But if you take that attitude to extremes, why are other sixty

Beatles, i.e. Beethoven or Mozart?



Because, generally speaking, Beethoven, Mozart and Co wrote music which

(a) has pleasant tunes

(b) is harmonious

(c) isn't too loud

(d) doesn't require half a ton of amplification equipment

I presume that you are implying that the Beatles did not write any

music which satisfied those four criteria.



Have you listened to Blackbird, The Long And Winding Road, or Michelle?

(To name three off the top of my head.)



If not, perhaps you could - and then enlighten us as to which of your

four options those songs fail on?

Not the Beatles, please, not the Beatles! The most over-rated group in
the history of music!

Compared to whom?

Please give examples of under-rated groups in the history of music.
