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

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.

David Accles. Dylan, Sad Cafe, Kiki Dee. It's an opinion, not a personal hatred; in my opinion the Beatles are over-rated. In my opinion most classical music is boring.
Opinion - a belief or judgement that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.
A personal view, attitude, or appraisal.
