tell ya.

That was just Claypool's reaction to all of his fans trying to figure out the hidden meaning of "Sathington Willoby".

Two years of thumb twiddling while Auburn composes itself and I have a lot of vitriol to let out.

Sorry that you were the first to catch some of it, and after a compliment too


But anyway...
