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.

Why?

Because any coward can just appear and fire off personal hatred of
bands they don't like without daring to reveal their favourites, for
fear of getting the same treatment they like to give out.
